Ripple chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty says the recent filing by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in its case against Ripple Labs does not appeal the ruling that XRP is not a security.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s latest appeal in its case against Ripple doesn’t pose a challenge to the court’s ruling that XRP is not a security. On Oct. 16, the SEC filed a Form C civil appeal with a pre-argument statement against certain aspects of the court’s summary judgment in favor of the defendants in its XRP (XRP)

The SEC has submitted a "Civil Appeal Pre-Argument Statement," also known as Form C, appealing Judge Analisa Torres' ruling on XRP.

The SEC has filed an appeal targeting Ripple's sales practices and executive involvement, while leaving XRP's non-security status intact.
