The SEC vs Ripple case saw unprecedented community involvement with over 75,000 XRP holders submitting statements and affidavits through attorney John Deaton’s coordination. Judge Torres specifically referenced these community submissions in her decision, including Deaton’s amicus brief and holder affidavits. Ripple’s Deputy General Counsel confirmed the community’s role in the legal strategy, which culminated in a $50 million settlement recently approved by the Second Circuit. While XRP trades at $2.85 with mixed short-term performance, the case sets a precedent for crypto community influence in regulatory battles. The focus now shifts to whether legal clarity will translate into increased utility and adoption for XRP.
about XRP Community Impact in SEC vs Ripple Case RevealedRipple’s Legal Battle, RLUSD Growth & XRP Volatility
The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC remains unresolved, with the SEC appealing a 2023 ruling that favored Ripple. The case, which began in 2020, has seen fines reduced from $2 billion to $50 million, but a final decision is pending. Meanwhile, Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD has gained traction, with BNY Mellon and AMINA Bank supporting it, boosting its market cap to over $600 million. XRP’s price has been volatile, briefly dropping to $2.75 before recovering above $3, with analysts divided on its short-term outlook. Some predict a rally to $3.65, while others warn of a potential pullback due to whale selling and technical indicators.

Gemini, the US-based crypto exchange, has added XRP, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Bitcoin Cash, and Solana as collateral assets for its GUSD-settled perpetual contracts. These tokens join BTC, ETH, and stablecoins but come with varying collateral haircuts (15% for XRP/SOL, 30% for DOGE/SHIB due to volatility). The update boosts utility for XRP—recovering from its SEC legal battle—and meme coins gaining traction beyond their niche. Despite recent price declines (XRP -1.4%, DOGE -3.2%, SHIB -4%), analysts remain bullish, projecting long-term targets like $1 for DOGE and $9–$10 for XRP if adoption grows. The move signals broader altcoin integration in US crypto derivatives markets.

The ongoing legal tussle between Ripple and the SEC remains a focal point, with the SEC yet to withdraw its appeal despite recent court rulings favoring Ripple. The case, which began in 2020, saw Ripple fined $50 million after initial demands of $2 billion. Meanwhile, Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, has gained traction, with its market cap surpassing $577 million and receiving regulatory recognition in Dubai. Additionally, the XRP community is anticipating a spot XRP ETF, with approval odds at 87% by year-end. XRP’s price, currently at $3.08, shows signs of potential recovery, supported by increased whale activity and declining exchange reserves.

The Ripple vs SEC case remains unresolved, with conflicting predictions about a potential settlement. Crypto enthusiast Mark Paul speculates a 70-90% chance of a $50 million penalty and no injunction by August 15, 2025, but lawyer Marc Fagel argues such an outcome is impossible due to court rulings. The SEC sued Ripple in 2020 over unregistered XRP sales, and while a 2023 partial win for Ripple clarified retail sales, institutional sales were deemed violations. Recent attempts to reduce the $125 million penalty and lift the injunction were dismissed by the court. Both parties are expected to file a status update by August 15, but Fagel cautions that any settlement timeline remains speculative.

Legal analysts, including former SEC attorney Marc Fagel, have downplayed expectations of a Ripple-SEC settlement before July 14, citing lengthy internal procedures. Fagel confirmed that the SEC must vote internally and follow formal processes to withdraw the case, which typically takes one to two months—ruling out a weekend decision. He also dismissed rumors linking the case to Judge Analisa Torres or ISO 20022 standards, emphasizing that no pending motions exist. Despite market speculation fueled by a closed-door SEC meeting, experts insist no imminent action is expected. Fagel further clarified that former SEC Chair Gary Gensler is not tied to the case’s extension, as the lawsuit predates his tenure.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse will testify before the Senate Banking Committee on July 9, addressing the need for crypto market structure legislation. The hearing coincides with XRP forming a bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, suggesting a potential 12% price surge. Meanwhile, Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC continues, with a denied settlement motion and lingering questions over XRP’s classification. The Senate hearing precedes ‘Crypto Week,’ where lawmakers will discuss key bills, including the CLARITY Act, which could define XRP’s regulatory status. A favorable ruling could place XRP under CFTC oversight, providing clarity for investors and the broader crypto market.

Mercado Bitcoin, one of Latin America’s largest crypto exchanges, has integrated $200 million in real-world assets (RWAs) onto the XRP Ledger, including fixed-income and equity instruments. This follows the exchange’s earlier success in tokenizing over $1 billion in private credit assets with zero defaults. The integration, finalized after a March 2025 agreement with Polygon Labs, signals strong confidence in Ripple’s blockchain. Additionally, Mercado Bitcoin is using Ripple’s New York-licensed stablecoin, RLUSD, which saw a 0.43% rise to R$5.43 on July 4, 2025. The announcement coincides with Ripple’s ongoing SEC legal battle, though the XRP Ledger continues to gain traction with over 70 financial institutions connected. This development highlights XRPL’s growing role in cross-border finance and Latin America’s embrace of blockchain innovation.

According to Bloomberg ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas, the SEC is highly likely (95%) to approve an XRP spot ETF, with filings already submitted by firms like Franklin Templeton and Bitwise. The Ripple-SEC legal battle continues, with recent motions denied by Judge Analisa Torres, but optimism persists due to institutional interest and regulatory shifts. XRP’s price remains volatile, trading at $2.18, but institutional adoption—including Grayscale’s SEC-approved ETF inclusion—hints at long-term growth potential. A closed-door SEC meeting on July 3 could further clarify the case’s outcome.

XRP’s price structure has completed its corrective phase, entering Wave 3 with momentum building toward a breakout, according to analyst CasiTrades. The token rebounded from a key Fibonacci support at $2.07, now targeting the $2.25 resistance level—a decisive breach of which could signal further upside toward $2.45–$2.69. Ripple’s withdrawal of its SEC appeal adds fundamental optimism, though regulatory risks remain. Traders are closely watching whether XRP can convert $2.25 into support, with historical supply zones near $2.60–$2.70 posing the next challenge. Technicals suggest bullish potential, but Elliott Wave targets are probabilistic, and macro-regulatory shifts could alter the trajectory.

Judge Analisa Torres’ denial of the SEC and Ripple’s joint motion has reignited discussions about the ownership of XRP held in escrow. Crypto experts, including Brad Kimes and Edo Farina, argue that no laws prevent Ripple from selling its escrowed XRP, while speculation grows about potential US government acquisition for a national cryptocurrency reserve. Farina claims entities like the BIS, US Treasury, and IMF may already hold a portion of the escrowed XRP, though transparency around ownership remains unclear. Meanwhile, XRP’s price shows bullish momentum, trading at $2.188 with long-term predictions reaching $17, contingent on breaking its all-time high of $3.4.
