Analysis: The legal dispute between the SEC and Ripple may be resolved before April or May

Foresight News reports, according to Cryptodnes, that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed his strong desire to collaborate with the new leadership of the SEC, sparking speculation in the industry that the lawsuit between the SEC and Ripple may be dismissed or settled. Legal analyst Jeremy Hogan noted that the case could be resolved before April or May, although procedural requirements may extend the timeline. Under the current administration's leadership, 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 direction of the case. However, industry insiders anticipate that the incoming pro-cryptocurrency leadership is expected to create a more favorable environment for Ripple, and a positive outcome may pave the way for the approval of an XRP ETF.
