As President-elect Donald Trump<\/a> \"information\"<\/span> <\/a><\/span> Donald Trump<\/span> <\/span> Donald Trump is an American former president politician, businessman, and media personality, who served as the 45th president of the U.S. between 2017 to 2021. Trump earned a Bachelor of science in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. Trump won the 2016 presidential election as the Republican Party nominee against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton while losing the popular vote. As president, Trump ordered a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries, diverted military funding toward building a wall on the U.S.\u2013Mexico border, and implemented a family separation policy. Trump has remained a prominent figure in the Republican Party and is considered a likely candidate for the 2024 presidential election <\/span> <\/span> President<\/span><\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> prepares to take office on Monday as the 47th president of the United States, he has made a surprising move by launching his own cryptocurrency, the $TRUMP coin<\/a>. Despite his previous hesitations about cryptocurrency, Trump had expressed his belief that America would become \u201cthe crypto capital of the planet\u201d once he returned to Washington.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The timing of the launch has raised some eyebrows. Critics have accused Trump of capitalizing on his imminent presidency to profit from the popularity of cryptocurrencies, particularly meme coins. However, some experts are focusing on how this move could have an impact on ongoing legal battles in the crypto space, particularly the high-profile lawsuit<\/a> between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/p>\n

Ripple Lawsuit: Could Trump\u2019s $TRUMP Coin Affect The Case?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Attorney Bill Morgan recently discussed the implications of Trump\u2019s actions on the Ripple lawsuit. Morgan pointed out that the appeal of Judge Torres\u2019 finding against Ripple\u2019s fair notice defense is now looking more promising. For context, the SEC has been pursuing legal action against Ripple, claiming that the company\u2019s sale of XRP violated securities laws. However, Ripple argues that it had no clear notice that its sales of XRP were subject to SEC registration requirements.<\/p>\n

Morgan drew attention to Trump\u2019s stance on the issue of cryptocurrencies and investment contracts. While Trump has issued and promoted the $TRUMP meme coin, he does not believe that such tokens should be classified as investment contracts that require SEC registration. This is a key issue in the Ripple lawsuit, where the SEC argues that XRP should be treated as a security, while Ripple maintains that it is a digital asset.<\/p>\n

The @Ripple<\/a> appeal of Judge Torres finding against Ripple\u2019s defense that there must be a contract or post sale obligations is looking good. <\/p>\n

After all the President of the USA thinks a token with no post sale obligations to buyers can be issued and promoted without being\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/OByrCesd8j<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Given that Trump has issued a speculative meme coin without adhering to the traditional regulatory frameworks that the SEC enforces on other tokens, Morgan questioned how the SEC v. Ripple case could continue under these circumstances. He said that Ripple\u2019s sales of XRP, like the promotion of $TRUMP, did not involve any post-sale obligations, which is a point of contention in the Ripple case.<\/p>\n
