In an X post on Friday,<\/a> December 15,\u00a0 Ripple shared the predictions of Alderoty on policy and US regulations in 2024. The post included three bold forecasts by the company\u2019s chief legal officer, which generally present a dual outlook on the crypto space. Firstly, Alderoty expects the ongoing court case between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to come to its conclusion in the new year.\u00a0<\/p>\n #2024Predictions<\/a> \u2014 It\u2019s that time of year again and we’ve asked leaders at Ripple to weigh in on what they think 2024 holds. <\/p>\n Our Chief Legal Officer @s_alderoty<\/a> kicks us off with three bold outlooks on policy and U.S. crypto regulation for 2024. pic.twitter.com\/7pcLmk2qPR<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ripple (@Ripple) December 15, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n The blockchain payment firm already scored a \u201cmassive\u201d partial victory<\/a> over the US regulators when Judge Analisa Torress ruled that programmatic sales of XRP do not qualify as a security offering.\u00a0While many still expect the SEC to still challenge this decision in the Court of Appeals following a final judgment, Alderoty projects the 3-year legal tussle,<\/a> which he described as a \u201cmisguided lawsuit\u201d by the SEC, will finally come to an end.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, he predicts the commission will continue with its current enforcement action on key players in the crypto space.
