Reports from U.Today claim that both parties submitted a joint letter stating that no agreement has been reached as of last week. The letter also disclosed that the discovery stage of the case should end on the 18th of August. 

The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple after claiming that the US-based technology company sold its tokens to investors without enrolling it as a security.
