Stuart Alderoty, the Chief Legal Officer (CLO) of Ripple (XRP), stated on the 14th (local time) via X (formerly Twitter) that "with Gary Gensler, the Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), resigning on January 20th (local time), the war with the crypto industry will also end," adding that "Ripple requested an extension for submitting appeal documents to the SEC, but the SEC refused."

Ripple and the SEC have been in a legal battle over unregistered securities sales since December 2020. In August 2024, a U.S. court ordered Ripple to pay a penalty of $125 million in the first trial, and the SEC appealed. Meanwhile, January 15th was the deadline for the SEC's opening brief submission.
