Ripple’s SEC Tango: Babies, Not Breakups!

TL;DR

  • James Murphy, a legal sage, hints that Ripple’s dance with the SEC might drag on as they haggle over ruling reversals. πŸ”„

  • Jeremy Hogan, attorney extraordinaire, predicts a settlement, not a swift exit, for Ripple’s legal waltz. 🀝

Is Ripple Courting a Favorable Fate?

The US Securities and Exchange Commission, once a dragon to digital assets, has softened under new command. πŸ‰β†’πŸ‡ Recently, it’s been dismissing crypto lawsuits like unwanted dinner invitations, but Ripple’s case? Still going strong, four years and counting! πŸ•°οΈ

James Murphy, known in the X-sphere as MetaLawMan, shares his whimsical theory: Ripple’s playing hardball to get the SEC to erase Judge Torres’ decisions. 🎯

Last summer, a ruling declared Ripple guilty of some mischief, with a $125 million fineβ€”a bargain compared to the SEC’s initial $2 billion demand! πŸ’°β†’πŸ’Έ The XRP army and Ripple itself celebrated this as a triumph. πŸŽ‰

Murphy calls this a “great” outcome for XRP holders but warns it’s a reputational blemish for Ripple. πŸŒŸβ†’πŸŒ§οΈ “Especially if they’re eyeing future securities offerings or an IPO. The SEC would’ve grabbed a $125 million settlement without a second thought,” he quips. πŸ’­

“This is particularly true if Ripple is considering a future exempt securities offering or IPO. I believe the SEC would have accepted a settlement – where both sides dismiss their appeals and the SEC takes the $125 million penalty – in a heartbeat,” the expert added.

β€˜Ripple and the SEC: A Complicated Love Story’

Enter Jeremy Hogan, another legal mind, who likens the Ripple-SEC saga to a complex romance, destined for a settlement, not a swift divorce. πŸ’‘

“The SEC broke up with Coinbase after a couple dates. Ripple and the SEC live together and have a baby,” he jests. πŸ‘Ά

Eleanor Terrett, a Fox Business scribe, concurs, describing the Ripple lawsuit as “more procedurally complex” than Coinbase’s, thanks to Judge Torres’ $125 million penalty. She notes the judge can keep an eye on things until August 7, ensuring the order is obeyed. πŸ‘€
