The ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs Inc. and a group of XRP investors led by Vladi Zakinov is set to reach a pivotal moment on January 11, 2024, as both parties prepare for a significant court hearing. This date marks a crucial phase in a case that could have potentially far-reaching implications for Ripple and XRP.
The upcoming hearing is about the “Motion to Approve the Form and Manner of Class Notice,” which is a procedural step critical for ensuring that all potential class members in this lawsuit are adequately and fairly informed about the case, their rights, and the actions they might need to take.
The court’s role in approving the form and manner of the notice is to ensure that it is clear, concise, and effective in reaching all class members. This notice is a crucial step in ensuring that the legal process is fair and transparent to all parties involved.
Bill Morgan, a lawyer active within the XRP community, expressed his intention to join the hearing and offer comments. He noted the contrasting support dynamics within the XRP holder community, with a small faction supporting Zakinov’s stance against Ripple and a significantly larger group aligning with Ripple.
Eight months ago, the class led by Zakinov was granted class status in the lawsuit against Ripple Labs. This class certification, confirmed by Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton, set the stage for a class action that accuses Ripple of selling XRP as an unregistered security. Lead plaintiff Vladi Zakinov seeks to represent a class of XRP owners who allege that XRP is a security issued by Ripple.
The January 11 hearing is not just a routine procedural step. It’s a pivotal event that will set the stage for another crucial battle for Ripple. The trial is expected to begin on April 15, 2024.
At press time, XRP traded at $0.57137.
