Whether or not the SEC appeals, depends on what is actually happening behind the scenes.
Option 1:
There are two sides.
Side A is Ripple and their allies.
Fintech trying to replace the old monetary order, along with some key parts of the old monetary order joining Ripple's side.
Side B is JP Morgan Chase and their allies.
Large parts of the old monetary order wants to keep their total control.
Jay Clayton, Bill Hinman, and Gary Gensler's jobs are to delay and hinder Ripple and XRP.
Delay them long enough for Chase to finish developing their rival solution to XRP: JPM Coin.
A solution that will never be available to the public to buy.
A solution that they will try to force on all other banks.
Other banks will resist, but JP Morgan Chase and their allies are planning a banking collapse (Cyber Pandemic), where they will be able to absorb most of the other banks.
If they own the majority of banks, they can just force everyone to use their solution.
Gary Gensler will file an appeal on October 7th, at the last possible minute.
Gary's masters don't care about winning the appeal; they just need him to buy time with delays until Cyber Pandemic.
Option 2:
There is only one side, and this is all a show.
Global liquidity crisis is all teed up and ready to go.
Everything is set behind the scenes; or close enough to everything.
The lawsuit and delays, were meant to buy time to setup the new financial system.
Gary Gensler will not file an appeal and the lawsuit will officially be over.
Cyber pandemic or hyperinflation hits this year, or next.
After it's over, CBDCs are instituted to replace the US dollar and pretty much every other currency.
XRP chosen as the international neutral bridge currency by world governments.
XRP moons overnight.
Or, we may instead see multiple smaller moons in stages from:
SEC not appealing.
RLUSD
US Congress passing crypto regulation.
ISO20022 being fully implemented November 2025
XRP becoming international neutral bridge currency.
