Some says that the lawsuit will be dropped or that there will be a settlement before the actual lawsuit starts (22nd of February).
Who are those some? do they have basis for it? AFAIK, SEC won't deal with any negotiations with XRP/Ripple and associates.
Some say that that the lawsuit might last months or even years.
Very much likely.
What do you think?
Please let me know!
I don't follow this lawsuit saga of SEC to XRP but it's possible that it will take a lot of time before this ends. And that kind of ending can be a bitter sweet ending for XRP and a victory for SEC or a victory for Ripple.
