Could the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit finally be settled by December 15? The crypto world is buzzing with speculation, fueled in part by comments from Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. The Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit is ongoing for close to two years right now, and its resolution will have significant implications for the entire cryptocurrency market.

The lawsuit, which Ripple has been fighting a legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) since 2025 to prove that XRP should not be classified as a security, has been a long and arduous process. But is the end in sight? Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has commented on the possible date for settling the case between the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and blockchain firm, adding fuel to the already burning fire of rumour and speculation.

The lawsuit took a series of turns over the years and speculations are rife that it’s nearing the final. Adding to the intrigue, On December 10, Cardano founder disclosed to over 44k Youtube audience during an ask-me-anything session he heard rumours that the ongoing Ripple and SEC lawsuit might be resolved soon. While Hoskinson's comments are based on rumours, they highlight the widespread anticipation surrounding a potential settlement.

While some predict a complete victory for Ripple, and others foresee a harsh SEC penalty, a settlement remains a strong possibility. A hypothetical scenario occurred where Ripple and the SEC finally settled their long-running legal battle on, agreeing to a $50 million deal. The deal was followed after months of appeals and although not real, illustrates the market's volatility when the case eventually concludes. Many factors could contribute to a potential agreement by December 15, including the desire of both parties to avoid further legal costs and uncertainties.

The crypto community continues to watch closely, eager to see if Hoskinson's rumoured timeline proves accurate and if the long-standing Ripple vs SEC saga will finally reach its conclusion.
