$XRP update – The courtroom drama is almost over… or is it? ⚖️
After 4 long years of ups, downs, and legal limbo — Ripple and the SEC finally reached a settlement.
The fine? Slashed from $125M to just $50M.
The rest? Being refunded. Yup, they’re getting money back.
But just when we thought it was over…
Judge Torres rejected the proposed settlement, citing that it was “procedurally improper.”
A technical bump — but nothing that stops this train.
Here’s what still matters:
• In 2023, the court ruled that XRP sold on exchanges is not a security — a huge win.
• Ripple only got flagged for institutional sales (worth $728M), and they’re working to close that chapter.
• Despite the setback, both Ripple and SEC are preparing to refile the agreement properly.
Even the SEC isn’t fully on the same page:
Commissioner Crenshaw criticized the deal, saying it “damages the law” —
but hey, this is a new SEC under a pro-crypto shift (thanks to Trump-era regulators).
$XRP initially pumped +7% on the news of the deal…
Then dropped ~6% after the judge’s rejection — but that’s just noise. The fundamentals haven’t changed.
Once regulation is clear — money flows where there’s certainty.
And Ripple’s fight is setting that clarity for the entire space.
I’ve held through FUD, delays, and headlines like this…
Still here. Still building. Still believing.
What about you?
