Ripple Chairman Meets SEC Chair as Crypto Industry Awaits Resolution

Ripple’s executive chairman, Chris Larsen, will meet SEC Chair Paul Atkins on May 2, 2025, in a pivotal move for the crypto industry. This meeting is seen by many as a potential turning point for the long-standing legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC regarding XRP. If this meeting leads to progress towards an agreement, it could bring a much-needed clarity to the situation surrounding XRP’s classification and potentially set the stage for future regulatory guidelines for crypto in the US. 2025 is particularly significant as it coincides with anticipated SEC approval of XRP ETF.
