Blockchain law: Crypto, the SEC and a tale of two judges
New York Law Journal
What if you had been waiting years to get judicial clarity on a legal issue, only to receive contradictory rulings from two different judges in the same court just weeks apart? This ironic outcome is what befell the crypto industry in two high-profile challenges to SEC enforcement actions regarding sales of crypto tokens.

In a mixed decision in SEC v. Ripple Labs, 2023 WL 4507900 (S.D.N.Y. July 13, 2023) (Torres, J.), the court held that the securities laws applied to some, but not all, sales of Ripple’s XRP token.
