Ripple requests Judge Netburn to reject the SEC’s demand for extension

Ripple price started an uptrend as the payment giant criticized the Securities & Exchange Commission’s (SEC) demand for an extension of time in the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit. Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple along with co-founder Chris Larsen, addressed Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn and argued that the court deny the SEC’s request to allow a “brief extension.”

The SEC requested an extension to state its intentions on conducting additional discovery. The regulator filed the request on March 21, 2022. The payment giant has criticized the regulator’s request. The SEC argued that the extent of the discovery they wish to take is unclear and needs additional time to decide whether it is required. 

Analysts have evaluated the Ripple price trend and predicted a rally in the altcoin. @TrendRidersTR, a crypto analyst and trader, noted a bullish rider band in the Ripple price chart. This implies a trend reversal in the altcoin. The analyst argues that the Ripple price could break resistance and continue its uptrend. 

Analysts have set a target of $1.13 for Ripple price and predicted a breakout in the altcoin.
