According to ShibDaily, the global interbank network SWIFT is reportedly considering the integration of Ripple's XRP Ledger into its systems, a move that could signify a major advancement in the fusion of blockchain technology with traditional financial systems. Crypto analyst John Squire has highlighted increasing speculation within the digital asset community about a potential announcement from SWIFT. Squire noted that several influential figures have suggested that SWIFT might soon officially announce the incorporation of Ripple's XRP into its international payment framework. The dates April 16 and April 21 are being viewed as potentially pivotal in XRP's history, not due to hype, but because of the context, data, and a narrative that has been developing over the years.

Squire pointed out that SWIFT recently released a report discussing the integration of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), with Ripple being mentioned. He questioned whether the proximity of these dates is merely coincidental or part of a strategic plan to transition from one phase to another. Ripple has been expanding its presence in traditional finance, highlighted by its $1.25 billion acquisition of the global prime brokerage platform Hidden Road and the introduction of its stablecoin, RLUSD. These developments have fueled speculation about a potential partnership with SWIFT, as Ripple's role in connecting blockchain technology with established financial systems continues to grow.

This speculation follows a significant legal development for Ripple. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has indicated its intention to dismiss the remaining claims in its long-standing lawsuit against Ripple. This case, which began in 2020, focused on whether the sale of XRP was an unregistered securities offering. The potential resolution of this legal battle marks a crucial turning point for Ripple, which had been overshadowed by the lawsuit. With the SEC stepping back, Ripple is regaining momentum, and the timing of this legal breakthrough alongside renewed partnership rumors is generating optimism among industry observers. There is hope that Ripple may finally achieve the regulatory clarity needed to secure major collaborations, possibly even with established entities like SWIFT.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse hasreacted to the SEC's surprising decision to drop the Coinbase case, claiming that the agency is now moving on "quickly" from the policies of the previous administration.

"Suffice it to say (as I know there are lots of impatient people, including me!), this SEC has demonstrated a clear interest in moving on quickly (!) from the failed regulation by enforcement policies of the last Administration," he said.

Asreported by U.Today, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced that the agency would drop the case against the leading US exchange. Notably, the trading platform will not have to pay even a symbolic fine or offer any concessions.

Attorney Jeremy Hogan has also noted that the case was actually dismissed with prejudice, meaning that it can be refiled at a later date.

"I guess this SEC is not waiting for Atkins to be confirmed before making big crypto moves," he said.

Even though the new SEC administration was expected to adopt a much friendlier stance toward crypto, the decision still caught a lot of industry participants by surprise.

Is Ripple next in line?

As reported by U.Today, former SEC official John Reed Stark has also predicted that the appeal against Ripple would be withdrawn in the near future.

This prediction has been echoed by Hogan. The legal analyst believes that the much-talked-about case will be dropped "soon."

It ispossible that the SEC has yet to drop the Ripple case due to the fact that it is prioritizing cases with imminent deadlines. The SEC filed its opening brief last month. Ripple has also asked the court to file its cross-appeal brief by Apr. 16.
