Ripple vs. SEC Nears Crucial Turning Point

The long-standing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is approaching a decisive moment. A closed-door SEC meeting scheduled for today, May 8, could bring major resolutions. According to the agency’s public calendar, Commissioners—including Chair Paul Atkins—are set to deliberate on enforcement and settlement matters. Among the proposals is the “institution and settlement of injunctive actions,” a category directly relevant to the current status of the Ripple lawsuit.

This meeting could result in a formal vote to lift the injunction limiting Ripple’s institutional XRP sales, reduce Ripple’s $125 million fine, and possibly even withdraw the SEC’s appeal of Judge Analisa Torres’ 2023 ruling on Programmatic Sales. If approved, these outcomes could significantly reshape XRP’s regulatory clarity and renew institutional demand.
