The trajectory of the Ripple SEC lawsuit is changing with every passing day, and the latest developments are a cause of excitement and bewilderment.
Discrepancy Over Appeal Filing Dates Fuels Uncertainty in Ripple SEC Lawsuit
One of the complicating elements has been the Commission's apparent deviant position regarding its filing of Form C, which certain quarters regarded as a blunder on the part of the regulator.
To counter the prevalent speculation that the SEC had overstepped its filing window, the agencyâs representative stated that the appeal is "proceeding normally" and all necessary submissions will be made shortly.
This information was relayed by the journalist Eleanor Terrett from Fox Business where she referred to the assurance by the official that the situation was normal. Even so, many analysts still find it strange why the SEC did what it did considering its past history of making applications on time.
According to the SEC notice of appeal, the agency was on October 2, 2024, that the SEC filed its notice of appeal. Even so, the case was not yet officially registered in the system until October 4. This led to confusion as to whether the SEC had to file Form C by October 16 or could push that date back to October 18.

Ripple Labsâ Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, again was non-committal. He said that the SEC may have been strategic and chose to let the window for filing an appeal lapse. He opined that such an approach would be outlandish.
The response from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse to the SEC update included an element of sarcasm in that the phrase "proceeding normally" was ironic in view of the commissionâs pattern of changing the rules as the case goes on.
Looking ahead, Ripple is preparing to respond to the SECâs arguments, with the full briefing process expected to last until July 2025.
