Analysis: The legal dispute between the SEC and Ripple may be resolved before April or May

ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptodnes, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed his strong desire to work with the new leadership of the SEC, which has sparked speculation in the industry about the possibility of the lawsuit between the SEC and Ripple being dismissed or settled.

Legal analyst Jeremy Hogan stated that the case might be resolved by April or May, although procedural requirements could extend the timeline. Under the current administration's leadership, the SEC is expected to make a final push before the leadership transition. With the deadline for submitting opening statements set for January 15, the agency may attempt to influence the direction of the case.

However, industry insiders anticipate that the incoming pro-crypto leadership is expected to create a more favorable environment for Ripple, and a positive outcome could pave the way for the approval of an XRP ETF.
