Ripple CEO Optimistic About Conclusion of SEC Legal Dispute
Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, is hopeful that his company is nearing the end of its lengthy legal battle with the SEC. Garlinghouse has expressed optimism about the possibility of a resolution by the end of the summer.
Positive Projections for Ripple
– Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC seems to be approaching a resolution
– Brad Garlinghouse anticipates a swift conclusion to the dispute
– Although the exact timeline remains uncertain, a decision could come by the end of the summer
“Why did the SEC start with XRP…? Looking at us now, it seems that we are almost at the end of this journey,” mentioned Garlinghouse, teasing a potential resolution date of September 21 as “the end of summer.”
“The judge’s decision will come when it comes. I think it could be by the end of the summer. Someone asked me if it would be by the end of August, but I pointed out that September 21 is still considered late summer, so I don’t know.”
Garlinghouse also highlighted the unique position of XRP in the U.S. regulatory landscape compared to ETH, expressing concerns about the lagging regulatory environment despite Ripple’s progress towards resolving the controversy.
“In the United States, XRP is one of the few things we can say with certainty that it is not considered a security like ETH. I don’t know what the outcome will be, but the U.S. market continues to lag behind due to the regulatory environment, even though Ripple is getting closer to the end of this controversy.”
