The Ripple vs SEC lawsuit continues to capture the attention of the crypto community, with many wondering what’s causing the delay in its conclusion. However, former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel has cleared the air, stating that “nobody is holding up the case.”
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Fagel responded to claims that Judge Torres is causing delays by not approving the joint motion to dismiss. He firmly rejected the idea, saying there is nothing pending before the judge. “Not the judge (there is nothing for her to decide), not the SEC,” Fagel wrote, adding that the case is moving forward under standard procedures.
Fagel explained that once the SEC takes an internal vote, it typically takes 1–2 months to formally dismiss an appeal. So, the delay isn’t unexpected, it’s just how the legal process works. He also pointed out that both Ripple and the SEC are expected to drop their appeals soon.
Contrary to rumors, no official filing has been made yet to dismiss the case. Fagel stressed that it is just a procedural step and the parties are now taking care of the process themselves without the court.
Fagel is a relief to the XRP holders and other crypto enthusiasts who are closely following the case. The case is not stagnated, it is just approaching the finish line, gradually and steadily.
With the ultimate wrap-up still awaited in the crypto world, all the attention is on Ripple and the SEC to take the next step.
