Peirce stated that work is already underway to create channels for retail investors to participate in private markets “in a way that’s diversified, professionally managed, and consistent with their investing timeframes.”

She noted that the public markets are now “dominated by several large companies” and that firms are staying private for longer. According to her, the goal is to allow retail investors earlier access to company growth under regulated and managed conditions.

XRP Relevance and Policy Direction

Some XRP holders interpret these comments through the lens of broader financial market modernization. The reasoning is that if regulatory frameworks begin to open private markets to more participants, tokenization and blockchain-based settlement systems could see greater adoption. XRP’s backers believe it could benefit from such developments if its technology is integrated into these evolving structures.

Peirce’s comments point toward a regulatory direction rather than an immediate policy change. Any formal move to expand retail access would involve the SEC’s established rulemaking process, including proposals, public comments, and final rules.

Key details, such as the kinds of assets that would be included, the degree of digital asset involvement, and the safeguards in place, would determine whether such access has any direct connection to XRP markets.

Why You Should Hold XRP in August

According to Rietveld, Peirce’s comments are a good reason to hold XRP in August. He suggests urgency around August. While Peirce’s remarks offered no clear timeline or immediate trigger for market movement, accumulating early is always a good decision, as an announcement could suddenly kickstart a rapid XRP surge.

Peirce’s vision aims to address an imbalance in which retail investors often cannot participate in high-growth stages of companies until they are well-established in public markets. The potential impact on crypto adoption will hinge on how quickly changes are implemented, which assets are included, and the overall market environment.

For XRP holders, expanded market access and the broader move toward blockchain adoption present a strong opportunity. If implemented, these changes could create direct pathways for XRP to play a larger role in modern financial infrastructure.

Hester Peirce reportedly termed the examination carried out by her SEC colleagues on XRP a ‘shorthand analysis’, per a tweet by the pro-XRP proponent John Deaton. This so-called shorthand constitutes an unconstitutional shortcut taken by the SEC in the XRP lawsuit that violated 76 years of case law, Deaton noted. 

He wrote, “Hester Peirce admitted that her colleagues at the SEC perform a “shorthand” analysis and focus on the token itself instead of the circumstances surrounding the offering and sale of the token (ie “the contract, transaction or scheme”).”

According to the Crypto Law founder and the attorney representing over 75,000 XRP holders in the Ripple-SEC lawsuit, the regulator has refused to focus on the circumstances surrounding the offering and sale of XRP; instead, it is focusing on the token itself.

Notably, the SEC’s theory is that the XRP token itself, including those traded in the secondary market, constitutes a security. Dragon tagged this novel embodiment theory dangerous as the SEC is attempting to use it to expand its jurisdictional reach into secondary market transactions. He added that the theory stretches Howey beyond recognition.

“Practically speaking, the Judge rejected the SEC’s embodiment theory that it first articulated in the Ripple case when the SEC responded to the Motion to Intervene that I filed on behalf of XRPHolders,” Deaton disclosed.

Based on this, the top attorney blasted the SEC in the amicus brief he filed weeks ago in the ongoing XRP lawsuit. Deaton noted that the securities agency currently chaired by Gary Gensler is analytically lazy. 

He wrote: “In my amicus brief in the Ripple case, I said the SEC was analytically lazy and its so-called shorthand constituted an unconstitutional shortcut violating 76 years of caselaw.  We must fight the SEC’s overreach and its attempt to exercise jurisdiction in secondary markets.

“The SEC doesn’t go transaction by transaction and argues that XRP embodies or represents both the common enterprise and expectation of profits prongs of the Howey test,” he added.

John Deaton restated his confidence in Ripple defeating the SEC in the XRP lawsuit, expected to be wrapped up in Q2 of 2023. He reiterated that the presiding judge will deny the SEC’s summary judgment highlighting two reasons. First, he said the underlying asset (XRP in this case) is never a security in an investment contract case. Secondly, he mentioned that the Howey test requires analysis at the time of each offer or sale which is something the SEC failed to do. 

Additionally, the lawyer highlighted the significance of the latest ruling recently given in the SEC v LBRY case. The judge ruled that LBC tokens sold in secondary markets do not constitute a security.

All Indications Point at Ripple Winning the Case

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, in an interview with Fox Business, said the SEC Chairman, Gary Gensler revealed that the regulatory agency will lose some of its cases.

Although it’s not yet clear whether he’s referring to the SEC’s case with Ripple, there is a possibility that he was talking about the blockchain-based payment firm.

As quoted by Attorney Jeremy Hogan in a tweet, Brad Garlinghouse said, “I was meeting with Chairman Clayton, I met with SEC Commissioners, no one ever once said ‘XRP is a security’.”

It’s worth noting that SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce has been speaking up since the start of the lawsuit, calling for the regulation of the fast-growing market. Howbeit, all her efforts proved abortive.

As things start to seemingly go in favor of Ripple, Many believe that the firm could use a lack of regulatory clarity for crypto assets against the SEC during the upcoming Fair Notice Defense.
