SEC vs. Ripple final ruling likely on this date

The XRP army community of the altcoin’s holders are awaiting the final verdict in the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple. The US financial regulators lawsuit against payment giant Ripple has dragged on since 2020. 

The SEC argues that Ripple and its executives violated US Securities laws by engaging in the sale of XRP. The payment giant and its defense team are arguing the lack of a “fair notice” and that the said asset (XRP) is not a security.

An XRP community member Ashley Prosper commented on the date of the final verdict, analyzing the likely dates when Judge Analisa Torres would rule. From the expert’s list, two likely dates for the verdict in June are June 5, and June 21. Another likely date is six months from the filing of the summary judgment briefings, on July 2. The final date that the XRP Army member is watching is July 4. 

The expert has therefore predicted several dates in June and July for a likely end to the long legal battle between the SEC and the cross border payment remittance firm. 

Settlement is less likely according to Ripple proponent John Deaton 

Attorney John Deaton commented on the unconfirmed news of an undisclosed meeting between the SEC and Ripple, arguing that a settlement is not likely. The only time a settlement can occur is after Judge Torres’ ruling, if Ripple wins the case, the SEC can save face, according to Deaton.

Deaton therefore believes that a settlement is out of the question in the SEC’s case against XRP. Find out more about the unconfirmed meeting here
