- A surprise filing adds complexity to the Ripple vs. SEC case ahead of the June 16 deadline.
- Unexpected filing challenges the Howey Test, questioning its 90-year-old interpretation.
- XRP price falls to its lowest since May 8 as the Ripple-SEC case continues with no resolution.
A surprising new twist has emerged in the Ripple vs. SEC case with an unexpected court filing. At this crucial time, just before the June 16 deadline, a surprise filing was submitted by a third party. Adding the filing has increased the complexity of a case that some believed was becoming stagnant.
Bill Morgan, a lawyer supporting cryptocurrency, had predicted a further development in the case, especially after the last motion was dismissed two weeks earlier. Still, he did not anticipate that the filing would be made in this way. The third party’s filings argue that the Howey Test should be reconsidered because it plays a major role in defining an investment contract. The complaint discusses how courts over the past 90 years have addressed the question of “investment contract” under the Howey Test.

Surprise Filing Raises New Doubts in Ripple vs. SEC Case
The timing of this filing is crucial, as the SEC must submit a status report to the Court of Appeals by June 16. The unexpected filing has raised questions about the case’s direction and whether the SEC will address it in its upcoming report.
As a result, there is now even more uncertainty in this complicated case. Years have passed since the Ripple-SEC battle began, and multiple motions and decisions have slowed down reaching a final outcome. Because it was filed so unexpectedly, this filing is another complication in the case’s direction.
Howey Test Shift May Redefine Crypto Regulations
The way the complaint challenges the Howey Test and the SEC’s approach to “investment contracts” may influence the regulation of crypto assets going forward. This case is already being closely followed by experts and the crypto community, and the new filing will likely continue to draw attention.
The recent filing is likely to have a significant impact on how the case is decided and the future laws surrounding cryptocurrencies. The sudden filing has made investors sceptical and caused XRP’s price to drop to its lowest point since 8 May. As of now, XRP is trading at $2.18, down by 4.58% over the past day.
No conclusion has been reached yet in the Ripple vs. SEC case, which started in December 2020. With the 16 June deadline for the SEC’s status report approaching, the case continues to astonish people, most notably those in the XRP community, who are hoping to hear more.
