The SEC has officially filed an appeal against Judge Analisa Torres’s decision in the Ripple case. Just ahead of the October 7 deadline, the agency submitted its request to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, challenging parts of the ruling from July 13, 2023.

However, this new appeal suggests the legal battle is far from over and could have contributed to XRP’s recent price slump. Despite this setback, several legal experts in the crypto space believe the SEC’s chances of success in the appeal are slim.
