TechFlow News — On January 5, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed strong interest in working with the new leadership at the SEC, sparking industry speculation that the ongoing litigation between the SEC and Ripple may be dismissed or settled.
Legal analyst Jeremy Hogan suggested the case could be resolved by April or May, although procedural requirements might extend the timeline. Under the current administration, the SEC is expected to make a final push before leadership transitions. With the deadline for submitting opening statements set for January 15, the agency may attempt to influence the direction of the case. However, industry observers anticipate that the incoming crypto-friendly leadership will create a more favorable environment for Ripple, and a positive outcome could pave the way for the approval of an XRP ETF.
