The Ripple vs SEC saga continues to captivate the crypto community, especially on X (formerly Twitter), where new rumors are flying that the long-running lawsuit could finally end today. But according to a former SEC lawyer, those hopes might be a little too optimistic.
According to the latest rumors, both Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) were about to dismiss their appeals and bring the case to a close today. However, Marc Fagel stepped in to clear the air.
In a post on X, Fagel said it’s “highly unlikely” that the Ripple case will be resolved today. He explained that at this point, neither party has officially withdrawn their appeal. Also, the SEC usually takes several weeks or even months to vote on enforcement matters like this.
“Anything is possible, but it would be very unusual,” Fagel added, saying that anyone claiming the case is ending today probably doesn’t understand how the SEC works internally.

Adding to the speculation, the SEC held a closed-door meeting on July 3rd, sparking hopes of a fast settlement announcement. But Fagel poured cold water on that too, saying it was just a regular meeting and it typically takes several weeks for enforcement matters to be added to the SEC’s voting agenda.
He also reminded the community that the SEC is known for moving slowly when it comes to processes like these, even if the outcome feels obvious.
What’s Next for Ripple and XRP?
Both sides are still expected to drop their appeals, but it’s likely to take more time. While the crypto world moves at lightning speed, government agencies, as Fagel put it, tend to move like snails.
For now, XRP holders are advised to stay patient. The final dismissal might not happen as quickly as the rumor mill suggests, but the end of this years-long case is slowly approaching.
