Ripple Labs has requested an April 16, 2025 deadline to file its cross-appeal brief in its ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The request, filed on January 23, 2025, with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, is supported by Ripple's CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen. Ripple's legal team, including Michael Kellogg, submitted the filing. This procedural move follows the SEC's appeal of a July 2023 ruling by Judge Analisa Torres of the New York District Court, which declared XRP retail sales were not securities, though institutional sales were found to have violated securities laws. The case, which began in December 2020, has significant implications for the cryptocurrency industry and investor protections. Market observers are speculating on whether the SEC might withdraw its appeal before Ripple's filing. The SEC has recently launched a crypto task force to address regulatory challenges in the sector.
