A post by WF on X has sparked renewed enthusiasm in the XRP community, claiming there is a 70–90% probability that a settlement between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will be finalized by August 15, 2025. However, beneath the surface, the case remains complex, procedural nuances dominate, and regulatory deadlines, not rumors, will determine the outcome. Why August 15 Is Significant but Not Decisive August 15 marks the deadline for both Ripple and the SEC to file a joint status report, a regular court requirement, not a settlement trigger. XRP enthusiasts interpret it as a sign that both parties are moving toward a final resolution. JUST IN: The latest rumor claims that there’s a 70–90% chance of a settlement between Ripple and the SEC by August 15 — WF (@WhaleFUD) July 23, 2025 Rather than judgment, August 15 may bring clarity on intent: if courts receive filings showing both parties have withdrawn their appeals, the case could move swiftly toward closure. However, the SEC’s internal process still needs to culminate in a commissioner’s vote before any official settlement is finalized. Legal Realities: Appeals, Withdrawals, and Bureaucratic Timing In a significant development, Ripple has announced its intention to withdraw its cross-appeal , and CEO Brad Garlinghouse has indicated that the SEC is expected to follow suit. This signals that both parties favor an end to litigation, potentially making the release of dismissal papers more likely following the August status update. Former SEC attorney Marc Fagel has clarified that any dismissal hinges on internal SEC steps, including preparing a formal enforcement recommendation followed by a vote from its five commissioners, a process that typically takes one to two months, and sometimes longer. Broader Consequences for XRP and Crypto A true settlement would close the chapter on a legal saga beginning in December 2020, in which Judge Analisa Torres previously ruled that XRP sales on public exchanges were not securities, while institutional sales were. This outcome would significantly reduce uncertainty around XRP’s regulatory classification and could pave the way for clearer rules across the crypto sector.

The Takeaway WF’s claim of a 70–90% settlement probability reflects true optimism in the XRP community, but remains speculation. August 15 brings procedural transparency, not confirmation. The fate of XRP now rests on formal court filings and the pace of SEC internal processes. As investors and observers await the joint status report, it’s wise to treat the rumor as hopeful, yet speculative, and to remain grounded until official filings confirm the next step. Watch for updates around mid‑August, but expect that true resolution may arrive only after internal regulatory procedures play out.
