The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could be extended until 2026 if an appeal is filed. This potential delay is casting uncertainty on XRP's potential rise to $1. Both Ripple and the SEC have a 60-day window to file any appeals following the final judgment.
Legal expert Jeremy Hogan has recently discussed the possible outcomes and ramifications if the SEC decides to appeal the recent rulings. The SEC has not yet indicated whether it will pursue an appeal, leaving the future of Ripple and XRP in a state of flux.
