The post XRP Lawsuit News: Ex-SEC Lawyer Reveals Ripple Was Discussed Weekly, Predicts Possible Dismissal of Appeal appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

There are rumors that Ripple and the SEC will have a closed meeting, which could lead to a significant development in the XRP case. Speculation suggests that the meeting may result in the case being closed or dropped entirely, with answers expected soon.

A user reacted to this, praising the XRP community for its unwavering perseverance. Despite being wrong many times, the community continues to stay positive and hopeful, showing up every month for updates.

Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel weighed in, saying he has attended hundreds of these meetings, and Ripple has been a topic of discussion in almost every single one.

He wrote on X,

“I started attending in the late 1990s, and they were already talking about settling with Ripple. It’s always been a highlight of the weekly meeting.”

Fagel believes the SEC will continue on its current path for now, filing the opening brief as planned. He also pointed out that the new SEC chair could take some time to be confirmed, and it’s possible that they may vote to dismiss the appeal. Though it’s an unusual step, Fagel thinks it’s a possibility if the right people are in charge.

I think they continue on the current path (i.e. file the opening brief as scheduled) for now. It'll take time for the new Chair to be confirmed. Does the new SEC then vote to dismiss the appeal? Maybe. It's highly unprecedented, but I can see Atkins/Peirce/Uyeda taking that step.

Ripple’s RLUSD launch had positive price action initially but has since been impacted by market downturns. Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, believes RLUSD will be big for the company’s future. With SEC’s clarity and possible case dismissal, XRP might be up for a massive rally.
