The released document of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit clears the confusion of the deadline. According to the docket sheet, the notice of appeal filed by the SEC was docketed on October 4 under 24-2648.
Everything Changed
The appearance of this docket sheet changes everything that the community was thinking. The excitement of the XRP community can be seen on the chart. The token surged by around 4% as the date was about to change. Most people thought that the SEC had until 23:59 of October 16 to submit the Form C. As they did not see any updates coming, they started celebrating thinking the due date crossed and now the SEC lost its chance to appeal. However, according to the docket document, the SEC has until 23:59 of October 18 for this submission.
As this docket sheet hit the internet, the price of XRP token plummeted more than 1% instantly. It is currently trading at $0.5576.
The Timeline
The Deadline for the SEC to submit its Form C to provide details of the rulings it wants to challenge is October 18. After 7 days of its submission, Ripple will file its Form C for the cross appeal. Once both parties have submitted this document, they will have to agree for a briefing schedule. This will then give the SEC another 90 days to file its opening brief with its legal argument.
If the SEC files its Form C, this case is going to be extended towards mid of 2025.
We will keep an eye out and keep updating you on the latest developments.
