SEC To Opt For Settlement?

Pro crypto attorney, James Murphy aka MetaLawMan stated that there are several options that US SEC can consider. However, he expects that the commission might file a request for an interlocutory appeal within the next 2 weeks.

He highlighted that this can happen as no final judgment has been presented yet. However, the SEC didn’t have the unilateral right to appeal as of now. A request by the commission would require permission from Judge Analisa Torres and the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in order to move ahead with an interlocutory appeal.

As per the attorney, there is no such specific deadline for the initial request but it needs to be done promptly. He suggests that if Judge Torres agrees to the request then the commission would get the 10 days to head towards the 2nd circuit. Read More XRP News Here…
