The most important part of this ruling: “XRP, as a digital token, is not in and of itself a “contract, transaction[,] or scheme” that embodies the Howey requirements of an investment contract.” This is a now a matter of law (not up for trial.)

Okay, I'm just going to say what most of us are probably thinking: If Coinbase 🛡️ Binance.US 🇺🇸 Kraken Gemini Jesse Powell Marco Santori Tyler Winklevoss Cameron Winklevoss Crypto.com do not list $XRP by 0001 PST tonight, they are the biggest bitches out there.

I hereby declare July 13th victory day.

It's outrageous that in today's Senate hearing, Mr. Gensler again misstates the law (and the Howey test), suggesting that tokens, standing alone, are investment contracts. Is the SEC really going to continue to be allowed to peddle these falsehoods?

It’s absurd to blame a Judge for faithfully applying the law. We all know legislation – not more regulation by enforcement – is the only way forward to provide clear rules and protect retail. Glad to see more members of Congress like Rep. Ritchie Torres, Patrick McHenry champion this.

AND... the SEC continues making questionable decisions, requesting an interlocutory appeal. Note that it is NOT appealing whether XRP itself is a security - just its losses on the programmatic and individual sales issues.

This is the only project the agency whose purpose is to protect main street investors ever approved and excluded from regulation. This is the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the US. The Ethereum crooks bribed the SEC. There is no way around this very fact.

Marc Cohodes Laura Shin Yeah, Laura Shin deceives under the guise of a reporter. FTX is nothing compared to the magnitude of the fraud she’s helping people like Vitalik & Joe Lubin perpetuate on people. I remember you being ahead of everyone on that one, this is 1000x worse. Called her out here:

Today was an even better day. Ripple: 3 SEC: 0 In all seriousness, Chris and I (in a case involving no claims of fraud or misrepresentations) were targeted by the SEC in a ruthless attempt to personally ruin us and the company so many have worked hard to build for over a

@TiffanyFong_ Ethereum is the fraudulent elephant in the room in plain sight 1000x bigger than SBF. Joe Lubin & Vitalik Buterin have been the front with corrupt officials at the highest levels of federal agencies such as Clayton, Gensler & many others. Cover this now.

Imagine that the U.S. led the digital asset revolution. Imagine we GLORIFIED builders of new technology instead of villifying and persecuting them. Imagine we SUPPORTED and put the strength of our government behind the new financial system. Imagine THAT. We've done it Before.

And yet Gary Gensler has prosecuted honest businesses (ask the judges who agreed) and let crooked SBF carry out a massive fraud right under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s nose. Resign.

Eth Maxis: we are the most decentralized protocol & not centrally controlled. Eth Maxis: Stop pointing out Vitalik & Lubin’s possible criminal actions because they’re critical to our success. Eth Maxis: We don’t really believe we are fully decentralized so please stop 🤔🤔🤔

Ethereum Insider Says ETHGate Affects XRP Price & StormX CEO Simon Yu and co-founder of U.S. Blockchain Coalition Arry Yu colluded with the government in fabricating charges that led to his indictment in 2019. thecryptobasic.com/2023/12/21/eth…

Stunning hypocrisy from the person who cozied up to the biggest fraud in recent memory. Gensler is a political liability whose actions have decimated consumers and destroyed the integrity of the SEC, while remaining buddy-buddy with Wall Street. youtu.be/6N8yyKPOPWM?si…

Before the SEC sued Ripple, Chris and Brad (3 yrs ago today) they offered us the following settlement: the SEC would announce to the market that XRP is a security and the market would be given a short window to “come into compliance.” We said no because: (1) XRP is not a

If people haven’t figured it out by now, let me help you: the speech was a pure money grab - nothing more, nothing less. Whether you believe in #ETH or whether Ethereum is a great technology or ecosystem, is not the point. As I’ve said before, had the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Ethereum

The CCP has taken over Crypto by being Ethereum's largest hidden whale, with an ownership estimation on my end of near 66.6% of the Eth supply today. They've clearly compromised the SEC, and CFTC, with Prometheum being given the ONLY Special Purpose Dealer Broker license for

Dr. Artur Kirjakulov To put it mildly, its embarrassing for CoinDesk. It's embarrassing for the industry. But as Dr. Artur Kirjakulov points out - these are the kinds of people (a 'deputy editor') holding the whole industry back. Childish antics masquerading under what should be a credible brand that
