The reality of the Ripple – SEC lawsuit: Is it floating or ending in 2026?
The recent social media buzz has been swirling around the information that the lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC could be extended until the end of 2026. Specifically, a user named Altcoin Bale posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“BREAKING: The final decision on the SEC v XRP case may be delayed until the end of 2026”
This information quickly attracted attention, but most of the XRP investor community reacted negatively, calling it misleading information.
So what is the reality?
The latest update shows that during the trial, both Ripple and the SEC requested the court to postpone the appeal process. The SEC needs to submit a status update by August 15, 2025, but this does not mean the lawsuit will extend until 2026.
Ripple has also submitted an appendix to the court, supporting the legal proposal called Motion for an Indicative Ruling. However, legal expert Marc Fagel noted that this supplemental letter seems to bring nothing new, merely aimed at reassuring the community after skepticism from Crypto Twitter.
Expert Fagel warns that predicting the court's next move is difficult due to the unique situation. If the court denies the request, Ripple will have to decide whether to continue appealing or accept a settlement.
Legal expert Bill Morgan also commented: 'If the SEC and Ripple reach a directive ruling, the case could be concluded within the next few weeks.'
Conclusion:
There is no official information confirming that the Ripple – SEC lawsuit will be extended until 2026. Currently, the next updates are expected in August 2025. The end date could be much earlier than initially predicted.
