Next Steps: Judge Torres needs to provide an indicative ruling as to whether the Court would: (1) dissolve the injunction and release the escrow with $50 million going to the SEC and the balance back to Ripple; (2) if Judge Torres provides the indicative ruling, the SEC and Ripple will ask the Second Circuit for a limited remand back to Judge Torres to ask for the relief described above; (3) upon the granting of the remand, the SEC and Ripple will file a motion with Judge Torres asking for the relief described above; (4) after the injunction is dissolved and the funds distributed, the SEC and Ripple will ask the Court of Appeals to dismiss the SECโ€™s appeal and Rippleโ€™s cross-appeal. Then it will be over.
