$XRP On June 12, 2025, Ripple and the U.S. SEC took a big step toward wrapping up their long-running legal fight. They filed a joint request with a New York court to release $125 million that's been sitting in escrow. Here's the plan: $50 million would go to the SEC as a civil penalty, and Ripple would get the remaining $75 million back—if the court gives the green light. This move is part of an effort to lift the restrictions from the August 2024 ruling and avoid dragging things out with more appeals. After nearly five years, it looks like this high-profile case might finally be nearing the finish line. #Ripple #xrp #crypto
