[Bitnomial sues the US SEC over XRP futures, questioning the agency's continued claim that XRP is a security] Golden Finance reported that FOX Business has learned that the US Securities and Exchange Commission still firmly believes that the cryptocurrency XRP is a security. The news was revealed after the cryptocurrency derivatives exchange Bitnomial filed a lawsuit late Thursday, suing Wall Street's top cop for claiming that the US Securities and Exchange Commission has jurisdiction over a planned futures contract that tracks the price of XRP, the seventh-largest digital asset by market value. Bitnomial is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, a sister agency of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. After the US Securities and Exchange Commission's lawsuit against blockchain payment company Ripple ended, Bitnomial self-certified the XRP dollar futures contract in August.
