The long-running legal battle between Ripple Labs and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may finally be nearing its conclusion, according to fresh rumors circulating within the cryptocurrency community. Speculation is mounting that June 16, 2025, could mark the end of one of the most consequential cases in crypto history, a claim that prominent voices across the digital asset landscape have amplified.
Community Speculation Heats Up
The catalyst for the latest buzz comes from the popular X user and XRP advocate, Levi of Crypto Crusaders, and amplified by JackTheRippler, who declared,
“RUMORS: The SEC v. RIPPLE case will end on June 16!”
While such posts often come with a grain of salt, this particular rumor coincides with critical procedural deadlines that could shape the next chapter of the case. Notably, legal experts have begun weighing in with their interpretations, offering a more grounded perspective on what the June 16 date could actually signify.

Legal Insights from Fred Rispoli
Adding legal heft to the conversation, attorney Fred Rispoli provided a detailed analysis of the current posture of the case. Shedding light on the procedural dynamics surrounding the June 16 deadline, Fred emphasized that both Ripple and the SEC are expected to refile a revised settlement agreement before Judge Analisa Torres. The earlier version, jointly submitted by the parties, was denied, prompting the need for a new filing.
In his words, “20 days later, no refile yet by SEC and Ripple in district court and the June 16 deadline for the status update in the 2nd Circuit looms large. Expect the refile before Judge Torres to happen by then. If there is nothing pending before Torres when the parties file the status report, the 2nd Circuit only has Torres’ denial of the first request and will restart the briefing. If a motion is pending before Torres at the time of the 6/16 status report, the 2nd Circuit will likely push it out another 60 days.”
As explained by Rispoli, if no settlement motion is pending before Judge Torres by the time the parties submit their status update to the Second Circuit, the appellate court will likely restart the briefing process. However, if a new motion is filed, the Second Circuit is expected to delay proceedings by another 60 days, giving the district court time to address the matter.

While no official confirmation exists that the case will definitively conclude on June 16, the date carries procedural significance. It marks the deadline for Ripple and the SEC to update the Second Circuit Court on the status of the case. This status update could either be routine or pivotal, depending on whether new motions are filed or outstanding.
A Resolution Within Reach?
While speculation is often premature, this particular rumor is grounded in real legal deadlines and observable procedural behavior. The absence of a refiled motion from the SEC, coupled with the importance of the June 16 status update, makes the date a credible focal point for significant developments, if not the outright conclusion of the case.
Still, caution remains warranted. The legal system moves methodically, and outcomes are rarely as abrupt as rumors suggest. That said, the mounting anticipation speaks volumes about the case’s influence. Whether June 16 brings a final order or simply another extension, it will undoubtedly be a date of great interest for all stakeholders involved, from legal analysts to XRP holders and the broader crypto community.
