Ripple XRP Case Update: The closely watched legal battle between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gained notable traction amid settlement speculation.
XRP price also hit a high of $0.63 last week due to growing settlement speculations and XRP ETF buzz amid various positive developments. XRP especially saw massive trading volumes from Asian crypto markets including South Korea.

The XRP army awaits final judgment in the remedies phase by Judge Torres. However, settlement speculations were suddenly stirred up due to the U.S. SEC’s closed-door meeting, Ripple’s 150 million XRP move, and CEO <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-ceo-expects-sec-v-xrp-case-resolution-shortly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Brad Garlinhouse’s</a> recent comments on settlement prospects.
Former SEC securities lawyer Marc Fagel said there’s no evidence of a settlement between Ripple and SEC. He also explained that approval of the settlement would likely not be considered at a closed meeting, especially at this point in the Ripple XRP case.
“If the enforcement staff had negotiated a settlement with Ripple, they would have notified the court to prevent the issuance of the remedies ruling while awaiting SEC approval,” he added.
Commenting on the final judgment in the remedies phase, Fagel asserts it will happen in the weeks ahead. He also believes Judge Torres will issue a final verdict regarding remedies, with a decision by Judge Netburn on the remaining motions unlikely.
Other lawyers including <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-xrp-case-update-lawyer-dismisses-sec-meeting-settlement-link/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bill Morgan</a> and Fred Rispoli have already commented on their expectations of a final judgment on penalties by the end of July or early August. Morgan also dispelled settlement speculation over the upcoming SEC meeting on institution and settlement of administrative proceedings.
