The lawsuit between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may be resolved far earlier than previously feared. Crypto legal expert Bill Morgan has challenged speculation that the case could extend into 2026, believing the court may issue a final decision within weeks.
According to Morgan, Judge Analisa Torres is unlikely to reject the current joint motion unless she intends to reverse her earlier summary judgment. He warned that such an action would be unlikely, with judicial consistency being one of the factors. His remarks have restored optimism in the XRP community that a resolution would soon come to pass.
If a joint motion is accepted, the case might also be closed a few moments later. This complication would end an era in Ripple and contribute to establishing the regulatory framework of XRP in the U.S. market.

ETF Interest Grows as Legal Endgame Nears
The nearing resolution of the case has also accelerated discussions around a potential spot XRP exchange-traded fund. Legal clarity is widely seen as a requirement for ETF approval, and institutions are preparing for the outcome.
Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas have raised approval odds following signs of engagement between the SEC and prominent asset managers. SEC has already recognized the 19b-4 submission by companies like Grayscale, WisdomTree, 21Shares, and Franklin Templeton.
Although the deadline for a final decision is October 17, 2025, analysts reckon it could be approved sooner due to ongoing regulatory communication. Maintaining that the court has not yet arrived at its final decision, market observers now consider an XRP ETF as probable.
Technical Indicators Hint at Potential Price Reversal Amid Market Uncertainty
In the meantime, XRP trades at the price of $2.03, equipped with stable support at the prices of $2.00 and $2.08. The resistance is hence at $2.52 and $2.79, and targets to extend will be at $3.07 and $3.24 should there be rising pressure on buying.
Currently, at 44, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reflects a neutral stance nearing oversold conditions. The MACD still is in the bearish territory, however it starts flattening out, which signals a potential change of the market direction.
Should XRP dip below 2 dollars, the prices will likely be retested at 1.80 dollars, but the fact that it held above the support can positively affect the current sentiment.
