Will the Ripple-SEC Legal War End Under the Trump Admin?
The XRP community has been anticipating the end of the 4-year legal war between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Trump’s crypto policies and the appointment of crypto-friendly candidates to the key administrative roles have sparked optimism within the community. SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s resignation and Paul Atkin’s succession in particular have further fueled excitement, invoking speculations of a new regulatory era.
Recently, the topic of XRP lawsuit settlement got worsened as rumors spread around a clash between Ripple and Trump.

However, Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty dismissed the rumors and wrote on X, “The rumors published by this 3rd-tier crypto rag are pure fiction.”
