Ripple’s chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty emphasized that the latest objection by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) does not include an objection to the court’s ruling that XRP is not a security.
On October 16, the SEC filed a Form C civil objection in its lawsuit against Ripple to appeal some of the court’s rulings in favor of Ripple. However, the objection does not target the ruling that XRP is not a security.
SEC Partially Objects to Court’s XRP Decision
In the objection filed by Ripple’s defense attorney James Filan on October 17, the SEC requested that the court review the court’s rulings regarding Ripple’s XRP sales on exchanges and the personal XRP sales of CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen.
XRP Not a Security Decision Remains Unchanged
Ripple’s chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty, in a statement on social media platform X regarding the SEC’s objection, stated that the SEC’s application does not object to the decision that XRP is not a security. “This decision remains a matter of law,” Alderoty said, adding that Ripple plans to file its own objection next week.

The SEC’s objection revived allegations that Garlinghouse and Larsen violated securities laws and helped Ripple violate those laws. It also requested that the court review the partial summary judgments it issued in favor of Ripple, particularly those related to XRP sales on exchanges and the distribution of XRP for non-cash payments. The SEC stated that these issues should be reviewed de novo (from the beginning).
