Big Announcements Ahead?

John Deaton, the attorney representng th XRP token holder community, is confident there will not be a settlement announcement with the US SEC. This is because a settlement can only be triggered if there are huge developments in the Coinbase Vs SEC lawsuit. Besides this, the attorney addressed the possibility of a Ripple IPO announcement, which he had rejected because the IPO application comes under the SEC’s purview.

“The SEC isn’t going to approve an IPO when they’re seeking a permanent injunction against Ripple related to future institutional sales of XRP during the remedies phase of the litigation, as well as seeking a permanent injunction against the CEO and Chairman of the Board, if they win at trial.”

When the US SEC sued Coinbase in June 2023, the crypto community wondered how the agency could have approved the exchange’s IPO when it found fault with its operation as an unregistered broker, exchange, and clearing agency.
