Crypto analyst EGRAG Crypto has presented a contrarian view on the expected timeline for the resolution of the SEC’s case against Ripple, suggesting that May 2025 could be the most likely month for a final decision.
This prediction goes against the majority expectation, as a poll conducted by the analyst shows that most respondents (49.3%) believe March 2025 will be the resolution month.
Meanwhile, May was the least chosen option, with only 8.4% selecting it. According to EGRAG Crypto, this contrarian approach is based on historical patterns in market psychology, legal processes, and regulatory timing.
#RIPPLE – #XRP : Case will be concluded in May 2025:
Contrarian Analysis: Why May 2025 Could Be the SEC vs. Ripple Case Resolution Month:
March 2025 – 49.3% (Most expected)

Market Psychology and Legal Delays
EGRAG Crypto argues that when a large majority expects a specific outcome, markets and legal cases often move in the opposite direction. With nearly half of the poll respondents anticipating a conclusion in March, it creates a “crowded prediction.” Historical trends suggest that legal and financial outcomes frequently deviate from widespread expectations.
Additionally, legal proceedings rarely adhere to predicted timelines, especially in complex regulatory disputes. The SEC’s enforcement actions often involve settlements, negotiations, and potential appeals, which can push final resolutions beyond initial projections. Even if significant developments occur in March or April, the finalization of the case could extend into May due to bureaucratic and procedural delays.

Regulatory Timing and the U.S. Election
Another factor supporting the May 2025 prediction is the U.S. presidential election scheduled for November 2025. EGRAG Crypto notes that regulatory agencies may aim to resolve high-profile cases.
With the summer months typically marked by reduced government activity, May could serve as a strategic window for concluding the case, ensuring clarity before political shifts potentially impact regulatory policies.
Settlement as a Likely Outcome
Rather than a full trial, EGRAG Crypto suggests that a settlement is the most probable resolution. Settlements often take longer than initially expected, as both parties negotiate terms that satisfy legal and strategic considerations. If the case is not dismissed outright, May 2025 could be the optimal time for reaching a compromise, aligning with the overall trend of delays in SEC litigation.
Frustration Within the Crypto Community
The prolonged nature of the SEC vs. Ripple case has generated frustration within the cryptocurrency community. An X user, SH, expressed disappointment over the extended timeline, noting that other companies have resolved their regulatory disputes while Ripple remains entangled in legal uncertainty. The comment highlighted dissatisfaction with regulatory inconsistencies and the impact of past political administrations on the case’s progress.
While the prevailing market expectation points to a resolution in March 2025, EGRAG Crypto presents a compelling contrarian case for a May conclusion. Legal complexities, bureaucratic delays, and regulatory timing ahead of the U.S. election all support the likelihood of an extended timeline. If this analysis proves accurate, XRP holders and market participants may need to prepare for a longer wait before the case reaches its final resolution.
