Amid the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC, the US regulator has recently announced an upcoming closed-door meeting with the crypto firm, which is expected to take place at the end of the month.
SEC Upcoming Closed Door Meeting With Ripple
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) announcement started off with the time and date of the upcoming closed-door meeting which is expected to take place on Thursday, November 30, 2023, at approximately 2:15 p.m.
According to the notice, the meeting will be held via remote means or at the commission’s headquarters in Washington, DC. “The meeting will be held via remote means and/or at the Commission’s headquarters, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549,” the announcement stated.
The upcoming meeting with Ripple will see several subject matters being discussed and handled. These include institution and settlement of injunctive actions, institution and settlement of administrative proceedings, resolution of litigation claims, matters related to litigation, and other matters relating to examinations and enforcement proceedings.
Furthermore, several prominent positions from the US regulator are expected to attend the upcoming event. These include top SEC commissioners, Counsel to the Commissioners, the Secretary to the Commission, recording secretaries, and Certain staff members.
The SEC’s legal battle with Ripple has been going on for over two years now. Although the SEC has not formally stated its desire to resolve the drawn-out battle with Ripple, hopefully, there will be a change in the upcoming meeting.

The influencer recently took to her X (formerly Twitter) handle to share her optimism about the upcoming meeting. She highlighted that the SEC has issued another closed meeting, and hopefully, a settlement is imminent.
“Another closed meeting from the SEC on November 30, 2023. Hopefully there is a settlement incoming soon.”
