The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to pursue an appeal in its case against Ripple, with a deadline of January 15 to file an appeal brief. The SEC surprised the crypto community when it appealed a final ruling in August, and it requested an extension to the deadline for filing its main brief. The XRP community has questioned the necessity of the brief, given the impending change in SEC leadership after the deadline. Legal expert Jeremy Hogan believes the SEC will file the brief but notes that it will not determine the outcome of the case. Hogan expects the SEC to eventually settle with Ripple, and market commentators predict that a settlement could boost XRP's price.
