Ripple (XRP) vs SEC Case as of June 23: 2026 Not on the Cards Unless Judge Torres Takes This Action

Fresh speculation has emerged about the timeline of the ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In a recent post, crypto analyst Bale suggested that a final resolution might be delayed until late 2026. However, seasoned legal expert and XRP advocate Bill Morgan swiftly dismissed that possibility, calling it highly unlikely unless an unexpected turn occurs in court. Bill Morgan: A 2026 Delay Is Improbable According to Bill Morgan , a delay extending into 2026 is “not on the cards” unless Judge Analisa Torres rejects the most recent joint motion filed by Ripple and the SEC. If that were to happen, it could derail the settlement process entirely and force both parties to pursue full appeals, likely stretching the case through higher courts and over an extended timeline. Morgan considers this outcome improbable, as it would disregard the practical progress already made. He noted that the most sensible outcome remains for both sides to accept the 2023 summary judgment, which found Ripple’s institutional XRP sales to violate securities laws but cleared programmatic and other distributions. The remedies being considered, such as financial penalties and dissolution of the permanent injunction against Ripple, are aligned with that ruling, and continuing the process through mutual agreement is the most efficient path forward. This is not on the cards unless Judge Torres rules against the latest joint motion and rather that make the common sense decision to live with the summary judgement decision and the current penalty and permanent injunction, the settlement process breaks down completely and both… https://t.co/K6iU3OfQ4y — bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) June 23, 2025 Where the Case Currently Stands The SEC first filed suit against Ripple in December 2020, alleging that the company raised over $1 billion through unregistered XRP sales. In July 2023, Judge Torres delivered a landmark ruling that partially favored Ripple. While she sided with the SEC regarding institutional sales, she determined that XRP itself is not a security and that programmatic sales and other distributions did not violate securities laws. Since then, legal proceedings have focused on determining penalties and final remedies. In May 2025, both parties submitted a joint proposal for remedies, indicating progress toward resolution. Although Judge Torres denied an initial sealing request on procedural grounds, the court instructed the parties to refile , seen largely as a technical issue rather than a sign of discord.

Former SEC enforcement attorney Marc Fagel noted that, barring unforeseen developments, the court’s pace and the collaborative posture of both parties suggest a resolution is within reach. Meanwhile, Fred Rispoli predicts the judge will issue a decision within weeks. This growing consensus among legal experts reinforces the notion that the long-running dispute may finally be coming to a close. Looking Ahead Unless Judge Torres takes the unexpected step of rejecting the joint motion and triggering a full appeal process, the Ripple-SEC case appears to be approaching its final chapter. All indications suggest that both parties are working toward closure rather than preparing for a renewed courtroom battle. As of today, the ultimate decision lies with Judge Torres. With procedural hurdles nearly cleared, a resolution could soon bring an end to one of the most closely watched legal battles in crypto history.
