The post Ripple and SEC want appeals paused – Is a breakthrough ruling coming soon? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Ripple and the SEC have jointly paused appeals, signaling a potential endgame in the multi-year legal battle. Could this be the final catalyst that unlocks XRP’s suppressed potential? After nearly five years of legal wrangling, the Ripple vs. SEC case may finally be nearing resolution. And with institutional demand for XRP on the rise, it seems the market has already priced in a favorable settlement. But legal disputes are rarely straightforward. The wait can be taxing, patience wears thin, and FOMO fades. But when the verdict lands in your favor, the payoff can make every moment worth it. So, is this truly the final chapter? Could Q3 finally trigger the relief rally long-awaited by XRP’s most patient holders? The final pause: Market braces for Ripple vs. SEC resolution On the 16th of June, things took another meaningful turn. Both Ripple and the SEC asked the U.S. Second Circuit to pause their appeals.  This appeal stems from the 2023 ruling, where Judge Torres held that XRP is not a security when sold in programmatic (retail) transactions, but is a security when sold to institutional investors, giving Ripple partial ground for appeal. Fast-forward two years, and now those appeals are on pause. That move likely points to what’s happening behind the scenes: Serious settlement talks.  In fact, Ripple’s offering a $50 million penalty (way down from the SEC’s original $2 billion ask), and is asking the court to lift the remaining restrictions. If the judge signs off, this could finally close the book on one of crypto’s longest and loudest legal battles. The case now enters its final chapter. With both Ripple and the SEC aligned on this proposed resolution, the next few days could be pivotal, especially for XRP holders watching for that final ruling.
