The SEC has requested a 60-day extension in the Ripple appeal case, with the next update scheduled for August 15.
Both parties previously agreed to a hold on appellate activity to seek an indicative ruling from the District Court.
The SEC's filing aims to maintain the case in abeyance to allow time for finalizing a proposed resolution.
The proposed resolution includes vacating the permanent injunction on Ripple's institutional sales and reducing the financial penalty from $125 million to $50 million.
The Second Circuit is overseeing the case and required a progress update by June 16, leading to the current extension request.
The outcome of the appeal hinges on whether the District Court supports the adjustments outlined in the agreement between the parties.
If approved, the revised terms would significantly impact the long-standing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC.
The Ripple case is closely monitored by the crypto community, including XRP holders, legal experts, and stakeholders, for insights into regulatory implications and precedent.
