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.

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.

Analysts are bullish on XRP, citing technical indicators like Fibonacci levels and a historical correlation with the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY). Versan Aljarrah of Black Swan Capitalist highlights past instances where DXY declines preceded significant XRP rallies, such as in 2017-2018 and 2021. With the DXY trending downward again, Aljarrah suggests XRP could surge if the index revisits 2018 levels. Meanwhile, other analysts, including CasiTrades and Ali Martinez, project ambitious targets up to $6. The recent passage of the GENIUS Act, which could benefit Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, has already boosted XRP past $3. Despite ongoing SEC litigation, market sentiment is improving, with Ripple having already paid a $125 million fine.

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.

Speculation is rising that the SEC’s upcoming closed meeting under new Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda may address the ongoing Ripple lawsuit, yet experts caution against expecting significant outcomes. The core issue remains whether XRP is classified as a security, with the SEC arguing it was sold as an unregistered investment, while Ripple maintains it is a digital asset for payments. Despite a recent ruling favoring Ripple, the SEC has appealed, prolonging the legal battle.
