SEC vs Ripple: Crypto As Security or Commodity? Decide Here!

Posted on 17. March 2023 by admin

• The SEC is currently in the midst of a case against Ripple Corporation, the owner of XRP crypto token.
• The charge alleges that Ripple raised funds from investors and distributed billions of XRP without registering with the SEC.
• If this case goes through, it would set a precedent for other cryptos to be regulated as securities by the SEC.

SEC Case Against Ripple Corporation

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed charges against Ripple Corporation, alleging that they raised funds from investors without registering with the SEC. According to the charge, company executives Christian Larsen and Bradley Garlinghouse “effected personal unregistered sales of XRP totaling approximately $600 million”. If this case goes through, it could set a precedent for other cryptos to be treated as securities by the SEC.

Commodity or Security?

The crypto industry is waiting anxiously for Judge Analisa Torres’ decision on this case. Currently, most cryptos are traded on exchanges governed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), however if this case goes through, many of these tokens will be classified as securities instead. Factors such as individual token news and macro factors like inflation have an impact on crypto prices just like commodities such as sugar, wheat, oil and gold.

Price Movements

Generally speaking, when there is excess liquidity in an economy – such as quantitative easing or money overprinting – we tend to see an increase in crypto prices due to increased buyer sentiment. Conversely when central banks enact policies like quantitative tightening or higher interest rates to reduce inflation, we may see a decrease in crypto prices due to decreased buyer sentiment.
