The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) moved Wednesday to appeal a federal judgeā€™s final judgement in its ongoing lawsuit against crypto firm Ripple over sales of the XRP cryptocurrency.

The regulatorā€™s move sent the price of XRP tumbling, and came just a day after Bitwise filed for an XRP ETFā€”with the SEC.

The news came as the SEC announced that Gurbir S. Grewal, director of the regulatorā€™s division of enforcement, would step aside from his role. In his time at the SEC, Grewal has overseen dozens of enforcement actions against crypto firmsā€”with the news inevitably prompting speculation that his departure was tied to the agencyā€™s crypto moves.
