Notably, Judge Phyllis Hamilton recently rolled out a July 26 deadline for the parties to file a notice revealing whether they seek to continue the exclusion of four experts’ testimony. Simultaneously, the Zakinov vs. Ripple Labs case was referred to Magistrate Judge Robert Illman for resolution.

However, it’s worth mentioning that Judge Analisa Torres’ final judgment still looms, with the crypto community expecting positive XRP news with Ripple’s lawsuit’s conclusion. Meanwhile, the coin soared remarkably in tandem with the buying pressure brought by the abovementioned transactions.
