Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has expressed his eagerness to work with the new leadership of the SEC, raising industry speculation that the lawsuit between the SEC and Ripple may be dismissed or settled. Legal analyst Jeremy Hogan stated that the case could be resolved before April or May, although procedural requirements might extend the timeline. Under the current administration, the SEC is expected to make a final effort before the leadership transition. With the deadline for filing 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-crypto 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.
