Will Coinbase Relist XRP?

According to an Amicus Curiae in the XRP lawsuit, Attorney John Deaton cleared the air over the Settlement calls. He claims that the only time a settlement would happen in this case will be after Judge Torres’s decision. However, it would be hard for the U.S. SEC Chair to agree that ongoing future XRP sales are not securities.

Meanwhile, the commission is facing pressure from crypto exchange Coinbase over providing regulatory clarity regarding crypto trading and dealing.

A settlement would purely depend on the SEC’s decision of considering the future sales of XRP as non securities. While a decision in Ripple’s favor would facilitate liquidity to return to the U.S.
