(7/🧵) Why Would a Judge Delay a Case BOTH Parties Want Resolved?

In 2025, Ripple and the SEC jointly requested dismissal of the case.

Judge Torres REFUSED.

Why?

Because the public still needs to believe XRP’s fate is “uncertain”.

Behind the scenes, the rails are already built:

•RLUSD (Ripple’s stablecoin), ONDO tokenizing US Debt on Ripple

•AEON partnership (20M+ merchants)

•BIS connections

•IMF pilots

•Permissioned DEX for institutions

The legal drama? Just optics.
