There have been several key developments in the SEC’s battle against Ripple. Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal met Ripple’s Stuart Alderoty recently. The two had a conversation regarding regulation in the crypto ecosystem and informed community members of more such meetups in the future.
An XRP proponent and community member narrowed down key dates for Judge Analisa Torres’ final verdict on SEC vs. Ripple, identifying July 4 as one of the most likely dates when the lawsuit could draw to an end.
Ripple continues to enjoy support from the XRP community and proponents like Attorney John Deaton while holders await a verdict on the prolonged lawsuit.
