Ripple's lawsuit with the SEC remains in the spotlight, with the crypto community closely watching every development.

The case between Ripple and the US stock exchange continues to keep the crypto community on tenterhooks. Many are wondering what's slowing down the process, but according to former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel, everything is proceeding according to plan.

Is the lawsuit really about to end?

Despite the latest developments, the lawsuit between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is not yet concluded. And for this reason, many in the XRP community are still perplexed.

Some believe that Judge Torres is slowing down the proceedings , given the wait for approval of the joint motion to dismiss the case.

According to a user on X, the delay in the resolution would be linked to the procedural timing of the judge, who would need time to complete the formalities.

Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel responded to this observation by stating that "no one is blocking the case." Fagel shared his perspective on the ongoing lawsuit in a post on X, reiterating that the proceedings are proceeding as normal.

Marc Fagel reiterated that Judge Torres no longer has an active role in the case and is therefore not blocking anything.

According to the former SEC lawyer, the regulator is also not causing any intentional delay, but is simply following standard filing procedures, which typically take one to two months after the internal vote.

"No one is blocking the case. Not the judge (there's nothing to decide), nor the SEC (which has a standard procedure to follow and will reject the appeal once a vote is cast, a process that usually takes 1-2 months)," Fagel said.

For the lawyer, only the withdrawals of the appeals are missing

Marc Fagel has repeatedly clarified the potential developments in the SEC-Ripple lawsuit. Contrary to what some have speculated, the lawyer has clarified that the blockchain company has not yet officially withdrawn its appeal.

According to Fagel, both Ripple and the SEC will have to proceed with withdrawing their respective appeals , but the formal completion of the process could take a month or two.

Fagel reiterated, in a post on X, that the case has entered a purely procedural phase, where everything depends on the parties involved.

"There is nothing pending before the judge; now it is up to the parties to simply withdraw their appeals, which they will do shortly," the lawyer said.

Will Ripple be able to operate freely again?

The appeals now appear to be being withdrawn, and Ripple is on track to settle one of the longest-running lawsuits in the history of the cryptocurrency industry. With the court's dismissal of the case, the company will be able to resume its operations in the United States without any restrictions.

But the real goal lies elsewhere: XRP would gain implicit legal recognition, confirming that it is not a security when traded on the secondary market. This would be a key step towards institutional investor adoption and pave the way for the approval of a spot ETF.

Meanwhile, XRP continues its rally

Meanwhile, XRP continues its rally. Buoyed by whales, ETF enthusiasm, and the boom in the RLUSD stablecoin, the token has gained 30% in a week and is now aiming to reclaim the $3 mark.

While the lawsuit is pending final resolution, Ripple has begun the process of obtaining a banking license in the United States, an important step toward integration into traditional finance.

Additionally, it has entered into new partnerships with major institutions such as BNY Mellon, the world’s largest custodian bank, which will not only take care of the custody of RLUSD reserves but will also provide services to support the stablecoin’s operations.
