The deadline for the cross-appeal brief in Ripple’s ongoing legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission has been officially set for April 16.

This comes after the SEC filed a filing on January 15th, arguing that the New York District Court erred in holding that XRP sold to retail investors did not qualify as securities.
