SEC vs Ripple (Allure)

Ripple won its wrestle with the Securities and Alternate Price (SEC) over the agency’s assert that XRP is a security this year, however the SEC appealed the ruling. Many wise heads hang opined that the verdict was fixed with a shaky excellent premise and that an appeal victory is likely.
