Ripple Case ‘Inevitably’ Moves to Second Circuit: Former SEC Expert

At MicroStrategy’s recent Bitcoin for Enterprise event, Neel Maitra, a partner at Dechert and a seasoned former fintech and cryptocurrency expert at the SEC, discussed the judicial issues currently tying up cryptocurrency regulation, with a special focus on the ongoing Ripple lawsuit. The complexities were explained in depth. . His insights are particularly noteworthy given his extensive background in regulatory and private legal practice, including his time at Sullivan & Cromwell.

Speaking on the Law and Regulation panel, Maitra discussed various judicial opinions on how to legally classify secondary transactions in cryptocurrencies such as XRP. He emphasized that the differences in judicial opinions, especially within the Southern District of New York, demonstrate the uncertainty and complexity of current cryptocurrency regulation. “It’s funny because three of the judges involved here were in the Southern District of New York. Therefore, judges in a single federal district cannot agree on how to handle secondary transactions in these cryptocurrencies,” Maitra said.

The main issue Maitra explains concerns whether transactions conducted on cryptocurrency exchanges constitute securities transactions under U.S. law. Judge Analisa Torres, overseeing the Ripple case, distinguished between primary and secondary transactions. In primary transactions, buyers purchase directly from Ripple and rely on Ripple’s efforts for their potential benefit, clearly classifying such transactions as securities under the Howey Test.

However, Judge Torres argued that secondary transactions that occur anonymously on an exchange do not automatically qualify as securities transactions. She called this “blind trading,” where the buyers are often simple-minded investors who don’t know who they are buying from or the intricacies of Ripple’s underlying business operations.

In contrast, Justices Jed Rakoff and Katherine Polk Failla adopted a broader view in separate cases (Terra Luna and Coinbase, respectively). They hypothesized that the aggressive marketing strategies used by cryptocurrency companies could impact both primary and secondary market trading, potentially leading to secondary trading also being classified as securities.

“The differing opinions among the judges highlight the nuances and evolving nature of cryptocurrency regulation,” Maitra explained. He predicted, “It’s inevitable that this (Ripple vs. SEC case) will go to the second circuit, maybe even more, but who knows. But like Coinbase, there’s still a long way to go on this particular decision.” His comments highlight the ongoing debate and the likelihood of the case progressing through higher judicial tiers.

Maitra also shed light on the SEC’s interpretation of the outcome of these cases. Despite some of the ruling’s setbacks, the SEC does not view this as a repudiation of its overall stance on cryptocurrencies as securities. “The SEC does not necessarily view the Ripple case as a failure of the theory that secondary trading of cryptocurrencies is securities trading. “They just see that we can’t present enough evidence to convince the court, and we’re going to fix that at the second circuit level,” he said.

This view suggests that the SEC is preparing to refine its claims and evidence in anticipation of further judicial review. This ongoing lawsuit not only impacts Ripple and other individual companies, but sets an important precedent that could shape the regulatory environment for the entire cryptocurrency market in the United States.

At press time, XRP was trading at $0.54259.
