币界网报道：Ripple's legal battle with the U.S. SEC faces a prolonged delay as the regulator's appeal in the high-profile case has been paused until August 15, 2025, according to court filings. The pause follows the SEC's recent request to stay proceedings pending its appeal of Judge Analisa Torres' July ruling that determined XRP is not a security when sold to retail investors. While the SEC argues the appeal raises "substantial grounds for difference of opinion," Ripple maintains the ruling was correct and opposes the stay. The extended timeline suggests the case may not reach final resolution before 2026, creating continued uncertainty for XRP and the broader crypto industry regarding regulatory clarity. Legal experts note the delay could impact how other crypto firms approach SEC enforcement actions during this interim period.
