On May 9, 2025, the XRP currency experienced a notable increase in price, trading at around $2.35, marking an increase of 8.5% over the past twenty-four hours. This rise follows Ripple's settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which ended a legal battle that began in December 2020. The settlement includes a $50 million fine paid by Ripple and the return of $75 million in previously deposited funds.
