The Ripple vs. SEC Case: A Discussion on Settlement and Interlocutory Appeal
The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has captured the attention of the entire cryptocurrency community. While opinions on the matter remain divided, one user has raised the question of a potential settlement.
In a discussion, Marc Fagel, a former SEC Regional Director, commented on the dispute between Ripple and the SEC. Regarding the likelihood of the court granting the request for an interlocutory appeal, Fagel mentioned that meeting the specific requirements for such an appeal is challenging. However, he added that if the court considers the points raised, the odds may change.
The points under consideration include the case’s significance for the cryptocurrency industry as a whole and any conflicting rulings. Fagel also addressed the possibility of a settlement, which hasn’t been extensively discussed. When asked if the SEC would be interested in a settlement to avoid testimonies from former SEC officials, Fagel stated that if the SEC pursues a settlement, it’s likely due to the high-risk nature of the remaining claims against individuals, rather than the testimony factor.
