The XRP community is eagerly anticipating a potential settlement between Ripple and the SEC, which could provide regulatory clarity for XRP. Judge Analisa Torres has ordered both parties to engage in a physical settlement discussion before April 16, 2024. This development comes after rumors of a possible settlement have circulated in recent weeks. The prolonged legal battle has taken a toll on the community, Ripple, and XRP prices. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has expressed how the case has hindered development, adoption, and partnerships, as well as cost the company significant legal fees. While Ripple has been confident in winning the case, the SEC has suffered setbacks, including a ruling that Ripple’s sale of XRP to consumers did not violate securities laws. The SEC’s motion to file an interlocutory appeal was also denied. Legal experts believe the SEC is likely to lose the case and may be inclined to settle to save face and secure some financial gain. However, the SEC has not shown any intention to settle outside of court thus far. Ripple, on the other hand, may be tempted to pursue a court ruling to establish regulatory clarity for Bitcoin and XRP. However, there is no guarantee of victory, and the case could continue for several more years, resulting in further losses for Ripple and its native token. Despite expressing openness to a settlement in the past, Garlinghouse has recently indicated that it may not be a viable option.
