The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to hold its first closed meeting post-Gary Gensler era, focusing on the resolution of various legal matters, including potential cryptocurrency enforcement actions.

With Commissioner Mark Uyeda recently taking over as the acting chairman, speculation is rife that the agency may freeze or drop enforcement actions against major crypto players, such as Ripple.

Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s top lawyer, had previously expressed his expectations for the new administration to drop the ongoing appeal case against the company. A decision in this case could have significant implications for the crypto industry.
