According to the latest court documents, Ripple and the U.S. SEC jointly request the court to approve the settlement plan, lift the injunction against Ripple, and pay 50 million dollars of the 125 million dollar fine to the SEC, with the remaining 75 million dollars returned to Ripple. Both parties cited a significant recent shift in the SEC's stance on cryptocurrency regulation in the documents, believing that there are 'special circumstances' that support modifying the judgment to end this lawsuit that has lasted nearly five years.
