Key Win For Ripple As Court Speeds Up XRP Lawsuit Judgment

Ripple Labs has secured a major victory in the XRP lawsuit as a U.S. court approved a motion to expedite issuing a final judgment in the case. This move is seen as a critical step toward resolving the case that has lingered for years, impacting Ripple and its native token, XRP.

Court Moves for Faster Resolution

In a positive move for Ripple, the latest court ruling amended an earlier decision, paving the way for a faster resolution. According to court filings, both Ripple and the plaintiffs jointly agreed there was no need to delay the judgment, as most class claims had been resolved.

However, the court also granted Ripple’s request for an amended judgment, addressing uncertainties about the case’s finality. Although the judgment moves forward, one claim for relief against Ripple remains on hold until the appeals process concludes.

Meanwhile, both parties are expected to file a motion to lift the stay within 30 days after appeals are resolved. Alongside these developments, Ripple submitted extensive litigation cost records, reflecting the effort behind its defense.

Ripple Vs SEC Lawsuit Timeline

This latest win comes after Ripple’s earlier success in its battle with the SEC, which continues to shape regulatory discussions in the U.S. Pro-XRP lawyer Jeremy Hogan has speculated the SEC case might conclude by mid-2025, especially if leadership changes at the SEC.

Ripple’s leadership remains optimistic, seeing these wins as a strong base for future growth. The faster judgment in the XRP lawsuit shows Ripple’s progress and could influence other crypto-related cases.

Ripple’s XRP Seeing Surge

Late last week, XRP soared to a three-year peak of $1.63 after news broke that SEC Chair Gary Gensler plans to step down on January 20, the same day President-elect Donald Trump is set to begin his second term.

While the price has since eased to $1.46, XRP still boasts a remarkable 30% gain over the past week. Market analysts remain bullish, with some forecasting that XRP could reclaim its previous all-time high of $3.38 before the year ends.
