To take part in the celebration, embattled Coinbase also relisted XRP, citing that Ripple’s victory ignites further hope in the crypto industry. At the same time, the ruling helps push the agenda of providing regulatory clarity for the crypto space in the US.
For the SEC’s part, the securities watchdog is reviewing the ruling. The agency is also looking for an appeal if there are substantial grounds for such.
Now that Ripple has achieved its much-awaited victory after fighting the SEC and expending hundreds of millions of dollars in legal costs, the crypto space’s attention is now directed toward Coinbase and Binance.
Specifically, the mentioned crypto exchanges are still in a legal battle with the SEC, and it may take years for the lawsuits to get a ruling.
