Ripple case to Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn.9203 Total views56 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksThe next phase of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) v. Ripple case is set to move forward, as Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York filed paperwork on July 17 referring the case to Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn.


First reported by journalist Eleanor Terrett, the court issued an “amended order of reference to a Magistrate,” transferring judiciary oversight of the case to the magistrate’s office.NEW: District Judge Torres has referred the @Ripple case to Magistrate Judge Netburn for General Pretrial (includes scheduling, discovery, non-dispositive pre-trial motions and settlement). pic.twitter.com/EyrA3flpXC— Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) July 17, 2023


The single-page document, which was viewed by Cointelegraph, indicates that the next step will be general pretrial. This stage usually entails discovery and a short window to raise objections.


General pretrial is the most likely portion of the proceedings for a settlement to occur. As Cointelegraph recently reported, experts believe that it’s unlikely the SEC will appeal the previous week"s rulings by Torres.

In a partial victory for Ripple on July 13, Torres ruled to dismiss the allegation that Ripple broke the law by posting its XRP (XRP) token on public exchanges. This has been taken to mean that XRP is not a security, with implications for the crypto market as a whole.


Remaining, however, are accusations that XRP was sold as a security when Ripple sold it directly to investors via a marketing scheme that highlighted several aspects of XRP that, per the SEC, could lead investors to view it as a security.


Netburn will oversee this ensuing phase, where, as some experts predict, the SEC might be tempted to allow Ripple to settle the case.


Netburn has been involved in the case throughout its existence, including weighing in on several previous motions. Netburn issued the order to release the much-anticipated “Hinman documents,” a collection of SEC files that included text from a speech given by then-Director William Hinman in 2018, which were widely thought to be something akin to a smoking gun.


While the release of the documents may not have had the desired impact in the case the cryptocurrency community had outwardly hoped for, the resulting partial victory for Ripple has significantly impacted overall cryptocurrency sentiment.


Alongside Netburn’s history of challenging the SEC’s assertions in the case, there’s plenty of reason to believe the positive sentiment will carry through. At the time of publication, XRP is trading at $0.72, down from last week"s peak but still up over 56% since July 13. # Cryptocurrencies# Altcoin# Ripple# SEC# XRP# United States# Court# RegulationAdd reactionAdd reactionRelated NewsCan artificial intelligence prevent the next financial crisis?5 peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms for borrowers and lenders7 payment gateways for fast online transactionsXRP ruling a ‘watershed moment,’ but we’re not out of the woods yet — LawyersIt’s time for the SEC to settle with Coinbase and RippleSEC could be waiting ‘years’ to file appeal in Ripple case — Brad Garlinghouse
