Judge Torres may rule differently if this happens

The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC may be heading for a surprising turn. If government secrets or national security interests come into play, Judge Analisa Torres may have to reconsider some of her previous rulings - this could significantly change the future of XRP. Judge Torres recently denied the SEC's request to lift the ban on institutional XRP sales and reduce Ripple's $125 million fine. If a second attempt is denied, Ripple may file a cross-appeal, which could continue to prolong - and perhaps delay spot ETF funds further. Why national security could matter? Social media user, Ashley Prosper, recently explained how this could happen. Judge Torres is not going to change her ruling just because of external pressure. But if official documents or classified information show that XRP was linked to national interests, the law would require the court to act. For example, there may be a Treasury order revealing XRP's role in a new digital reserve system, or FedNow documents hinting that XRP may be used in U.S. payment networks. The Department of Justice could also claim that the lawsuit harms America's financial system or foreign relations. If something like this were to happen, the court would have to prioritize national security and amend the case accordingly. Could the Treasury Department intervene or feed into this? There is also a chance for the U.S. Treasury or the Federal Reserve. If either of them submitted a legal note or spoke directly to the court, saying that XRP is part of the country's future financial system and the lawsuit is not in the public interest, everything could change. This could lead to lifting restrictions, reducing penalties, or even dropping the case. While these moves are rare, they have happened before - typically during financial crises or cases involving national security. If XRP does become part of the American financial system, this legal battle may pave the way for something bigger. New information or government support could quickly turn XRP into an important part of the country’s financial future. The XRP ETF decision has been delayed again. In other news, the SEC has pushed back its decision on the 21 Shares' request for a spot XRP ETF. This follows similar delays for Franklin Templeton and Bitwise. Bloomberg analyst James Seyfert stated that approvals for crypto ETFs - including XRP - are unlikely until late June or early July. But realistically, it may not happen until early 2025.
