(Reuters) -U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres said Labs Inc’s institutional sales of its XRP digital token violated federal law because they constituted the unregistered offer and sale of investment contracts, according to a ruling on Thursday.
The SEC had accused the company and its current and former chief executives of conducting a $1.3 billion unregistered securities offering by selling XRP, which Ripple’s founders created in 2012.
Torres, who is based in New York, said the company’s $728.9 million of XRP sales to hedge funds and other institutional buyers amounted to unregistered sales of securities. However, Torres said the case must go to trial so a jury can decide other aspects of the SEC’s claims.
