Ripple’s ongoing court battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to stir uncertainty across the crypto market. Recent buzz on social media suggests that a major court decision could arrive as soon as Monday, raising hopes among $XRP supporters that the token might soar to $5. But legal experts aren’t so sure.
A Cautious View from the Legal Side
Pro-$XRP lawyer Bill Morgan recently advised the community to keep expectations in check. In his view, it may be too soon to count on a favorable ruling. He reminded followers that Judge Analisa Torres previously rejected a similar joint motion in just seven days — and this new request may meet the same swift denial.
The latest motion asks the court to amend its final judgment — an adjustment that Ripple and the SEC argue is key to reaching a settlement and ending the drawn-out case. If the judge agrees, Ripple could see its penalties reduced and certain restrictions lifted, possibly paving the way for a long-awaited rally in $XRP ’s price.
But Morgan pointed out a flaw in this approach: it was Ripple’s own decision to link the settlement to modifying the court’s final orders. The two sides could have chosen to settle without asking the court to change its ruling, but Ripple wanted more favorable terms. Now they are asking the court to approve a deal shaped largely by Ripple’s conditions — a request that may not sit well with the judge.
“She might grant the motion,” Morgan admitted, “but I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t.”
For now, Morgan’s message is simple: don’t expect XRP to skyrocket just yet.
