XRP soared as much as 61% on Thursday after a US judge said certain aspects of the sale of the token did not break federal securities laws. The SEC had sued Ripple for the sale of its XRP token in 2020 for the failure to register XRP as a security. US District Judge for the Southern District of New York Analisa Torres said the XRP token is "not necessarily a security on its face." But there are multiple facets of the ruling and it gets complicated depending on the type of sale of XRP. A motion for summary judgement filed by the SEC in its "aiding and abetting" allegations against Garlinghouse and Larsen was denied.

Blockchain company Ripple said Thursday it received in-principle regulatory approval to operate in Singapore, in a rare moment of good news for the cryptocurrency industry globally as it faces tightening policy back home in the United States. Ripple said that it was granted in-principle approval of a Major Payment Institution Licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the country's central bank. But Ripple also operates a blockchain-based international messaging system called RippleNet to facilitate massive transfers of funds between banks and other financial institutions, similar to the global interbank messaging system SWIFT. Ripple denies the SEC allegations, contending that XRP is a currency rather than a security that would be subject to strict rules. Singapore is one of the largest currency corridors from which Ripple sends money across borders using XRP, the company said in a press release.

Nov 18 (Reuters) - FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, facing mounting legal challenges over the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange, may have harmed his defense by speaking publicly in recent days, legal experts said. Bankman-Fried has sought to explain the implosion of FTX and disparaged government regulators in posts on Twitter and conversations with reporters. Attorneys said such statements will likely make life more difficult for the defense lawyers seeking to manage fallout from the exchange’s demise and navigate multiple federal investigations. His law firm represents many other financial industry clients. Joseph is a former president of the American College of Trial Lawyers who has written about racketeering law and rules of evidence.
