A US judge denied a joint request from the SEC and Ripple seeking to reduce the $125 million fine imposed on Ripple and to revoke an injunction. The court stated that the request did not meet the strict legal standards required to modify a final judgment. The decision keeps Ripple bound to the 2024 fine for unregistered XRP sales. Ripple claims that the issue was procedural and that both parties plan to re-examine the matter with the court.
