#XRPCommunity #XRP This week in Congress and crypto from @RonwHammond

[Ron Hammond @RonwHammond]

1) This week in Congress and crypto: This is the last "quiet" week in DC, but Congress has a full slate ahead of them when they return in September, most notably market structure legislation which now sits in the Senate. Lot of dynamics at play so here's what to watch ahead for:

@amcunningx4 Indeed it is.

#XRPCommunity #SECGov v. #Ripple #XRP BREAKING: Judge Torres has denied the parties’ Motion for an Indicative Ruling.

[James K. Filan 🇺🇸🇮🇪 @FilanLaw]

#XRPCommunity #SECGov v. #Ripple #XRP @Ripple has filed a Supplemental Letter in support of the Motion for an Indicative Ruling.

[James K. Filan 🇺🇸🇮🇪 @FilanLaw]

#XRPCommunity #SECGov v. #Ripple #XRP In light of the pending motion for an indicative ruling, the parties have requested that the Second Circuit continue to hold the appeals in abeyance, with the @SECGov to file a status report by August 15, 2025.

#XRPCommunity #SECGov v. #Ripple #XRP The parties have renewed their request for an indicative ruling.

[James K. Filan 🇺🇸🇮🇪 @FilanLaw]

#XRPCommunity #SECGov v. #Ripple #XRP Judge Torres has denied the parties’ motion for an indicative ruling. “If jurisdiction were restored to this Court, the Court would deny the parties’ motion as procedurally improper.”

[James K. Filan 🇺🇸🇮🇪 @FilanLaw]

Next Steps: Judge Torres needs to provide an indicative ruling as to whether the Court would: (1) dissolve the injunction and release the escrow with $50 million going to the SEC and the balance back to Ripple; (2) if Judge Torres provides the indicative ruling, the SEC and Ripple will ask the Second Circuit for a limited remand back to Judge Torres to ask for the relief described above; (3) upon the granting of the remand, the SEC and Ripple will file a motion with Judge Torres asking for the relief described above; (4) after the injunction is dissolved and the funds distributed, the SEC and Ripple will ask the Court of Appeals to dismiss the SEC’s appeal and Ripple’s cross-appeal. Then it will be over.
