Things are finally looking up for the crypto space, and it’s not just because prices are have been soaring the past couple of days…

In case you haven’t heard the news, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ruled on Thursday, July 13th 2023 that Ripple’s XRP token is NOT a security in regards to programmatic sales on digital asset exchanges.

Although SEC Federal Judge Analisa Torres did rule XRP to be a security when sold to institutional investors (under the conditions of the Howey Test), XRP not being classified as a security otherwise is a small, yet important victory for the entire cryptocurrency, blockchain and Web3 sector (Margaret Rosenfeld’s tweet thread sums this up well).
