The long-running legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. SEC has kept the crypto world on edge.

While the SEC recently dropped cases against major firms like Coinbase and Kraken, many wonder if Ripple could be next.

The crypto world has been closely following the legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). While the SEC recently dropped cases against Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Kraken, many are wondering if Ripple will be next in line for a resolution.

As March approaches, pro-XRP lawyer Jeremy Hogan has dropped a major hint about an early resolution to the lawsuit, which could come as early as March.

This news comes as no surprise to those who have been following Hogan's predictions closely. Back in December, Hogan optimistically claimed that the case could be fully closed by March, despite his previous predictions of a May timeframe.

Community members have been discussing the possibility of an early dismissal with Hogan, asking if the SEC’s recent trend of dropping lawsuits could lead to a quick resolution for Ripple in March, with the injunction issue being handled later.

To this, Hogan replied that an early dismissal is possible, but we must make sure that all legal matters are fully settled before we start celebrating.

Adding to the buzz, Hogan also revealed that Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, might attend the White House Crypto Summit.

This statement sparked some debate among community members, with one member questioning the accuracy of the claim. However, Hogan maintained his statement, further fueling speculation about a potential game changing moment for Ripple.

The SEC filed its opening appeal on January 15, 2025, and Ripple has until April 16 to respond. Legal experts, including Jeremy Hogan, have pointed to the injunction on XRP sales as a key reason why the case is still ongoing.

Some theories suggest that Ripple is trying to lift regulatory restrictions, such as the DePay and FinCen regulations, before settling with the SEC.

While the exact reasons for the SEC’s continued pursuit of Ripple remain unclear, one thing is clear this lawsuit is more complex than others the SEC has recently dropped.
