Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are seeking a ruling from Judge Analisa Torres using Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Rule 60(b) allows courts to change or annul a final judgment under exceptional circumstances.
Last year, Ripple was fined $125 million and barred from selling XRP to specific buyers for violating U.S. securities laws. Both parties are now trying to settle the case and are requesting the court to lift the restrictions on Ripple’s XRP sales and release the escrowed funds.
A ruling in favor of this motion would lead to the appeals court sending the case back to Judge Torres for final approval.
Ripple’s plans for an IPO are hindered by the current injunction against selling XRP to certain parties. This restriction is a major obstacle for Ripple’s fundraising efforts, including any future Initial Public Offering (IPO) or investment opportunities they might pursue.
Ripple believes that lifting the injunction under Rule 60(b) is crucial for their business plans. If successful, Ripple would be able to resume its operations fully and work towards launching an IPO or similar offerings in the future.
