With Gary Gensler to depart and Paul Atkins to take over as US SEC Chair under the pro-crypto Trump administration, experts and XRP army expect an end to the long-running XRP lawsuit. A top lawyer closely following the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit development predicts the potential resolution of the case by April or May this year.
Pro-XRP Attorney Says XRP Lawsuit To Likely End By May
Donald Trump’s win in the US presidential election and nomination of pro-crypto Paul Atkins as US SEC Chair were seen as major advantages for Ripple and XRP. CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed his intention to work with the new SEC, boosting developments and regulatory clarity. It also sparked anticipation for the likely dismissal or withdrawal of the XRP lawsuit appeal.
Interestingly, attorney Jeremy Hogan responded to a post on X about the odds of Ripple vs SEC case getting dismissed, settled or dropped by February. Hogan responded, “I’d say it’s possible but maybe unlikely.”
He added that the decision may not come earlier as it takes a lot of time to get reports together, memos, have the requisite SEC meetings, and others. Still, Hogan expects either dismissal or settlement in April or May.
I’d say it’s possible but maybe unlikely. 40 days is not a lot of time to get reports together, memos, have the requisite SEC meetings, etc.. I’m going with April/May as a likely timeframe.

Moreover, XRP price will cross $10 as institutional and retail investors flock to invest in the asset with legal clarity.
