SEC chair Gary Gensler said he’s disappointed with last week’s court ruling that Ripple Labs Inc.’s XRP token isn’t a security when sold to the public.<\/p>\n

Gensler, speaking at the National Press Club, said the Securities and Exchange Commission<\/a> also is pleased with the ruling that XRP is a security when sold to institutional investors, and added that the SEC is still assessing the judge’s ruling.<\/p>\n

Ripple’s victory on the retail side of the ruling was hailed as a major breakthrough for the crypto industry and ignited a surge in crypto prices. It also marked a significant setback for the SEC’s decade-long enforcement efforts in the cryptocurrency industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n
