Recent speculation within the XRP community pointed to a possible delay in the SEC vs Ripple case resolution. Attorney Bill Morgan has commented on these rumors, debunking claims of a potential 2026 postponement.
Rumors of Delay
After a post went viral, many began to speculate that a final decision might only arrive in late 2026. However, pro-XRP attorney Bill Morgan stated that this will not happen unless Judge Torres rejects the current joint request.
Likelihood of Resolution
Morgan believes the better outcome is likely to be that both sides will accept the summary judgment, penalty, and permanent injunction. While there is a small chance the settlement could break down, it is not very likely. Former SEC regional director Marc Fagel noted that it is currently hard to determine if the judge will alter her decision, but predictions of delays extending into 2026 appear unfounded.
XRP Community Expectations
The XRP community is left wondering whether Judge Torres might change any part of her previous decision. This uncertainty has led to predictions of a lengthy legal process, yet Morgan's comments effectively dismissed those assumptions.
Recent expert comments confirm that expectations of a delay in the SEC vs Ripple case resolution until 2026 are exaggerated. The court process continues, and a decision is anticipated soon.
