Notably, the Ripple executives are expected to comment on the ongoing legal battle between the SEC and Ripple at the event. Recall in mid-July, the US court ruled against the SEC in the ongoing lawsuit.

In the ruling, Judge Torres said the institutional sale of XRP tokens constitutes securities while the programmatic and secondary market sales are non-securities.

A huge win today - as a matter of law - XRP is not a security. Also a matter of law - sales on exchanges are not securities. Sales by executives are not securities. Other XRP distributions - to developers, to charities, to employees are not securities.

However, the SEC sought permission for interlocutory appeal to object to the court's verdict on the programmatic and secondary market XRP sales. It is worth noting that Ripple Labs will file its response to the financial watchdog's request later this month.
