Notably, the claim is subjected to re-filing after the resolution of the appeal on the class claims of securities law violation by Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, and XRP II LLC.
“If the parties are amenable to this alternative resolution, the court requests that they file an amended proposed order – and if the parties are not amenable, the court requests that they file a notice to that effect – by November 4, 2024,” the court ordered.
