The Future of Ripple Hangs in the Balance: National Security May Alter the Course of the Case Against SEC
Recent developments in the case between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suggest the possibility of a significant legal turnaround, especially if national security considerations or sensitive government documents come into play. According to unofficial reports, there is talk of a potential strategic role for XRP within the financial system in the United States, which may prompt direct intervention from entities such as the Treasury Department or the Federal Reserve.
At the same time, the decision on the approval of the XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) has been postponed once again, adding further uncertainty regarding the future of Ripple, making 2025 a critical juncture in the fate of the currency.
