The long-running legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is once again heating up — and the crypto community is watching closely.
Recently, Ripple and the SEC jointly renewed their request for an indicative ruling from Judge Analisa Torres. Now, social media buzz is circulating that a court decision could come as soon as Monday.
Many $XRP supporters believe that if the motion is approved, the price of $XRP could potentially surge past $5. However, legal experts are urging caution.
⚖️ Expert Opinion: Don’t Get Your Hopes Too High
Prominent pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan issued a warning to the community, highlighting that Judge Torres took just seven days to reject a similar joint motion previously. This, he argues, could signal a repeat decision.

According to Morgan, the strongest part of the joint request is the claim that modifying the final judgment is essential to finalize a settlement. If Judge Torres agrees to reduce Ripple’s fine and dissolve the injunction, it could end the entire case — and save significant legal resources.
But he also noted a critical weakness: the structure of the settlement itself. Ripple made the decision to link the outcome to a change in the final judgment. Morgan explains that the case could’ve been closed without this condition, but Ripple insisted — which now places additional pressure on the judge to accept terms shaped by Ripple’s preference.
