This means that, in some sense, Ripple needs the case to continue to obtain a favorable ruling. While it is possible that it could convince the SEC to join it in seeking to vacate Torres’ judgment, it is not obvious that Torres would agree to do so.

Unlike Coinbase, which was still pending pre-dismissal, Ripple reached a final judgment. This means that if the SEC stopped fighting, the outcome would not be a Ripple victory but a $125 million fine and a five-year “bad actor” prohibition on security fundraising that Judge Torres imposed on Ripple.

The truth of the Ripple mystery is that why the case is still pending is unknown. No SEC staff member or Ripple attorney has commented. However, there are a number of possible explanations worth considering.

In light of what is widely perceived as a clientelist White House, all of this suggests that Ripple should be first in line for SEC favor. Yet the case remains unresolved. What could possibly be happening?

While it is impossible to know for sure, it does seem that these gestures have inspired warm feelings among the MAGA inner circle. In February, Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., followed Ripple on X. More recently, on March 2, Trump named XRP as one of five cryptocurrencies to be included in a Strategic Crypto Reserve.

Secondly, Ripple seems to be in the White House’s good graces. Ripple has publicly courted Trump’s favor in recent months. This included a meeting between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Trump in Mar-a-Lago before his inauguration and a reported contribution of $5 million in XRP to Trump’s inauguration fund.

On Jan. 23, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order that pledged to promote the US dollar’s sovereignty, “including through actions to promote the development and growth of lawful and legitimate dollar-backed stablecoins worldwide.” On the other hand, the order banned the development of CBDCs in the US.

Bybit was exploited on Feb. 21 in what has been reported as one of the largest cryptocurrency hacks in history, allegedly orchestrated by North Korea’s Lazarus Group. Despite the attack, Bybit replenished the stolen crypto assets and maintained operations without major disruption.

The crypto industry has provided Bybit with $390 million in emergency liquidity through loans and transfers, including $127 million from Binance-linked whales and $53 million from a single whale wallet, according to Lookonchain.

Trump’s order created a crypto working group led by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks to come up with a legal framework for crypto and stablecoins, along with studying the possible creation of a national crypto stockpile.

“The blame for the Libra memecoin disaster, and other pump-and-dump schemes like it, lies on the shoulders of the regulators, and they are the only ones that can fix this,” The Coin Bureau co-founder founder and CEO Nic Puckrin said in a statement to Cointelegraph.

The surge of fraudulent celebrity and political memecoins is a result of a vacuum created by the lack of regulation by authorities like the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Puckrin argued.

SEC crypto task force head Hester Peirce previously said that memecoin regulation falls outside of the agency’s purview, leaving this matter for Congress and regulators like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The crypto industry, particularly memecoins, needs clear regulation to ensure that token launches are conducted in a fair manner, Puckrin said.

Puckrin mentioned that he’s a major proponent of the original model of initial coin offerings (ICO), which has been effectively abandoned for years due to the SEC’s crackdowns.
