I can't comment specifically on that, Brad Garlinghouse, chief executive of Ripple Labs, said in an interview Wednesday when asked about possible settlement talks with the Securities Exchange Commission. Suffice it to say that the judge's ruling is clear, and we expect it to be resolved soon, but we can't predict when the judge will make a ruling. A spokesperson for the Securities Exchange Commission, which lists a "closed meeting" scheduled for July 18 on its website, declined to comment. Zaheer Ebtikar, founder of crypto fund Split Capital, said investors and traders are waiting for conclusions on the status of XRP tokens. Everything about XRP is about regulation.
