The crypto community’s focus is still on the prolonged XRP lawsuit despite the buzz surrounding Donald Trump’s TRUMP memecoin launch. With Trump’s inauguration and SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s resignation, the XRPArmy anticipates an imminent resolution in the Ripple vs SEC case.

Securities Lawyer Predicts 10-Month Delay in Ripple vs SEC Case
In an X post, Marc Fagel emphasized the uncertain nature of the Ripple vs SEC case, positing that the case could be further prolonged to 10 months. He has also commented on the possibility of a sooner settlement under the Trump government if the new SEC Chair Paul Atkins opts to drop the appeal.
The discussion began with Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett’s post on Trump’s TRUMP token. While Eric Trump hailed the TRUMP coin as the “hottest digital meme on earth,” Fagel dismissed it as a “pyramid scheme.”

The conversation quickly escalated into a debate about hot topics, including the Ripple vs SEC case, Elon Musk’s ongoing battle with the SEC, and the broader implications of crypto regulations. Marc Fagel wrote,
Ripple broke the law, as a federal court confirmed. Musk, previously charged with securities fraud and thus a repeat offender, seems to have pretty clearly broken the law. But I guess we just give billionaires and well-financed companies a pass.
How Trump’s Memecoin Will Impact XRP Lawsuit?
Following the recent memecoin frenzy triggered by the TRUMP token, XRP lawyers are closely examining the potential outcome of the XRP lawsuit. For instance, attorney Bill Morgan raised concerns over the memecoin’s impact, urging Congress to adopt clearer crypto guidelines. At the same time, pro-XRP advocate John Deaton emphasized his preference for memecoin regulations over other concerns like SAB 121, CFTC oversight, and tax reform.
Ripple Lawsuit’s Broader Impact on Crypto Market
The Ripple vs SEC case conclusion could have a broader impact on the crypto market, especially in the regulatory landscape. Ripple’s win over the SEC could establish a legal precedent for other cryptocurrencies, clarifying digital assets as non-securities. However, if Ripple loses to the SEC, it could usher in a stricter regulatory environment, posing significant challenges for cryptocurrencies.
