Former SEC Official Clarifies How Ripple Prolonged the XRP Lawsuit

A former SEC official clarified that Ripple, not the Commission, was the engine of the extended call process for this year. The perception of the general public was that the dry dragged its feet.
Now, the two parties moving to complete the disputes, the final resolution is probably close.
Ripple and the dry in court
The Ripple vs dry affair was a historic action of cryptography, and it should have ended in March. However, an intermediate colony and persistent attempt remained in the news for months.
Marc Fagel, former regional director of the SEC and longtime titles litigant, addressed increasing speculation on X (formerly Twitter), explaining that Ripple had launched a failed attempt to renegotiate the appeals of the court.
The company sought to cancel an injunction and reduce its penalty by $ 125 million. However, the judge rejected these conditions.
“The parties initially attempted to settle the case according to the conditions which made the subordinate to the calls for the court which canceled the injunction and reduces the sentence rejected,” wrote Fagel. “The court refused. They therefore had to restart the process. “
Essentially, the dry under Gary Gensler prohibited Ripple from selling titles to non -institutional investors. Now that the commission is under new management, the company has attempted to delete this ban.
This process led to months of continuous litigation and appearances in court, ending until the end of June.
With hindsight, some circumstantial evidence support these complaints. For example, two weeks before Ripple and the SEC closed the appeal to the appeal, they made a joint request to continue the legal process.
At the time, legal observers noted that the deposit seemed to be timid, not having responded to the main concerns of the judge. This may have indicated a decrease in investments in the battle.
Clarify the injunction of the era peopleler
This year’s basic question comes from an injunction of the era people in less than the undulation to make institutional sales of XRP without recording of the dry. Ripple tried to remove this injunction after the 2024 US elections inaugurated a new management at the Commission under President Paul Atkins.
However, the legal system does not move as fast as political feeling. Fagel stressed that the delays observed in 2023 and early 2024 were common in complex federal disputes, without part of a tactic of deliberately stricken by the dry.
What is the next one: final resolution expected on August 15
The last stage in the case is procedural. Both parties must submit official deposits to withdraw their calls. The deadline for the dry to answer or move forward is August 15, 2025.
Once it is finished, the penalty of $ 125 million, currently owned in receivership, will be transferred to the US Treasury.
“They will not be” eliminated “. That they illegally increased hundreds of millions through sales of not registered securities are the law established, “noted Fagel.
However, this part of the case ended with a clear defeat for Ripple. Fagel was categorical that the dry would not let Ripple win the old violations of the titles.
In legal terms, the court has already judged that Ripple’s institutional sales have violated the securities laws and that these conclusions remain binding.
