Ripple vs SEC Verdict Could Take 2 More Months
The highly anticipated verdict of Ripple against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may take two more months to be finalized. This was revealed by attorney John Deaton who is representing thousands of XRP holders in this case. The SEC vs Ripple case has been ongoing since 2020 and has drawn considerable attention from crypto enthusiasts, developers, and firms around the world.
Civil Justice Reform Act Impacting Decision Timeline
Deaton took to Twitter to clarify that March 31 was not a deadline for Judge Torres‘ ruling as previously expected; he noted that there is no certainty when a decision will be issued but suggested it could occur within 30 or 60 days. He further explained that according to the Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990 (CJRA), which mandates U.S Court’s Director of Administrative Office to prepare semi-annual reports covering district court motions queued for ruling longer than six months, summary judgements do not fall into this category as they were only pending for over three months at most. However, he added that Judge Torres usually issues summary judgement within months after her Daubert/Expert’s decision is made.
Implications Of The Decision On Crypto Industry
The crypto community has been anxiously awaiting the court’s judgement as its implications on various aspects of cryptocurrency operations are massive. If SEC succeeds in classifying XRP as security asset then many other assets might also come under its jurisdictional power along with some aspects of crypto operations being regulated by it in future too; if it wins then Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand proposed legislation in June 2022 might also pass enabling Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)to handle crypto derivatives and trading activities in US market appropriately .
