Ripple urges SEC to finalize crypto rules, clarify when tokens cease to be securities

Ripple backs the SEC's proposed regulatory framework while seeking clearer protections for crypto issuers, exchanges, and secondary market transactions.

Ripple argued that an investment contract involving a cryptocurrency does not automatically make the underlying token a security.
