A crypto-skeptical commissioner of the US Securities and Exchange Commission has selected her agency due to her letter of comparison, who could finally end the Ripple Legal Saga.
The SEC and Ripple submitted a joint comparative letter in a New York court by which the injunction against Ripple and $ 75 million of the civil law in the quantity of US $ 125 million are to be placed within the cryptofire.
SEC commissioner Caroline Clenshaw picked up the pending deal in an announcement on May eighth and said that it could damage the flexibility of the supervisory authorities to maintain crypto firms in harmony and to undermine the court's decision.

“In addition to the programmatic disassembly of the SEC's programmatic disassembly program, this settlement has an infinite drawback for the investing public and undermines the role of the court within the interpretation of our securities laws,” she said.
“In the meantime, the agreement on numerous layoffs which might be the credibility of our lawyers in court who’re asked to soak up today to take legal positions against those that were taken a number of months ago.”
Under the Trump administration, the SEC slowly declined its hard attitude towards crypto firms, which were forged after the reign of the previous SEC chairman, Gary Gensler, and dismissed a growing variety of enforcement measures against crypto firms.
At the identical time, Crenshaw argues that judge Torres, if she accepts the agreement, “delete the protection of investors that we now have already won” and leave a “regulatory vacuum” and until the Crypto -Sksk Force has a regulatory framework.
“The settlement is just not in the perfect interest of investors and markets that our agency commissioned to serve and protect the agency. It arises more questions than answers.”
In August last 12 months, a judge Ripple ordered 125 million US dollars to pay after the corporate's XRP (XRP) decided that it was covered by the investors sold to institutional investors.
What's next for the Ripple case? It's not over yet
While the SEC and Ripple have agreed to an agreement, in response to ex-Federal Attorney James Filan, it continues to be not a level because there may be several steps before the long-term Legal Saga can complete.
At the start, Richter Torres has to make an indicative decision if she agrees to the comparison letter, Filan said in an evaluation on May 8 on X.
If Torres has an indicative judgment, the SEC and Ripple will ask the Court of Appeals of the Second Circle for a limited custody to Richter Torres, which, in response to Filan, is submitted to an additional application for the agreed agreement.
“After the injunction is dissolved and the funds are distributed, the SEC and Ripple will ask the Court of Appeal to reject the appeal of the SEC and Ripple against the tip. Then it should be over,” he said.
In December 2020, the SEC initially began legal steps against Ripple Labs and accused the law firm of illegally selling its token as non -registered security.
