XRP Lawsuit: Lawyer Estimates Maximum Timeframe for Ripple vs SEC Case Dismissal

Amidst the SEC’s positive approach to XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), anxiety is building around the potential resolution of the Ripple lawsuit. Notably, the recent settlement of the Coinbase case has fueled community optimism about a potential dismissal of the XRP lawsuit. According to legal expert Jeremy Hogan, a settlement in the Ripple vs. SEC case is possible as early as Q2 2025.

Will XRP Lawsuit be Settled by May 2025?

As the community awaits an imminent resolution in the XRP lawsuit, advocate Jeremy Hogan shared his insights. In an X post, Hogan stated that the Ripple vs. SEC case could witness a settlement by the first half of April or early May. However, he clarified that the prediction is merely his intuition and not based on any concrete evidence.

Hogan’s comments came in response to Good Morning Crypto host Johnny Krypto’s post. Addressing Hogan, Johnny Krypto shared a thread, seeking the lawyer’s opinion on the impending conclusion of the XRP lawsuit. The message read, “Do you think the XRP case can get dropped sooner than you originally thought or does May still feel right to you gut??

Coinbase Case Closure and XRP Lawsuit Settlement

In a surprising development, the US SEC agreed to drop the prolonged Coinbase lawsuit, marking a significant milestone in the crypto space. The move also highlights the SEC’s regulatory changes that visions the establishment of the US crypto environment.

Celebrating the significant development, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X that the platform reached an agreement with the SEC after “years of litigation, millions of your taxpayer dollars spent, and irreparable harm done to the country.”

Meanwhile, Jeremy Hogan sees the Coinbase suit dismissal with prejudice as a strong win, as it permanently closes the case. He means that there is no room for the SEC to refile the case.

Notably, as per Hogan’s words, the SEC’s bold move suggests they’re not waiting for Commissioner Atkins’ confirmation to take decisive action on crypto regulation. This implies the SEC might make more crypto-friendly moves even before Atkins takes office, potentially indicating an imminent XRP lawsuit settlement.

SEC’s XRP ETF Acknowledgements Spark Enthusiasm

Over the last few days, the SEC has taken significant steps towards potentially approving XRP ETFs. Particularly, the SEC acknowledged XRP ETF applications submitted by multiple asset managers including Grayscale, 21Shares, CoinShares, Bitwise, and Canary Capital.

This optimistic move, coupled with the SEC’s decision to drop the Coinbase case, has sparked speculations of an early XRP lawsuit settlement. Previously, Jeremy Hogan posited that the XRP lawsuit conclusion could be possible before the SEC’s approval of an XRP ETF.

Although the SEC’s ETF nod doesn’t assure approval, it has fueled community optimism about a potential ETF launch and lawsuit dismissal. As per wider speculations, with the SEC recognizing XRP ETF applications, a lawsuit dismissal is now within reach.
