Fact Check: Will Ripple vs SEC End This Thursday?

The long-standing legal dispute between Ripple and the U.S. SEC may be approaching the finish line—but despite growing social media buzz, it's not officially ending this Thursday.

A widely circulated tweet from journalist Eleanor Terrett suggested that the SEC would address Ripple’s case at a Thursday meeting. However, that tweet dates back to March and refers to an internal scheduling note that no longer applies.

Currently, the case stands with partial resolution: the court ruled XRP is not a security on secondary markets, and Ripple accepted a civil fine for earlier institutional sales. Still, formal dismissal paperwork and an official SEC statement remain pending.

Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, recently affirmed the case is “effectively over,” pending final formalities. However, there’s been no public confirmation from the SEC itself.

This case matters greatly to the broader crypto market. Legal clarity could open the door for institutional adoption of XRP—and even pave the way for potential XRP ETFs. But none of this can move forward without official case closure.

Verdict:
The claim that the Ripple vs SEC case will end this Thursday is based on outdated speculation. As of now, no confirmed dismissal date has been announced—so it’s a false alarm for now.
