The ongoing case between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to draw attention in the crypto world. There are various rumors regarding a potential resolution by mid-August 2025.
Settlement Rumors
According to social media posts, there is a 70–90% chance that Ripple and the SEC will reach a settlement by August 15, 2025, referencing Judge Analisa Torres’ June 26 ruling that reportedly weakened the SEC's position.
Former SEC Attorney's Opinion
Former SEC attorney Marc Fagel noted that the SEC typically takes 1–2 months to prepare enforcement recommendations after key rulings. These recommendations must then be presented for a vote by SEC commissioners. He emphasized that there are no internal deadlines forcing a quick resolution or appeal withdrawal.
General Case Prospects
Fagel also clarified that dismissing a pending case requires a commissioner's vote. Currently, both Ripple and the SEC are expected to submit a joint status update by August 15. Caution is advised regarding rumors, as there is no guarantee the case will be resolved by this date.
Rumors of a possible settlement in the Ripple vs. SEC case fuel interest in XRP; however, experts remind the need for careful consideration of rumors and awaiting official statements.
