Stuart Alderoty, Ripple's chief legal officer, wrote on X in response to the "SEC has filed an opening statement of appeal against Ripple": "As expected, the SEC's appeal is just a restatement of arguments that have failed - likely to be abandoned by the next administration. We will formally respond in due course. For now, know this: SEC litigation is just noise. A new era of pro-innovation regulation is upon us, and Ripple is thriving."
