The post XRP News: SEC Could Delay Its Announcement Until August 7? Hint XRP Member! appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The long-running legal fight between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is nearing its final chapter. With both sides dropping their respective appeals, attention has now turned to what comes next. However, a new claim from an XRP community member suggests that the SEC won’t make any official announcement on the case until August 7, raising questions about a potential delay.
Is a Settlement Really Happening?
Ripple’s legal chief, Stuart Alderoty, has hinted that all necessary paperwork for a settlement has already been prepared. The next step, however, lies in the hands of the SEC Commission, which is expected to vote on the matter within the next 30 days.
Once that vote is complete, the SEC will move to lift the injunction imposed on Ripple. If Ripple complies with the process, Judge Analisa Torres will then sign off on the motion, officially closing the case.
Will the SEC Remains Silent Until August 7?
Adding more fuel to the speculation, an XRP supporter named Brett recently made a bold claim on social media. He stated that the SEC would not make any official announcement on the lawsuit until August 7, citing a court document as his source.
His post quickly gained traction, with some in the community seeing it as a significant development. However, not everyone agreed. Many pointed out that the document he referenced was from last year, casting doubt on its relevance to the current situation.
Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel even dismissed the claim outright, calling it “stupid and wrong.” This conflicting information has left the XRP community divided on what to believe.
No Official Announcement From the SEC
Although both the SEC and Ripple have withdrawn their appeals, the agency has yet to make an official announcement, leading to speculation that the case may already be settled. However, legal complexities could be causing a delay.
Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett suggested that the SEC might be waiting to ask Judge Torres to remove the injunction—a step that is different from how other cases have been handled.
For now, XRP holders are eagerly waiting for clarity, with hopes that the lawsuit’s resolution will bring long-awaited regulatory certainty to Ripple and its token.
