Ripple's Stance in the Dispute
Ripple's chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, mentioned that his team proposed to postpone the filing of the appeal, but the SEC declined. Nevertheless, Ripple remains confident in its position during the appeal.
Reaction of Ripple's Leadership
CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed that the SEC's refusal to delay the appeal was anticipated. He also noted that the company looks forward to collaborating with the new pro-crypto administration.
Changes in SEC Leadership
Last month, Paul Atkins, known for his libertarian views, was appointed to head the SEC. His arrival is expected to alter the agency's approach to cryptocurrency regulation. The departure of current SEC chair Gary Gensler may also influence the commission's future actions.
