Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, commented on "US judge rejects Ripple and US SEC's request to suspend appeal," saying, "This puts the ball back in our court. The court has given us two options: dismiss our appeal of the historic institutional sales finding, or proceed with the appeal. Stay tuned. In any case, the legal status of $XRP as not a security will not change. In the meantime, business as usual." [Foresight News]
