Will XRP Break Free From SEC’s Grip and Soar to New Heights? Ripple’s Legal Case Could Lead to a Historic SEC Defeat!

Ripple’s legal case with the SEC is approaching its final phase, drawing intense crypto industry interest. Andrew Parish, co-founder of Arch Public, revealed that SEC insiders expect a resolution soon, with XRP undergoing regulatory changes. The crypto industry awaits confirmation of potential shifts as changes in legal oversight may determine XRP’s future within financial markets. Parish suggests XRP could receive a new classification, impacting its market operations and legal standing. Some experts have reacted and expressed optimism, while others warn of unresolved legal obstacles, meanwhile, XRP’s price movements reflect investor uncertainty. 

Ripple vs. SEC: A Five-Year Battle Nears Its Final Chapter

Andrew Parish the cofounder of Arch Public has announced that Ripple’s legal case with SEC is reaching its conclusion. This case started when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Ripple for $1.3 billion in unregistered XRP sales. Now it has almost been five years since the start of the case in December 2020. Based on Parish’s update on the case two sources from the SEC claim that the case is ending soon. This has attracted a lot of attention from legal experts in the crypto community.

The update from Parish also gives some other positive developments for Ripple and XRP. This is because previously Judge Analisa Torres banned XRP’s institutional transactions as these transactions were breaching securities laws. In this legal case which goes back to August 2024, Ripple was also fined $125 million. However, the court established that XRP’s programmatic sales to retail buyers and investors were not in breach of any laws. The new agreement between Riplle and SEC however is set to change the regulatory stance against XRP’s institutional transactions.

Legal Breakthrough? SEC’s Reclassification of XRP

Based on Parish’s predictions there will be two major regulatory changes from the SEC that involve Ripple’s XRP. He predicts that the SEC might be going through with  XRP’s commodity reclassification, if so the regulations will change drastically. This reclassification would allow for institutional transactions with XRP, while also not limiting XRP’s sale to retail investors. Based on Parish’s announcement the $125 million fine given by the last year’s court order is also set to be reduced. 

In response to these claims, some legal experts have reacted with further analysis about the possibility of these changes. John Deaton, a pro-crypto legal expert responded with surprise and optimistic doubtfulness. Bill Morgan a pro-crypto lawyer also showed optimism about the changes, however, he mentioned that reduced fines do not seem plausible. Moreover, he mentioned the court’s ruling about the institutional ban on transactions would persist regardless of XRP’s commodity reclassification. Based on his responses the court’s injunction can be only nullified with a motion to modify or to dissolve.

XRP Struggles: Will a Legal Win Revive Its Price?

These developments come as XRP’s market has experienced a slump for days, and a bearish price movement in the recent weeks. Even XRP’s inclusion in the US digital assets stockpile has not had a positive lasting effect on the asset’s value. At the time of writing XRP is trading near $2.28 with a 2.6% daily decline. Based on Coingecko’s data this coin’s 24-hour price range is between $2.25 and $2.38.

 XRP’s Future Hinges on Final Ruling: Boom or Bust?

The final decision could impact market sentiment beyond just XRP, as a positive ruling could set a new regulatory framework. However, ongoing restrictions might push Ripple to explore alternative growth strategies, as the company must keep evolving to maintain momentum.  As regulatory frameworks evolve, XRP’s trajectory remains closely tied to legal developments, so, Investors await to assess XRP’s long-term potential.
