The XRP community is discussing whether the recent one-week extension for filing unredacted versions of cross motions, including the Bill Hinman emails, is part of a larger plan in the Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit.

Both Ripple and the SEC requested the extension due to the extensive nature of the materials. The court's recent decision to deny the SEC's request to seal the Hinman documents has sparked a debate in the crypto market about whether this development could accelerate the Summary Judgement.

However, John Deaton, the attorney representing over 70,000 XRP token holders in the lawsuit, has denied rumors that the SEC is planning to settle with the company.
