The long-drawn-out case between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple appears to be nearing a resolution as an ex-SEC official suggests that the case will be dismissed promptly under “highly favorable terms”. John Reed Stark, who previously worked as the director of the SEC Internet Enforcement Office for 18 years, shared these insights in a Tuesday post on the X social media platform, highlighting changes in the SEC’s wider approach to crypto enforcement. Ripple vs. SEC Lawsuit Potential Resolution Prospects The SEC lawsuits against several high-profile will be ground to a screeching halt as the regulatory agency’s newly established Crypto Task Force seeks to resolve previous enforcement actions against the companies. In his lengthy post, John Reed Stark noted that the SEC’s suit against Coinbase had been “paused”, bringing attention to a similar pause in its case against Binance. According to Stark, this pattern indicates that the SEC is reassessing its regulatory outlook on digital assets. In his estimation, the same outcome awaits the SEC’s case against Ripple, which has been embroiled in a lawsuit with the SEC since December 2020. “The writing is now on the wall: SEC crypto-enforcement has officially expired,” Stark posited. He added: “I guess winning cases is not a measure of success under the new SEC regime. It is instead more worthy of a Scarlet Letter and disbandment.” A key ruling in July 2023 saw Judge Analisa Torres declare that Ripple’s sale of XRP tokens to retail investors via digital asset exchanges did not violate U.S. securities laws — dealing a huge blow to the SEC’s case. Stark speculates that the SEC could either pause or completely withdraw its ongoing appeal against Ripple. “Expect all crypto-related appeals, including the appeal of the Ripple matter, to pause or even more likely, to be fully withdrawn,” he said. Significant changes are happening at the SEC after Commissioner Mark Uyeda was appointed to take over as the agency’s acting chair before President Trump’s pro-crypto pick, Paul Atkins, is officially confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Thus according to Stark, active suits, including the XRP litigation, might be resolved in a way that is highly favorable to crypto firms. “Expect the SEC to direct the SEC trial unit to pause all crypto-related litigation or, alternatively, to settle or dismiss all SEC crypto-related cases expeditiously in highly favorable terms to the crypto-defendants,” Stark opined. Meanwhile, most crypto spectators believe the positive resolution of the SEC lawsuit would pave the way for U.S. spot XRP ETFs, which Ripple president Monica Long is convinced are “likely to be next in line after Bitcoin and Ethereum”— both of which saw U.S.-listed spot ETFs successfully launched in 2024.

TL;DR Donald Trump’s endorsement of Ripple on Truth Social, where he shared articles about the company’s US expansion, has fueled speculation within the XRP community about a potential price surge. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and rumored role in his crypto advisory council highlight the administration’s increasing engagement with the digital asset sector. Trump’s Potential Support The election of Donald Trump as America’s 47th President was considered a huge win for the cryptocurrency community, given his favorable stance on the sector shown during his presidential campaign. The Republican also made several promises to let the industry thrive and pledged to make the US the crypto capital of the world. Upon reassuming office on January 20, he took key steps to stick to his word. On January 23, 2025, the politician signed an executive order titled “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology,” which supports the growth and use of digital assets and blockchain technology across all sectors of the economy. The order also prohibits federal agencies from “undertaking any action to establish, issue, or promote CBDCs within the jurisdiction of the United States or abroad.” Trump’s presidential victory and the hype surrounding his inauguration were among the main factors fueling the crypto market’s bull run in late 2024 and early 2025, as Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, noted. Last month, the exec said the company had shifted its focus once again toward its homeland – the USA – following the Republican’s triumph. “75% of Ripple’s open roles are now US-based, while over the last 4 years, the vast majority of hires were outside the US. We signed more US deals in the last six weeks of 2024 (since the election) than the previous six months,” Garlinghouse stated. Several hours ago, Trump shared two articles revealing Ripple’s recent development in America on his social media platform Truth Social. His endorsement sparked major speculation across the XRP community, with some expecting this to catalyze a price explosion for the asset. Others, like XRPcryptowolf, called the market “irrational” because it did not move simultaneously after the interaction. Garlinghouse and Trump Ripple’s CEO and the American president have already broken the ice between each other. In January, they had a dinner meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. A month later, Garlinghouse was rumored to be a top contender for the Republican’s cryptocurrency advisory council. The group’s main role will be to create a comprehensive regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency sector and work closely with Trump and David Sacks (whom the president tapped to serve as cryptocurrency and AI “czar”).
