Prompted to respond to the court ruling, former SEC Chief of the Office of Internet Enforcement, John Reed Stark, said<\/a>,<\/p>\n \u201cJudge Torres\u2019s order denying the SEC the opportunity for an interlocutory appeal has also decreed that her previous summary judgment decision should not be cited as precedent (unless the facts of the new case are exactly the same).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty responded to Stark\u2019s comments, saying<\/a>,<\/p>\n \u201cAgree to disagree on the legal impact of Judge Torres\u2019s rulings, but you also seem to be saying that XRP uniquely stands as the only digital asset (other than BTC) with judicial clarity as a non-security. There we are on the same page.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Stark responded to Alderoty\u2019s comments, reemphasizing Judge Torres\u2019s opinion vis-\u00e0-vis precedent, saying<\/a>,<\/p>\n \u201c[\u2026] I read the order and it struck me as unusual that a judge would go to such lengths to caution against citing a decision as precedent. In fact, I can\u2019t recall reading an opinion in a securities case so extreme along those lines.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Stark went on to say,<\/p>\n \u201cBut then again, if Judge Torres admitted that her decision had meaningful precedential value, then that would weigh in favor of the SEC\u2019s right to an interlocutory appeal. Of course, I also believe that Judge Torres\u2019s summary judgment decision will be overturned.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Stark concluded,<\/p>\n \u201c[\u2026] with respect to this week\u2019s decision, there seems to be very little wiggle room on the issue of precedential value, at least IMHO.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n John E. Deaton, Amicus Curiae attorney to 75,000 XRP holders, previously emphasized one area of Torres\u2019s opinion, saying,<\/p>\n \u201cShe stated that\u2019s she never said no digital asset could ever be a security sold on an exchange.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Considering the comments of John E. Deaton and John Reed Stark, the SEC must win its case against Coinbase (COIN<\/a>).<\/p>\n From a US legal and regulatory standpoint, the outcome of the SEC v Coinbase case will likely have far more significant ramifications.<\/p>\n Coinbase, the SEC, and the crypto community await a court ruling on the Coinbase motion to dismiss (MTD).<\/p>\n Deaton believes<\/a> if Judge Katherine Failla grants the Coinbase MTD, the SEC may have to settle the Ripple case.<\/p>\n\n
