“A settlement between Ripple and the SEC is unlikely to occur before July 14. [The] SEC’s internal review process for settlements… usually takes one to two months to complete.

Expert analysis suggests the delays in Ripple’s settlement could influence future SEC actions. Historical cases indicate the potential shaping of strategies for payments and Layer 1 protocols.
