@zasad@. The victory in the case on Ripple is the judges ruling that have declared that the tokens by themselves are not securities. This might open a new roadmap for development teams on how to issue tokens without making it a security. I speculate that proof of work will become useful again in this new distribution method where projects will use proof of work for distribution then make the transformation to proof of stake. It might be similar to Ethereum without the premine.
Then let's come to some agreement on this issue.
I think that even before the court’s decision it was clear that if a token was not sold to investors, then it cannot be a security.
This is what the famous Howey test says.
The fact "that tokens themselves are not securities" helps US-based crypto exchanges avoid accusations of securities trading.
Ripple still has a bunch of other legal charges, and most likely they will pay a fine. Ripple was also engaged in active marketing and market manipulation (like other projects).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5480233Is this a secret? This has been known to everyone for a long time, but with such requirements it was impossible to work on the crypto market.
