- In the ongoing Ripple Case, the Judge surprisingly took XRP holders’ views into consideration as amici curiae.
- The judge still denied the XRP holders’ motion to intervene in Ripple’s case against SEC.
Just recently, the dispute between ریپل اور ایس ای سی surprised the crypto industry. A few days later, the decision of the case’s judge again shocked the public. According to کی رپورٹ, Federal Judge Analisa Torres just allowed XRP ہولڈرز to give their “meaningful perspective” on the case. With this, the XRP holders will now act as amici curiae.
واضح کرنے کے لیے، amici curiae is a Latin word meaning ‘friends of the court’. This means XRP holders can now file briefs on the case.
اس کے مطابق ، نقل مکانی کرنے والوں کو ، ان کی انفرادی صلاحیتوں کے مطابق ، اس عمل میں امی کیوری کے طور پر کام کرنے کی اجازت ہوگی۔ اس طرح ، نقل مکانی کرنے والوں کو اجازت دی جائے گی کہ وہ عدالت سے پیشگی منظور شدہ کیس سے متعلقہ قانونی مسائل کو بریف کرکے عدالت کی مدد کریں۔
Federal Judge Torres noted that six XRP holders “including [with] the right to present argument and proffer evidentiary material based on their experience and knowledge of the market” (Defs.’ Response at 14), but that Movants’ participation “should not involve any ‘additional discovery’ nor ‘any change to the current scheduling order’” (id. at 15 (quoting D.E. 123 at 14)).
As good as it sounds, there is a downside too as XRP holders cannot offer evidence or present witnesses. The involvement of the XRP holders only extends to legal issues, so as not to show any prejudice.
All these happened thanks to Attorney John Deaton. He is the one who took an effort in interposing XRP holders’ participation in the case. He also expressed his joy about the matter on Twitter.
However, SEC also expressed its disappointment on the matter saying that granting movants with the amici status was inappropriate. SEC further argued that XRP holders “were compelling the agency” to take legal action against the regulator. Moreover, SEC says it is unseemly because of the community’s bias.
Relatively, XRP, which is already one of the world’s biggest coins by Market Capitalization, is increasing in value as the case goes on. Based on CoinMarketCap ڈیٹا, at the time of writing, it had a 3.11% increase in the last 24 hours and a total of 14.38% in the past 7 days when the lawsuit emerged.
