US SEC Preparing for Opening Brief in Ripple Case Appeal

Meanwhile, US SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and Chief Litigation Counsel Jorge Tenreiro to likely preparing to file an opening brief in the XRP lawsuit as the January 15 deadline approaches.

As CoinGape reported, the SEC should be deliberating a last-minute filing related to appeals in Ripple Vs SEC case before pro-crypto Paul Atkins takes over. This could leave Ripple with challenges, while the XRP community awaits positive developments including XRP ETF launch and XRP price rally.

If the lawsuit gets dismissed, it will open doors for XPP ETF approval. The filings by several issuers including Bitwise, Canary Capital and 21Shares remained on the table for months. Moreover, XRP price will cross $10 as institutional and retail investors flock to invest in the asset with legal clarity.

XRP price jumped more than 1% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $2.45. The 24-hour low and high are $2.43 and $2.50, respectively. However, the trading volume has decreased by 15% in the last 24 hours, indicating a decline in interest among traders.

XRP price prediction by CoinGape signals rally to $15 soon as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse welcomes incoming pro-crypto US Congress.
