In a recent development in the ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), prominent crypto lawyer Fred Rispoli shared an important update via Twitter.
The <a href="https://twitter.com/freddyriz/status/1831349122714239360?s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post highlights</a> an agreement between Ripple and the SEC regarding handling potential monetary judgment payments, which may indicate a higher likelihood of an appeal in the case.
According to Rispoli, Ripple and the SEC have come to an agreement in which 111% of the monetary judgment will be held in trust.
This trust is a precautionary measure and will ensure the funds are available for payment to the SEC under specific circumstances: 30 days after the appeal deadline passes without any appeal being filed, or following the conclusion of an appeal, should one occur.
While this agreement is not definitive proof that an appeal will be filed, Rispoli notes that the decision to set aside such a significant amount of money suggests some level of uncertainty, particularly on the part of the SEC, about whether they intend to appeal the case.

Rispoli underscores that setting up a trust with such specific conditions is not something typically done unless there are concerns or evasiveness from one party—in this case, the SEC—about its intentions regarding an appeal.
He implies that the creation of this trust may reflect the SEC’s uncertainty or unwillingness to commit to a course of action at this stage. The agreement is designed to protect Ripple’s financial interests while providing a clear mechanism for the resolution of the monetary judgment should the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/likely-implications-of-sec-appeal-on-xrp-price/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC decide to pursue further litigation.</a>
It is important to note, as Rispoli emphasized, that this development does not guarantee an appeal will take place. The appeal process is a complex legal decision that requires consideration of several factors, including the strength of the case, potential legal precedents, and broader regulatory implications for the cryptocurrency industry.
However, the fact that <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-clo-shows-that-sec-contradicts-itself/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple and the SEC</a> have agreed to this precautionary measure indicates that the possibility of an appeal is more than just speculative. As Rispoli stated, “the odds have increased.”

In the comments section of Rispoli’s tweet, social media user Kitty Leroux voiced her perspective. She <a href="https://twitter.com/LerouxQuiqui/status/1831349954196959539?s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">suggested</a> that the SEC’s primary objective in pursuing the lawsuit against Ripple was not merely about regulatory enforcement, but rather a deliberate attempt to harm and hold back the company’s progress.

Leroux expressed her concern that the SEC will likely appeal the case, stating, “The SEC has no shame. They will appeal to continue their mission.” While this view reflects skepticism toward the SEC’s motives, it underscores the growing anticipation within the cryptocurrency community regarding the potential for further legal battles.
The uncertainty surrounding a potential appeal, for Ripple, means prolonged legal costs and continued regulatory scrutiny, which could affect its operations and market position. For the SEC, an appeal could represent an opportunity to reinforce its stance on digital assets and potentially set a precedent for future regulatory actions within the crypto space.
As the deadline for a potential appeal approaches, all eyes remain on both Ripple and the SEC to see whether this chapter in the landmark case will continue in the courts.
