The Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit appears to be nearing its final stages, but the path is not yet clear. Although Ripple officially withdrew its cross-appeal in June and fulfilled its $125 million penalty obligation, the SEC has yet to do the same.  This case has dwelled long in the minds of the members of the XRP community, and most recently, pro-XRP attorney Bill Morgan commented that while there is technically no hard deadline for the SEC to withdraw, a key date is now fast approaching. No Deadline, But the Clock Is Ticking According to pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan, August 15, 2025, serves as a procedural checkpoint for both Ripple and the SEC on their legal standoff. This is because they are required to submit a joint status report to the appellate court on that date, effectively making it the moment when the SEC will be expected to show its hand.  Related Reading: Ripple Vs. SEC Battle At An End? What An Appeal Dismissal In August Would Mean For XRP Although the regulatory agency is under no legal obligation to dismiss its appeal by then, the deadline is a trigger for action, or at the very least, a formal update. He wrote that “the SEC needs to report to the appeal court by 15 August 2025, which acts as a deadline… although it may just ask for more time.” This delay has left the XRP community in a holding pattern since October 2024, when the SEC filed a notice of appeal on Judge Torres’ ruling. The major consensus is that the SEC would follow Ripple’s lead of dropping its cross-appeal.  What Happens If The SEC Withdraws Or Doesn’t? The longer the SEC remains silent, the more uncertainty clouds the path forward, despite growing consensus that Judge Torres’s ruling in July 2023, which declared XRP not a security in secondary market trading to retailers, should now be finalized. The appeal has essentially allowed the case to drag on for two more years. Related Reading: Pro-Ripple Lawyer Reveals What The SEC Filing By Wellgistics Health Means For XRP If the SEC withdraws its appeal in the coming days, that action will cement the May 2023 ruling as final. This would not only end the multi-year legal battle but also unlock several long-awaited market developments.  As noted by crypto commentator Vincent Van Code, over 1,700 companies tied to Ripple through NDAs may finally reveal partnerships and projects built on the XRP Ledger. Furthermore, legal clarity would also pave the way for institutional-grade products like Spot XRP ETFs waiting for approval, which in turn would cause a rapid increase in the price of XRP. However, if the SEC requests more time on or around August 15, it could delay this next phase of XRP’s growth and continue to keep XRP’s regulatory status in limbo. Although such a move wouldn’t reverse any legal victories Ripple has secured, it would prolong the uncertainty that is restraining confidence among investors.

A sudden crash in the TICS token has shaken confidence in Qubetics, the blockchain project that promised to bring together Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana networks. Based on reports, the token plunged 97% after a failed airdrop launch. Investors who hoped for quick gains were left scrambling to understand what went wrong on July 30 and 31. Related Reading: XRP Traders Pull Back $2.4B—Brace For Impact Or Buy The Dip? Technical Glitch Sparks Token Collapse According to Qubetics’ own statement, a “critical error” hit the vesting contract during the live airdrop. The plan was to unlock 10% of tokens right away and then release 90% over the next 90 days at a rate of 1% per day. At first, TICS surged 950% to hit $2.16. But once users saw far less than their expected share—some got only 1% instead of 10%—selling pressure kicked in hard. By the end of Thursday, the price had tumbled almost back to zero. The initial 10% of your $TICS tokens has been successfully distributed. The remaining 90% will be released gradually, with 1% delivered daily over the next 90 days. To successfully interact with your TICS tokens, it is essential to add the Qubetics custom network to your wallet.… pic.twitter.com/IR22LHAiXD — QUBETICS (@qubetics) July 31, 2025 Within hours, community forums lit up with cries of foul play. Many wallets showed a fraction of what they should have received. Heavy sell-offs by early holders made matters worse. Based on reports, the token’s crash was as much about panic selling as it was about the initial coding mistake. Community Accusations Grow Loud Rumors swirled that presale investors once bought in at $0.33 per token, with promises of a 20% bump on listing day. Instead, TICS opened its trading at $0.19 on July 24 and then slipped to $0.06 within a week. Some users accused the team of holding back tokens, while others claimed insiders dumped large amounts on the market. On X, dozens of comments called Qubetics “scammers” and accused the team of a “rug-pull.” Related Reading: Don’t Blink: 1,000 XRP Could Be The Best Move You’ve Made—Expert Team Promises Full Distribution In response, Qubetics said it will issue a full report on the mishap and ensure all eligible wallets get their full allocation. They stressed that the error came from Antier, the outside firm handling smart contracts, not the core team. The announcement reaffirmed their commitment to build a layer-1 network that aggregates the Web3 ecosystem. Roadmap items include cross-chain bridges and on-chain governance tools. Even now, the team insists that long-term holders will see value once the tokens flow correctly and the network goes live. It’s a big “if” for many investors, but Qubetics said it is sticking to its plan. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
