Speculation around the XRP lawsuit is heating up as legal expert Jeremy Hogan hints at the possibility of an early resolution in March. With discussions surrounding Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s potential attendance at the White House Crypto Summit, the crypto community is eager to uncover the latest developments in the Ripple vs. SEC legal battle.
Could the XRP Lawsuit See an Early Dismissal?
Legal expert Jeremy Hogan recently sparked discussions about an early resolution in the XRP lawsuit. When asked on X (formerly Twitter) whether the SEC’s recent pattern of dismissing cases could extend to Ripple’s appeal in March, Hogan responded that an early dismissal is indeed possible. However, he cautioned that the resolution of all aspects of the case remains crucial before any celebrations.
Yes, but I'd wait until eveything is hashed out before dismissing the appeals. This all has to be done very carefully.

Will the SEC Drop Its Appeal Against Ripple?
Adding fuel to the speculation, Hogan mentioned that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse might participate in the White House Crypto Summit. This led to conjecture about a possible settlement in the lawsuit. One theory suggests that the SEC could choose to withdraw its appeal, mirroring its approach in the Coinbase case.
For the SEC to formally dismiss the lawsuit, the commissioners must vote on the matter. However, their decision may be delayed until all legal complexities are addressed. Given the SEC’s recent case withdrawals, XRP supporters are hopeful for a similar outcome in Ripple’s favor.
Could a Settlement Be Delayed Until May?
Amid mounting optimism for a swift resolution, Hogan tempered expectations by noting that the case could still extend until May. His comments align with concerns from legal experts like MetaLawMan, who have pointed to the intricate legal hurdles that remain unresolved in the lawsuit.
Judge Analisa Torres’ injunction has been cited as a major obstacle to an early resolution. Nonetheless, the latest developments suggest that a settlement in March remains a real possibility, with the injunction issue potentially handled separately.
