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

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that he is very eager to cooperate with the new leadership of the SEC, which has sparked speculation in the industry about the possibility of the lawsuit between the SEC and Ripple being dismissed or settled. Legal analyst Jeremy Hogan mentioned that the case may be resolved before April or May, although procedural requirements could 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 filing opening statements set for January 15, the agency may try to influence the direction of the case. However, industry insiders expect that the incoming pro-crypto leadership is likely to create a more favorable environment for Ripple, and a positive outcome could pave the way for the approval of an XRP ETF.
