The LBRY LBC token has risen by 67% as rumors have spread that a judge will allow it to continue to be sold on secondary markets.  Although the SEC prevailed in its case against LBRY that it had sold an unregistered security, a "friend of the court" said on Monday that the judge told him his upcoming order to stop selling LBC won't apply to the secondary market.   The SEC sued LBRY in March 2021 for selling unregistered securities.  LBRY argued in court that the token is not a security but ended up losing the battle against the SEC in November.  John Deaton, founder of Crypto Law and managing partner of Deaton Law Firm, appeared as a "friend of the court" in a Monday hearing regarding secondhand sales of LBC. Deaton said the judge in New Hampshire told him, "I'm going to make it clear that my order does not apply to secondary market sales." Although there isn't a transcript available yet, Deaton's quote alone prompted enough optimism to increase the price of LBC. The judge's ruling isn't likely to come for weeks.
