The SEC v. Ripple Case: Investor Attitude Delivers $0.37

Investors were left to consider the most recent court filings since there were no updates from the ongoing SEC v. Ripple lawsuit to affect them.

The parties submitted their objections to the omnibus motions to seal on Monday. Notably, the Defendants kept concentrating on the records pertaining to the William Hinman speech, putting the possibility of a settlement on the table.

The SEC is steadfast in its effort to keep the substance of the records linked to the William Hinman speech out of the public eye, and these materials remain crucial to the case.

Investors are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the Summary Judgment Reply papers and the document redactions relating to the William Hinman address. There are still two court dates, but the rulings might be made at any moment.

Daubert Motions must be filed by the parties on January 13 and opposition to non-party motions to seal must be filed by both parties and non-parties on January 18, which was the original deadline.

While there will be interest in the files, the decisions on the redactions relating to the Hinman speech and the Summary Judgment Reply brief might be crucial. A settlement can result from a decision that the SEC cannot safeguard the information included in the records relating to the Hinman speech.

Investors should keep an eye on the SEC v. Ripple case developments today, as they might significantly influence the result, even though the overall crypto market will offer direction. However, XRP would be in the hands of the larger crypto market if there were no SEC v. Ripple news.

Initial unemployment claims and the US CPI Report will be of importance later today. A hotter-than-expected CPI Report and a decline in initial applications for unemployment benefits to below 200k would put the buyer's appetite to the test.
