XRP News Today: SEC meeting sparks 56% XRP surge amid 95% ETF approval odds

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to hold a closed meeting on July 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, sparking speculation that it could signal a resolution in its five-year legal battle with Ripple Labs over the XRP cryptocurrency. The XRP community, often referred to as the "XRP Army," is closely monitoring the session, which was disclosed under the Sunshine Act and includes agenda items such as "resolution of litigation claims" and "settlement of injunctive actions" [1]. Ripple’s recent withdrawal of its cross-appeal has intensified expectations that the SEC may also abandon its appeal, potentially concluding the case and providing legal clarity for XRP [1].

The anticipation has been amplified by social media activity from crypto advocates like Amelie, who highlighted the significance of the meeting on X, stating that the SEC’s decision to drop its appeal "would be a game-changer" for XRP [1]. However, skepticism persists among community members. A user known as Shadowlink expressed frustration, noting that similar expectations have repeatedly led to disappointment, with the SEC maintaining strategic silence despite repeated weekly meetings [1]. Others, like XRP Bull Shark, remain optimistic, suggesting the SEC could leverage the "new moon phase" as a symbolic moment to finalize the case, which might trigger a price surge for XRP [1].

The SEC’s agenda, revealed in a July 17, 2025, Sunshine Act notice, includes considerations related to enforcement proceedings and litigation settlements [1]. While these items align with the possibility of resolving the Ripple case, the agency has yet to issue a public update on its position. The closed nature of the meeting, permitted under the Sunshine Act for sensitive matters like pending litigation, means no immediate statement is guaranteed [1]. Market observers and XRP holders are now tracking the SEC’s website and public filings for post-meeting updates [1].

If the SEC does withdraw its appeal, the outcome could have broader implications for the crypto market. XRP has surged 56% in July 2025 amid growing hopes for regulatory clarity, with some analysts suggesting a favorable resolution could boost institutional adoption and accelerate approval of XRP-related ETFs [7]. Institutional sentiment reports indicate a 95–98% probability of XRP ETF approval, driven by reduced legal opposition from the SEC and increasing interest from traditional financial players [5]. However, price volatility remains a factor, with XRP experiencing a 10.34% drop in recent sessions—seen by some as a temporary correction rather than a bearish trend [2].

The timeline for a resolution remains uncertain. While August 15 is the procedural deadline for a joint status report between Ripple and the SEC, analysts emphasize this is not a settlement trigger but a routine administrative requirement [8]. Some have dismissed the August date as a "rumor," reiterating that today’s SEC decision is the most immediate catalyst [8]. If the case concludes, XRP could see renewed upward momentum, though price targets like $20 by 2025 and $5 within two years remain speculative and attributed to forecasters rather than concrete data [6].

The resolution of the Ripple-SEC case could also set a precedent for how regulators handle digital assets, potentially influencing decisions on spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. For now, the XRP Army and institutional investors alike await the SEC’s response, with today’s closed meeting representing the latest chapter in a legal saga that has defined the crypto landscape for over five years [3].
