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.
