US SEC Cancels Closed Door Meeting

According to an update on the U.S. SEC website, the government agency has cancelled a closed-door meeting scheduled on July 18. While the meeting is not particularly focused on Ripple, the back-to-back closed-door meeting and Ripple transfer of 150 million XRP raised speculation of settlement in the community.

The Federal Register and the SEC didn’t cite any reason behind the cancellation of the secret meeting. However, market participants believe it’s likely due to the spot Ethereum ETF approval process. Some Ethereum ETFs have received preliminary approvals, with S-1 requirements completed by all issuers. The Ether ETFs are anticipated to start trading on July 23.

As CoinGape reported, the SEC was going to discuss topics including institution and settlement of injunctive actions and administrative proceedings, resolving litigation claims, and enforcement proceedings. Also, ex-SEC lawyer Marc Fagel reiterated that the parties are not seeking XRP lawsuit settlement and merely await the district court’s decision in the remedies phase.
