The long-standing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC may be nearing a historic resolution.
In a court filing dated April 10, both parties agreed to pause their appeals as they enter active settlement discussions, sparking speculation that the incoming SEC Chair, Paul Atkins, may be ready to drop the case altogether.
The filing noted that both sides aim to “save time and resources” — meaning Ripple no longer needs to respond to the SEC’s brief, previously due on April 16.
The move comes as institutional wallets and whales have started repositioning, suggesting that high-level negotiations are quietly underway.
Ripple vs SEC: This Is a Turning Point
In a recent X post, crypto analyst John Squire shared his belief that this pause isn’t procedural — it’s strategic.
“When institutions start positioning ahead of time, it’s because they know what’s coming,” he wrote.
“What’s coming might be one of the most important validations the crypto space has seen in a long time.”
He emphasized that if a settlement is reached today, April 16, it could unlock:
- A major XRP price rally
- Regulatory clarity
- Momentum for XRP ETF approvals
From Legal Limbo to Institutional FOMO?
According to Squire, a settlement would remove XRP from regulatory limbo, triggering renewed institutional interest. He believes this event could “open the door to one of the strongest crypto use cases and growth stories yet.”
Ripple Leadership Hints at the End
Back in March, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse hinted that the case was close to resolution. With Paul Atkins confirmed as SEC Chair on April 9, the regulatory tone appears to be shifting.
Additionally, Attorney Fred Rispoli predicted something “big” by April 16 — assigning only a 10% chance that Ripple would proceed with its appeal, but a 90% chance that it would either settle or withdraw.
What Happens Next?
- A settlement announcement today could act as a catalyst for XRP ETFs, already filed by ProShares, Bitwise, and 21 Shares.
- It would also re-position XRP as a legitimate institutional asset in the U.S., opening the door to new liquidity and use cases.
For now, all eyes are on the Ripple vs. SEC docket — and today could mark the most important day in XRP’s modern history.
As of April 10th, Ripple and SEC agreed to pause their appeals with speculations that negotiations are going on. Squire believes that the pause is strategic and the closed door meetings and high level negotiations could possibly lead to a settlement.
A settlement could drive institutional interest into XRP driving price rally. This could also provide momentum to XRP ETF filings.
