Golden Finance reported that when asked about possible settlement talks with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in an interview on Wednesday, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, said that I can't comment specifically on this. It can be said that the judge's ruling is very clear, and we look forward to a resolution soon, but it is impossible to predict when the judge will make a ruling. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website lists a "closed-door meeting" scheduled for July 18, and an SEC spokesman declined to comment. Zaheer Ebtikar, founder of the crypto fund Split Capital, said that investors and traders are waiting for a conclusion on the status of the XRP token. Everything about XRP is about regulation.
