The SEC has withdrawn numerous proceedings against cryptographic societies in recent weeks. These include Coinbase, Gemini, Robinhood, Uniswap Labs, Kraken and Opensea. The security dog ​​of securities and consensys also concluded an agreement to reject the case of application of securities concerning Metamask.

As for Binance, the Crypto Society and the SEC have filed a joint request to suspend their current dispute for 60 days. The regulator also interrupted his trial for civil fraud against Justin Sun, the two parties would have requested a resolution.

However, the Sec-Ripple case remains unresolved, with delayed settlement talks due to the current negotiations on the terms of the Court of August decision, which Ordered Ripple to pay a fine of $ 125 million and imposed a permanent injunction preventing the company from selling XRP to institutional investors.

Ripple argue that if the dry is new Leadership reconsiders its application approach and gives other cryptographic companies a new start, it should not have to accept penalties according to past regulatory uncertainty.

Since there is no clear precedent to manage such a situation, the resolution takes more time than expected.

Legal experts previously offered comparable prospects.

In a shared statement this month, James Murphy, a renowned crypto lawyer, hypothesized that the delay may not be only due to the dry. He suggested that Ripple is actively negotiating with the dry to obtain certain parts of the August decision of the Torres judge canceled or modified.

According to Murphy, although the decision was largely considered a victory for XRP holders, it had two problematic elements for Ripple, including violations of securities law (institutional sales) and the injunction. These factors could prevent Ripple from executing future plans, such as the beginnings of the public market.

“I believe that the SEC would have accepted a settlement – where the two parties reject their calls and the SEC underwent the penalty of $ 125 million – at a heart rate,” said Murphy. “So it is logical (for me at least) that Ripple could negotiate for a better deal than that.”
