Per Hogan, considering where the case currently stands, only two outcomes are possible going forward.
The ongoing SECvs Ripplecase has dragged on for quite a reasonable amount of time (approximately 3 years) now. With so much back and forth and no end in sight for the case, many concerned parties are beginning to raise concerns.
The growing concerns are linked to the fact that the case, which was opened in December 2020, potentially holds immense influence on the crypto industry. That is especially true as it concerns the way the industry would be regulated henceforth.
SEC vs Ripple Case to Be Resolved By 2027, Says Lawyer
Jeremy Hogan, a well-known lawyer, recently took to his X (formerly Twitter) page to outline how and when he believes the case will end. Hogan suggestedthat a resolution could be reached by 2027.
Per Hogan, considering where the case currently stands, only two outcomes are possible going forward. The renowned legal analyst says that the SEC may opt to settle the case against individual defendants. If that happens, he believes that the regulator will then seek a final judgment against Ripple before heading to an appeal court if the judgment is not in its favour. Although Hogan does not exactly see the SEC toeing this path, he believes it will be the best decision for the agency.
By Hogan’s estimations, taking this route would save the SEC between 9 to 12 months for it to reach an appellate court. But more than saving time, it will also help the SEC to save resources.
After the settlement of individual defendants, the suit would automatically enter into the “remedies” proceedings stage. However, remedies litigation is extensive, so that may likely extend well into 2026, the legal juggernaut says.
The alternative route, according to Hogan, is that the SEC may settle the entire case against Ripple and all the individual defendants. However, it must be noted that, so far, the SEC has refused to show any willingness to compromise on its stance. Nonetheless, this is a possible scenario that could arise during a settlement conference, Hogan submitted.
What Next?
As Coinspeaker earlier reported, the court recently denied the SEC’s interlocutory appeal. However, popular expert opinion is that the said denial only pertains to the kind of appeal that precedes a final judgment.
Popular legal analysts such as Cody Carbone, Elliott Z. Stein, and Max Schatzow are all in agreement on this. They insist that post-trial appeals remain on the table of options as demanded by standard litigation procedures. However, that is after all remedies must have been determined.

This is not the first time Israel’s central bank has intervened in the foreign exchange market to stabilize the shekel.
The Bank of Israel has announced its intention to sell up to $30 billion in foreign reserves to support the Israeli shekel as it faces its weakest point in seven years. The decision comes in the wake of a sharp currency depreciation, reaching its weakest point in seven years, following a deadly incursion by Hamas militants over the weekend.
The incursion by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which occurred during a major Jewish holiday, involved multi-pronged attacks by land, sea, and air, including the use of paragliders. It followed a barrage of thousands of rockets launched from Gaza into Israel, intensifying the ongoing conflict.
Central Bank of Israel to Control Volatility of Shekel
Due to the ongoing conflict, the Israeli shekel saw a 1.63% drop, trading at 3.90 against the US dollar, reaching its lowest value in seven years. The country’s central bank has decided to tackle the situation by selling its foreign reserves to save the local currency.
According to the official announcementon Monday, Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron said the bank will operate in the market to smooth out volatility in the shekel’s exchange rate and provide the necessary liquidity.
“The Bank will operate in the market during the coming period in order to moderate volatility in the shekel exchange rate and to provide the necessary liquidity for the continued proper functioning of the markets.”
Aside from the planned forex sale, the Bank of Israel will provide liquidity through SWAP mechanisms in the market, offering up to $15 billion. This move aims to ensure market stability amidst ongoing uncertainty.
The announcement follows a 6.47% drop in Israel’s benchmark TA-35 index, the largest loss in over three years. However, after the central bank’s statement, the index showed signs of recovery, edging up 0.11% during the first hour of trading on Monday.
Not the First Intervention
This is not the first time Israel’s central bank has intervened in the foreign exchange market to stabilize the shekel. Two years ago, in 2021, the Monetary Committee at the Bank of Israel announced its intention to purchase $30 billion in the foreign exchange market. The move was aimed at preventing the appreciation of the shekel.
“The advance announcement of the scope of the purchases is intended to provide the market with certainty regarding the Bank’s commitment to dealing with the recent sharp appreciation, and thus support the economy’s continued dealings with the economic ramifications of the COVID-19 crisis,” the central bank said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the impact of the shekel’s recent decline is not limited to Israel alone, as other Middle East markets have also faced declines. Egypt’s EGX 30 saw a 0.6% dip, and Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index dropped by 0.55%.
