Recent discussions on social media suggested that the SEC's case against Ripple Labs might extend into 2026. Trader 'Altcoin Bale' warned followers of potential delays in the SEC v. XRP decision. However, XRP expert Bill Morgan countered this claim, asserting that such a delay is unlikely unless Judge Torres rules against the recent joint motion. On June 13, Ripple and the SEC filed a motion to dissolve last year's injunction and redistribute a $125 million civil penalty, with $50 million for the SEC and $75 million returned to Ripple. The Second Circuit has paused appeals and requested a status report by August 15, 2025, which does not imply a 2026 decision. Judge Torres previously ruled that while institutional XRP sales were unregistered securities, programmatic sales were not. Following the SEC's withdrawal of its challenge in March 2025, both parties began settlement discussions. Morgan acknowledges that a complete settlement failure is possible, but it remains an unlikely scenario. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
