🔍 Ripple Lawsuit Again? Here’s What Crypto Law Experts Say
Recent discussions in the crypto community have raised questions about whether Ripple (XRP) could face another lawsuit from the U.S. SEC.
The debate started after U.S. House Democrats criticized the SEC for dropping several high-profile crypto cases, including Ripple. Some lawmakers suggested that political influence may have played a role in those decisions, which led to speculation that the SEC could be pressured to reopen cases.
⚖️ Why Reopening the Ripple Case Is Unlikely
Well-known crypto legal analyst Bill Morgan has firmly dismissed this possibility. According to him, U.S. law prevents the SEC from reopening cases that have already been resolved in court.
The key reason is a legal principle called Res Judicata — meaning:
Once a court has made a final decision on a matter, the same parties cannot litigate the same issue again.
Because the Ripple case has already reached a legal conclusion, the SEC cannot legally pursue Ripple again on the same grounds, regardless of political pressure or criticism.
📌 Ripple’s Long Legal Journey
The SEC filed its lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020, claiming XRP was an unregistered security.
After years of legal battles, a landmark court ruling in 2023 favored Ripple.
The case officially wrapped up in 2025, allowing Ripple to shift full focus toward business expansion.
🏦 Other Crypto Firms Mentioned Lawmakers also referenced companies such as Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Robinhood, and Crypto.com, but legal experts note that finalized cases are protected under the same legal doctrine.
🧠 Bottom Line Despite renewed political noise, the Ripple case is legally closed, and existing court decisions cannot simply be undone.
