The ongoing legal battle involving XRP Coin is nearing its conclusion, albeit with a few procedural hurdles still to overcome. Recently, James K. Filan announced an update concerning the Southern District of New York Federal Court’s decision, overseen by Judge Analisa Torres, scheduled for May 15, 2025. Crypto enthusiasts eagerly monitor every update amidst concerns over potential disruptions in the process. Yet, the situation remains stable. What does today’s development entail, particularly regarding Ethereum (ETH) 
$2,475 and Avalanche (AVAX) price projections?
Ripple’s Setback
James K. Filan, a keen observer of the XRP Coin lawsuit for years, referred to a recent court order. Ripple 
$1 and the SEC had initially filed for “settlement approval” before the final judgment. This motion, framed under Rule 62.1, was rejected when it addressed a final judgment request under Rule 60. This procedural stepback reflects the court’s dissatisfaction with the settlement approach, yet it remains resolvable through documentation adjustments.
Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty clarified that the recent decision doesn’t alter Ripple’s legal gains, affirming XRP is not a security. The court’s concerns are procedural, specifically dismissing Ripple’s cross-appeal due to procedural issues, not substantive legal findings. Both Ripple and SEC remain aligned in resolving the case with the court’s collaboration.
Influenced by Bitcoin 
$78,415‘s price volatility, XRP Coin’s price is teetering around $2.3. While currently above $2.45, it could revert to $2.58, yet there’s no catalyst for a significant price breakout as the weekend looms, implying low volumes may lead to a downturn.
Ethereum and Avalanche Price Forecast
Ethereum faces critical resistance at $2,700, underscoring the alts’ recent weakness as this barrier persists. However, considering its 50% sharp increase from $1,700, the current pause doesn’t seem overly concerning. As long as it maintains above $2,420, it can potentially target $3,000, but dipping below this support could unfavorably impact altcoins.
Avalanche attempted to break out this week but faced pressure from profit-takers. The resistance around $27 remains unbreached with strong sell-offs limiting advancement. Maintaining support at $22 is crucial as it indicates solidity in the current trend.
