SEC

The legal confrontation between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has taken a significant turn following new legal interpretations of a recently issued court order.
According to Fred Risepoli, an attorney closely monitoring the case, the temporary restraining order issued by the court specifically relates to sales.

Ripple and the SEC have been engaged in a legal dispute for years, and despite joint attempts to end the battle, it is still not over.
In 2020, the SEC charged Ripple and two executives with conducting an unregistered securities offering worth $1.3 billion in its sales of $XRP

Closure of the case#Ripple and#SEC : Is the launch of an investment fund for $XRP imminent?
After years of intense legal dispute between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ripple announced on June 27, 2025, that it was withdrawing its cross-appeal in the case, officially ending the legal battle by paying a civil fine of $125 million. This significant development removed the regulatory uncertainty that was hindering the progress of XRP, the digital currency associated with Ripple, and opened the door to new investment opportunities, notably the growing expectations surrounding the launch of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for XRP.

#Solana and #Ethereum equipped with #Staking soon in trading
The first exchange-traded funds (#ETFs ) that will track cryptocurrency prices and provide investors with investment returns will soon start trading in the United States.
These new funds, to be launched by REX Shares and Osprey Funds, are on track for approval after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (#SEC ) completed its comments.

On June 27, 2025, Ripple Labs announced the withdrawal of its cross-appeal in the lengthy legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This led to a price increase of $XRP by 5%, reaching approximately $2.20. The decision came after Judge Analisa Torres denied a joint motion to reduce Ripple's $125 million penalty and lift restrictions on institutional XRP sales on June 26. By withdrawing the appeal, Ripple agrees with the court's 2023 ruling that XRP is not a security in sales on public exchanges, although institutional sales remain restricted. The SEC is also expected to drop its appeal, which could conclude this high-profile case.

⚖️ 1. Garlinghouse's "We Left the Case Behind" Message
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse made a historic statement regarding the SEC situation, which has been in existence for 4 years and is a permanent big smoke screen period for crypto money. Speaking on the social media platform X, Garlinghouse used the following statements:
"As Ripple, we are withdrawing our cross-claim application. The #SEC will also withdraw its own request as previously created."
This statement had a great impact on the markets. The "end of the case" sign, long awaited by investors, caused a sudden jump of 4.8% in the price of $XRP . The token climbed for 2.19, showing one of the strongest daily performances in recent weeks.
🏛️ 2. Court Rejects Joint Request: No Reduction in Fine
The joint payment to reduce the fine of 125 million by Ripple and SEC and to consider #XRP institutional sales as securities was rejected by Judge Analisa Torres.
Judge Torres argued that Ripple’s past stance was “vulnerable to coercion,” and that the reduction could pave the way for new violations.
Ripple Legal Director Stuart Alderoty emphasized the following important point:
“The legal status of XRP’s security has not changed. No matter what decision is made, that will remain true.”
💹 3. XRP Price Direction Up
Following the announcement, XRP has largely been relieved of the “legal performance risk” it carries, especially among US investors. This development could trigger institutional companies and large capital to turn to XRP again.
Daily drop: 4.8%
Price: $2.19
Market Volume: Increasing
Resistance Points: $2.40 and $2.72
Mid-term target: $3.00 psychological limit

🔮 5. Looking Ahead: A New Era Begins for XRP
The end of the SEC lawsuit paves the way for XRP’s institutional adoption in the US again. These developments, combined with the institutional infrastructure support of XRP Ledger 2.5.0, do not keep XRP at the forefront of the new bull mode.
In the words of Brad Garlinghouse:
“We are now focused on building the Internet of Value.”
This vision outlines the completion of the goal of making XRP not just a cryptocurrency, but the central backbone of global value transfer.
📌 Conclusion:
These developments, which are happening simultaneously both technically and legally for Ripple and XRP, mean a new era for developments and developers.
With the end of the case, the “regulatory pressure” on XRP is removed, while the institutional transformation in the XRP Ledger may support this rise.
The next pause for XRP: Could it be a new all-time high?

Have you heard that Ripple has finally withdrawn its appeal against the SEC and agreed to a $125 million fine? This event was the culmination of a multi-year legal dispute that began back in 2019. If you've been following this case, you probably realize that it wasn't just a legal battle — it had big implications for the cryptocurrency market, especially for XRP.
Why did this happen?
First, let's refresh our memory a bit. The SEC has accused Ripple that their XRP cryptocurrency is an unregistered security. If the court had found this to be true, Ripple could have faced huge fines and problems in the United States, the largest cryptocurrency market. For several years, Ripple has disputed these allegations, claiming that XRP is not a security, but simply a cryptocurrency like bitcoin or ethereum.
How will it end?
Ripple has now agreed with the court's decision and withdrawn its appeal. This means they are ending the legal saga with the SEC by paying a $125 million fine. Brad Garlinghouse, the company's CEO, said that this decision allows Ripple to "close this chapter." Of course, it was not an easy victory, but at this stage the company preferred to focus on the future rather than continue lengthy litigation.
Importantly, this decision does not affect retail sales of XRP. That is, for ordinary users and investors, cryptocurrency is still not considered a security, which gives legal certainty for trading and using XRP.
What does this mean for the cryptocurrency market?
For the crypto community, this decision has several important aspects. First, it highlights the importance of legal certainty for cryptocurrencies. It seems that Ripple has won in terms of retail transactions with XRP, and the market can safely continue to work with this currency. But with sales to large institutional investors, the company will now work under stricter control.
Nevertheless, cautious optimism prevails in cryptocurrency forums and communities. Not everyone is confident that the process is complete until all court orders are finally confirmed. Therefore, it is important to monitor the development of events.
What will happen to XRP?
At the moment, XRP is trading at a price of $2.20, and its market capitalization is about $130 billion. This indicates that interest in XRP is not fading, despite all this legal conflict. Of course, trading volumes dropped by 12%, but the price still increased slightly. The question is how the situation will develop in the future.
Now that all this is over, do you still have a feeling that Ripple will completely get away with it, or could new legal obstacles still arise in the market?
