Cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett has shared new insights into the ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to Terrett, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, provided her with an update on the appeals timeline.
The SEC is expected to file Form C, which will outline its appeal plans, by tomorrow. Ripple will then have 14 days to respond with its own Form C, detailing its cross-appeal. Both parties will subsequently agree on a briefing schedule.
Alderoty anticipates that the SEC will take the full 90 days to file its first brief, which will present its legal arguments in detail. Ripple will then have an opportunity to respond and file its own brief.
The entire briefing process is estimated to extend through July 2025. This timeline suggests that the final resolution of the Ripple-SEC case could be delayed into the middle of next year.
