XRP Lawsuit: Why the US SEC Is Delaying the Ripple Case?

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision to drop lawsuits against several major crypto players has left the Ripple case as a notable exception. Recently, the US SEC dismissed litigations against Kraken, Cumberland, and Consensys, sparking curiosity about the status of the XRP lawsuit. Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett took to X to share insights on the possible reasons behind the SEC’s delay in the Ripple case.

Let’s take a closer look at the Ripple case and the SEC’s decision to exclude the platform while dropping lawsuits against other crypto companies.

Is US SEC Further Delaying the XRP Lawsuit?

In her recent X post, Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett shared insights on the possible reasons for the SEC’s delay in the XRP lawsuit. While the SEC intentionally missed Ripple while dismissing cases against other major firms, Terret stated that the move wasn’t surprising.

Emphasizing the unique circumstances of the Ripple case, Terrett stated, “No Ripple here but I’m not entirely surprised because, again, it is slightly different to these other cases.” The journalist pinpointed the complexities surrounding the XRP lawsuit unlike other crypto lawsuits.

The SEC’s approach to resolving the XRP lawsuit differs from other crypto cases due to an existing injunction. To move forward, the SEC must request Judge Torres to lift this injunction, allowing them to proceed with voting on the withdrawal of the appeal and other related matters.

SEC Dismisses Kraken, Cumberland, Consensys Cases

In a recent development, the US SEC officially announced the dismissal of the crypto lawsuits involving Kraken, Cumberland, and Consensys. This decision comes after the SEC filed a joint stipulation with each company. The filing agrees to dismiss the cases with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled.

It is noteworthy that the dismissal comes without any financial implications for the crypto firms. Dropping the lawsuits, the Commission underscored the irrelevance of the cases. However, the regulator clarified that its decision does not imply a change in its position on the underlying issues of the lawsuits.

As highlighted by Terrett, these dismissals do not impact or influence the ongoing XRP lawsuit. Meanwhile, the Ripple lawsuit is expected to follow specific procedures, which may lead to a delay in its conclusion. The settlement process for the Ripple lawsuit involves several steps. This includes the SEC’s request to lift the existing injunction and the subsequent voting on the withdrawal of the appeal.

Recently, attorney Fred Rispoli shared a possible timeline for the Ripple case settlement. He stated that the lawsuit will end within the next 60 days.

How This Delay in the Ripple Lawsuit Settlement Impact XRP Price?

Amidst the complexities and uncertain timeline surrounding the Ripple case settlement, the XRP price faces major corrections. As of press time, XRP is trading at $2.21, with a 5.38% dip in a single day. Over the past week and month, XRP has plummeted by 6.7% and 2.2%, respectively.

Despite this negative trend, a positive sentiment persists among investors, as indicated by a 17.6% surge in trading volume, currently at $3.85 billion. This sparks a bullish prediction for XRP, with analysts foreseeing its ascendance to $11.
