XRP Lawsuit News: Expert Reveals Why SEC Won’t Miss January 15 Deadline and Risk Dismissal

The SEC's deadline to file an appeal in the Ripple XRP lawsuit is approaching on January 15, 2025. While Judge Torres ruled that XRP is not a security, the classification of sales depends on contract specifics. There is speculation about potential delays or last-minute moves by SEC Chair Gary Gensler before his tenure ends on January 20. Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel believes a decision on the appeal could take 10-12 months and a dismissal is unlikely but still possible. Some believe the case may shift under a new administration with a crypto-friendly environment in Washington. The impact of any unexpected actions by the SEC may not have a lasting effect due to the growing support for crypto-friendly policies.
