I don't think that the change in presidency will have any impact on this case. SEC is not going to reverse their ruling, irrespective of whoever comes in to the administration. The only option left for XRP is to file an appeal against the ruling, which may take at least a year to process. Whales with large XRP holdings may attempt to do a few pump-and-dump cycles by spreading fake news on social media sites and compromised new sites such as Coin Telegraph, but we should be cautious about it.
