In a recent update to the ongoing Ripple case, Fox Business correspondent Eleanor Terrett disclosed on Twitter that the SEC missed a crucial deadline regarding its appeal. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was expected to submit its opening brief by October 16, but as of today, October 18, no filing has been made. This delay could mark a pivotal moment in the legal battle between the SEC and Ripple, possibly indicating challenges within the SECâs strategy to appeal the earlier ruling. A prior U.S. court decision had determined that XRP tokens sold on secondary markets were not classified as securitiesâa landmark victory for Ripple that may influence the regulatory landscape for other digital assets.
The SEC has yet to provide an explanation for missing the deadline, though speculation suggests the agency may be bogged down by other pressing responsibilities. Terrett further pointed out that staffing shortages within the SEC could be contributing to the delays. The situation may cause further postponements in the Ripple case proceedings, as the court will now decide whether to dismiss the appeal altogether or grant the SEC additional time to file its brief.
This recent development not only raises questions about the SECâs preparedness but could also be a critical turning point for Ripple and the broader cryptocurrency industry. A dismissal would solidify the prior ruling, potentially easing regulatory concerns for other projects facing scrutiny over whether their tokens qualify as securities. The lack of timely action from the SEC leaves much to be speculated about the future trajectory of this high-profile case.
