Ripple case anticipated to finish in mid-December
According to the defense attorney James K. Filan, Ripple Labs submitted a request for summary judgment on September 18. Summary judgment is a procedure in the law in which the court makes a final decision based on the supplied facts rather than ordering a trial. A decision about whether or not XRP is a security is anticipated to be made by the middle of December. Investor opinion toward the longer-term possibilities for XRP may be strengthening due to the excitement around the development. Crypto trading expert Michaël van de Poppe noted that another big breakout could be in the cards for altcoins such as XRP; he said: In the most recent report, Ripple’s general counsel, Stuart Alderoty, has indicated that they are “confident” and that this lawsuit, which has been going on since December 2020, maybe getting close to being resolved. Alderoty has been vociferous about the case on Twitter. He said that the SEC has failed to satisfy a single prong of the Supreme Court’s Howey test.” The Howey Test is how regulators determine whether or not an asset is a security.
