The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reportedly considering whether to accept Ripple's request to withdraw its appeal in the ongoing legal battle, according to UToday. This internal discussion could pave the way for the complete termination of the SEC-Ripple lawsuit if the SEC agrees before the August 15th deadline. Ripple initially withdrew its appeal in late June, as reported by cryptonewsterminal. This move signaled a potential desire to move beyond the protracted legal proceedings. A withdrawal acceptance from the SEC would effectively end all active litigation between the two parties. The outcome of the SEC's review is highly anticipated by the cryptocurrency community, as it could significantly impact the regulatory landscape for digital assets. A final resolution would provide clarity for Ripple and the broader XRP ecosystem. ```
