In a joint letter submitted to Federal Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District of New York by both parties, the "prospect for settlement" looks thin at the moment, although a change of heart was not ruled out.
Settlement prospects
Previous discussions of a possible settlement have proved futile, per the joint letter.“Counsel for both parties have met and conferred and, having previously discussed settlement, do not believe that there is a prospect for settlement at this time,” reads the letter.
In early January, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse addressed questions related to the lawsuit.
Without getting into specifics, he said the company tried to settle with the SEC but to no avail. He highlighted that they will try to settle with the new administration to resolve the matter.
The letter also notes that the previous settlement discussions were held under a previous administration and the key players in the discussions are no longer part of the securities regulator.
“Defendants agree with the statement, but note that previous settlement discussions took place under a previous administration and were principally with relevant division directors who have since left the SEC.”The letter did not rule the possibility of the parties involved settling.
“However, the parties will promptly notify the Court if any settlement in principle is reached as to any Defendant,” reads the letter.
The case is on till at least August
The case is likely to drag on and will not be over until at least Aug. 16 this year when “all discovery shall be completed.”The SEC filed a lawsuit against the blockchain firm in December 2020 for allegedly holding an unregistered securities token sale.
Ripple insists that XRP is a currency and not a security because there was no “investment contract involved.”
The pretrial conference for the landmark case is set for Feb. 22.
Hopes lie on a new administration
Ripple’s action has shown that the company hopes that the new administration will be more receptive to the cryptocurrency industry, and lenient towards the company.President Joe Biden’s top pick to chair the SEC, Gary Gensler, said that there are several unregistered securities like Ripple’s XRP token.
Before the SEC filed for the lawsuit, Ripple threatened to leave the U.S. due to regulatory uncertainties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
