Ripple has won a motion to exclude an expert witness for testifying in the case against the company by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The judge ruled in favour of Ripple to exclude the first opinion of a reasonable XRP purchaser from the witness, while denying the rest of the testimony. However, Ripple’s argument to exclude expert witness number three was rejected. The case has significant implications for the crypto regulation in the US. Ripple’s win may hurt the SEC’s case since it has to prove that XRP investors had an expectation of profits from Ripple’s efforts.

XRP Lawsuit News
This lawsuit has been dragging on for a long time, and the majority of us are tired of it and hope for it to be over. But I’d say that’s always a double-edged sword.

Then again, the moment it’s over, crypto regulation has a new basis in the US, which is huge, and our portfolios will pump.
Jeremy Hogan’s Opinion on the Matter

Judge Issues a Ruling on Party’s Motions to Preclude Expert Testimony
Breaking the judge issues a ruling on party’s motions to preclude expert testimony, and let’s see what Jeremy Hogan had to say about this situation. After the ruling, Hogan says, “the SEC has to prove reasonable reliance. Who will testify for that?”
Ripple’s Argument on Expert Number Three
Lastly, the court rejects Ripple’s argument that expert number three’s opinions are irrelevant and unfairly produce expert number three’s testimony about defendants’ incentives of Ripple’s incentives and actions to influence the XP price is directly relevant to the fact-finder’s determination about whether purchasers of xrp reasonably expected profits derived from Ripple’s efforts.
