A federal judge has rejected the $50 million settlement agreement between the SEC and Ripple, prolonging their legal battle.
Judge Torres denied the motion for an indicative ruling, citing procedural issues, and stated that relief from judgment should be only in exceptional circumstances.
The SEC and Ripple did not address the heavy burden needed to vacate the injunction properly, leading to the rejection of their joint request.
Both parties are expected to revisit the issue in court as they still aim to resolve the case, although the settlement agreement has been dismissed for now.
