Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) face an ongoing legal dispute that continues to spark new speculation regarding their settlement process. Social media rumors indicated that the SEC planned to disclose its rulings on the XRP lawsuit on August 7, 2025. A community member posted the initial claim to social media, referencing an outdated court document that confused XRP supporters. The legal community rejected the notion as outdated after it gained initial public approval.
Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel publicly refuted the August 7 delay claim calling it “stupid and wrong.” This swift dismissal has cast doubt on the validity of the speculation, and legal professionals are urging caution regarding the timing of the lawsuit’s resolution. According to Fagel, the timeline for the SEC’s final decision remains uncertain, but it is unlikely to stretch as far as suggested.
