Jeremy Hogan, prominent legal expert, has recently taken to social media to share his view on what the SEC's chances are for a final win in its dispute with Ripple. According to Hogan's , the regulator's odds of winning are as small as 2.367%. "Same odds as the Jets winning the Super Bowl!" joked the attorney.

First, even if the SEC opts for an appeal next year and the appellate court sides with it in 2025, it does not mean the end of the case, as the appellate court would need to send the case back to the trial judge for more detailed judicial evaluations. Hogan adds that after the trial court renews these determinations, an ensuing appeal would be necessary, and only after that, the SEC could win. However, even in this case, Ripple would still be able to appeal to the Supreme Court.
