Ripple CEO Expresses Optimism for Resolution with SEC

According to Odaily, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has expressed a strong desire to collaborate with the new leadership of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), sparking speculation about a potential dismissal or settlement of the ongoing lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC. Legal analyst Jeremy Hogan suggests that the case might be resolved by April or May, although procedural requirements could extend this timeline. Under the current administration, the SEC is expected to make a final push before the leadership transition. With the deadline for submitting opening statements set for January 15, the agency may attempt to influence the case's direction. However, industry experts anticipate that the incoming pro-cryptocurrency leadership could create a more favorable environment for Ripple, potentially paving the way for the approval of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF).
