Amid the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC, the US regulator has recently announced an upcoming closed-door meeting with the crypto firm, which is expected to take place at the end of the month.
SEC Upcoming Closed Door Meeting With Ripple
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) announcement started off with the time and date of the upcoming closed-door meeting which is expected to take place on Thursday, November 30, 2023, at approximately 2:15 p.m.
According to the notice, the meeting will be held via remote means or at the commission’s headquarters in Washington, DC. “The meeting will be held via remote means and/or at the Commission’s headquarters, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549,” the announcement stated.
The upcoming meeting with Ripple will see several subject matters being discussed and handled.

The influencer recently took to her X (formerly Twitter) handle to share her optimism about the upcoming meeting. She highlighted that the SEC has issued another closed meeting, and hopefully, a settlement is imminent.
“Another closed meeting from the SEC on November 30, 2023. Hopefully there is a settlement incoming soon.”Â
