Breaking: Will Judge Torres Rule on Ripple vs. SEC Today? Pro-XRP Legal Experts Drop Bombshell Predictions

The crypto courtroom drama reaches boiling point as all eyes turn to Judge Analisa Torres. Will today finally deliver clarity—or just more regulatory theater?

Pro-XRP attorneys are split: some see an imminent ruling that could gut the SEC''s case, while others warn of another delay in this $13 billion legal chess match.

One thing''s certain—Wall Street''s watching. After all, nothing spices up a slow trading day like watching regulators trip over their own outdated rulebooks.

The Expert Opinion

The X platform has turned into a battlefield of expert opinions, and some of the most important voices are Bill Morgan, who provides practical analysis. Morgan warned in a June 15, 2025 X post.

He wrote,  “Perhaps you should not hope for that. It only took 7 days for Judge Torres to reject the last joint motion to modify the judgment to reduce the fine and dissolve the injunction. Less than 7 days to decide the current joint motion may not be the best sign she will grant it.” His words resonate with a harsh reality; Torres has been quick to reject, and this could be an indication that the investors should lower their expectations of an approval soon.

However, when the official motion was introduced by both parties, Morgan stated that, “Just reading today’s Ripple and SEC joint motion to judge Torres over lunch. It does not become stronger and more impressive the more you read it. I just have a feeling she’s going to grant the motion anyway.” 

Besides Morgan, advocate Fred Rispoli, a vocal crypto commentator, also showed his disappointment over the latest motion in the June 13 post. He said, “In the newest saga of SEC v. Ripple, I don’t like this filing based on how obvious it was from Judge Torres’ last ruling that she was pissed. I recommended a long, detailed motion explaining the SEC’s failures in crypto regulation (with Commissioner declarations) and some apologies from Ripple for what it got tagged on.”

Rispoli’s critique highlights the filing’s shortcomings: its brevity and lack of contrition while offering a sliver of hope that Torres might clear her docket, tempered by low confidence. On the other side, a user who goes by the name “XRP Governor” on X post claims: “If approved, XRP could rise above $5 quickly.” Such Optimism contrasts sharply with Morgan’s caution, painting a picture of a divided yet engaged community.

What If Scenarios For XRP vs. SEC Final Showdown?

So, what’s at play here? A positive decision would open the door for XRP, and analysts, such as Egrag Crypto, who predict a bullish rally to $7 or even more in the case of resumption of institutional sales. Lifting the injunction would be a regulatory thaw that would improve the IPO prospects of Ripple and give the crypto market a shot in the arm. However, a denial would extend the legal purgatory, which would destroy investor confidence and keep the price of XRP depressed.

Final Thoughts

The Ripple-SEC saga is a turning point in the regulation of cryptocurrencies. Though the joint motion is a promising sign of a solution, the history of rejections by Judge Torres and the doubts of the experts should be taken into consideration. Regardless of whether this is the regulatory emancipation of XRP or the latest episode in the longest-running legal saga in crypto, the ruling will certainly determine the future of the industry and establish key precedents in the enforcement of digital assets.
