Ripple's partial victory against the SEC was celebrated as a historic victory for the crypto market. But the truth that no one wants to admit? This battle was just the beginning – and the outcome could change everything again.
The facts:
Ripple won, but not completely: The court ruled that institutional sales of XRP can be treated as securities, while secondary sales (on exchanges) are not. This creates a scenario of regulatory uncertainty.
Dangerous precedent: If the SEC decides to appeal and win in the future, the decision could impact not only XRP but other crypto projects as well.
Now, the controversial part:
This victory could be a poisoned gift.
Ripple still operates on murky ground in the US, and the legal fight has drained billions in value from the crypto market.
The case did not eliminate the SEC’s power to target other coins and exchanges. In fact, it may have given it more ammunition for tougher regulations.
Final question:
Is the market really safer or just deluded by this "victory"?
Ripple may have won a battle, but the regulatory war is far from over – and investor confidence still hangs by a thread.
