📢 Ripple Lawyer: “U.S. won’t seize XRP” + Fine to be paid in USD 💵

Rumors have been circulating that U.S. authorities could seize Ripple’s full XRP escrow holdings — but Ripple shuts it down:

Attorney Bill Morgan: “No, it won’t.”

What’s going on?

Analyst John Squire suggested the government might repurpose Ripple’s escrow for national reserves.

A validator described a technical way to reassign the escrow — but Ripple engineer Mayukha Vadari confirmed: it’s an all-or-nothing method, and not practical.

Legally, seizure requires criminal conduct or national security risks — Ripple’s SEC case is civil, not criminal.

💰 What about the $50M fine?

Ripple will pay it in USD, not XRP — avoiding any extra selling pressure on the token and sticking to standard settlement procedures.

✅ Ripple retains control of its ~50B XRP escrow, with monthly releases continuing as usual.

👉 Bottom line: No seizure. No panic. XRP is safe — and the fine is being paid in fiat.

Just buy and HODL your XRP guys 🚀
