Top Attorney Predicts Ripple Case End Timeline

With Gary Gensler to depart and Paul Atkins to take over as US SEC Chair under the pro-crypto Trump administration, experts and XRP army expect an end to the long-running XRP lawsuit. A top lawyer closely following the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit development predicts the potential resolution of the case by April or May this year.

Pro-XRP Attorney Says XRP Lawsuit To Likely End By May

Donald Trump’s win in the US presidential election and nomination of pro-crypto Paul Atkins as US SEC Chair were seen as major advantages for Ripple and XRP. CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed his intention to work with the new SEC, boosting developments and regulatory clarity. It also sparked anticipation for the likely dismissal or withdrawal of the XRP lawsuit appeal.

Interestingly, attorney Jeremy Hogan responded to a post on X about the odds of Ripple vs SEC case getting dismissed, settled or dropped by February. Hogan responded, “I’d say it’s possible but maybe unlikely.”

He added that the decision may not come earlier as it takes a lot of time to get reports together, memos, have the requisite SEC meetings, and others. Still, Hogan expects either dismissal or settlement in April or May.

I’d say it’s possible but maybe unlikely. 40 days is not a lot of time to get reports together, memos, have the requisite SEC meetings, etc.. I’m going with April/May as a likely timeframe.

US SEC Preparing for Opening Brief in Ripple Case Appeal

Meanwhile, US SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and Chief Litigation Counsel Jorge Tenreiro to likely preparing to file an opening brief in the XRP lawsuit as the January 15 deadline approaches.

As CoinGape reported, the SEC should be deliberating a last-minute filing related to appeals in Ripple Vs SEC case before pro-crypto Paul Atkins takes over. This could leave Ripple with challenges, while the XRP community awaits positive developments including XRP ETF launch and XRP price rally.

If the lawsuit gets dismissed, it will open doors for XPP ETF approval. The filings by several issuers including Bitwise, Canary Capital and 21Shares remained on the table for months. Moreover, XRP price will cross $10 as institutional and retail investors flock to invest in the asset with legal clarity.

XRP price jumped more than 1% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $2.45. The 24-hour low and high are $2.43 and $2.50, respectively. However, the trading volume has decreased by 15% in the last 24 hours, indicating a decline in interest among traders.

XRP price prediction by CoinGape signals rally to $15 soon as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse welcomes incoming pro-crypto US Congress.
