A Former SEC Lawyer RespondsStatus of the $125 Million PenaltyWhat to Expect Next

The XRP community is on high alert as the Ripple vs U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) legal battle moves toward what could be a decisive step on August 15. The date could mark the official end of the lawsuit that has loomed over XRP since 2020. However, despite excitement, there’s still confusion about the next steps and whether either side has dropped their respective appeals.

In the days leading up to August 15, one Ripple supporter publicly asked CEO Brad Garlinghouse about the company’s legal approach. Specifically, the user questioned when Ripple dropped its countersuit against the SEC and why Paul Atkins hasn’t moved to fully dismiss the case yet. 

A Former SEC Lawyer Responds

Marc Fagel, a former SEC lawyer, responded to the conversation by explaining that neither Ripple nor the SEC has yet dropped their appeals. According to him, the process involves the SEC voting internally to dismiss its appeal first.

1) Ripple has not yet dropped its cross-appeal.
2) There is a standard process the SEC must follow to approve this, which can take several months. No foot dragging, just legal requirements. It will happen soon.
3) Judge Torres no longer has anything to do with the case.

After that, both sides will file the required documents in court to officially withdraw their appeals. These filings will be publicly visible on the court docket once submitted.

Status of the $125 Million Penalty

Fagel also addressed the issue of the $125 million penalty Ripple agreed to pay. The amount has already been paid in cash and is being held in escrow. Once the dismissal process is complete, the funds are expected to be transferred to the U.S. Treasury.

When someone asked whether XRP tokens could be used to pay the penalty instead of cash, Fagel clarified that it was not possible. He said that changing the payment method would require a court order, and neither party is likely to pursue such a request at this stage.

What to Expect Next

Once the SEC officially moves to drop its appeal, Ripple is expected to do the same. After that, both parties will file paperwork to close the case. While the SEC is not required to make a public statement, the court filings will confirm the final outcome.
