XRP Lawsuit News: Is the SEC About to Drop the Ripple Case? Legal Expert Weighs In

The ongoing legal battle between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs has been one of the most talked-about topics in the cryptocurrency world. Recently, there have been hints that the SEC may pause its lawsuit against Ripple, raising questions about the future of the case and XRP’s market performance.

Legal experts like former SEC attorney Marc Fagel have expressed uncertainty about the future of the SEC vs. Ripple case. Fagel pointed out that while it’s unlikely the SEC will drop the case entirely, settling or pausing the case could be a possible outcome. The court has already ruled that Ripple violated the law, and the company was penalized with a $125 million fine, meaning that dropping the case entirely would be unlikely.

“It’s hard to predict, as this is largely unprecedented; SEC enforcement is historically apolitical, and reversing course an ongoing enforcement action due to a political change is something new and sets a terrible precedent. But we’re clearly heading in that direction,” Fagel wrote.

SEC and Binance Case Pause

A development that could possibly affect the Ripple case is the recent joint motion filed by the SEC and Binance to pause their legal case for 60 days. The pause request cites the formation of the SEC’s new crypto task force, which aims to bring clarity to the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies.

The SEC and Binance explained that this task force’s work could help resolve the case, hinting that the legal proceedings may be delayed, paused, or even dropped entirely. This has led to speculation that similar motions could be filed in the future, possibly pausing or even dismissing the SEC’s case against Ripple.
