The post Will XRP Lawsuit End Today? SEC Closed-Door Meeting Stirs Ripple Case Rumors appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
A closed-door meeting of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 30 has sparked new speculation about the future of the ongoing Ripple case. This marks the fifth such meeting of the year, and it has grabbed the attention of the XRP community, which is hopeful for potential developments regarding the lawsuit.
The meeting, scheduled in advance and disclosed via a Sunshine Act notice on the SEC’s website, will feature SEC acting Chair Mark Uyeda and Commissioner Hester Peirce. Uyeda’s leadership is drawing particular attention, as he is known for his critical stance on using enforcement actions to regulate cryptocurrency.
The subject matter of the closed meeting will consist of the following topics:
Institution and settlement of injunctive actions;
Institution and settlement of administrative proceedings;
Resolution of litigation claims; and
Other matters relating to examinations and enforcement proceedings.
As he continues serving as interim chair, awaiting confirmation from the U.S. Senate for a permanent successor, many believe his leadership may favor clarity and fairness for the crypto industry.
Ripple’s Potential Breakthrough
Adding to the anticipation is the recent development that the SEC has reportedly removed all references to Ripple from its litigation releases section on its website. This has led to speculation that the lawsuit involving Ripple may be nearing its end. Although this change is not conclusive proof that the case is over, it has certainly fueled excitement within the XRP community. The situation remains fluid, and while there is no official confirmation, the XRP community is hopeful that this is a sign of progress.
Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, recently spoke about the dangers of crypto maximalism, advocating for a more inclusive approach to the industry. Garlinghouse, who owns various cryptocurrencies including XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, expressed his belief that a collaborative attitude is essential for advancing the crypto space.
