⚖️ 1. Garlinghouse's "We Left the Case Behind" Message
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse made a historic statement regarding the SEC situation, which has been in existence for 4 years and is a permanent big smoke screen period for crypto money. Speaking on the social media platform X, Garlinghouse used the following statements:
"As Ripple, we are withdrawing our cross-claim application. The #SEC will also withdraw its own request as previously created."
This statement had a great impact on the markets. The "end of the case" sign, long awaited by investors, caused a sudden jump of 4.8% in the price of $XRP . The token climbed for 2.19, showing one of the strongest daily performances in recent weeks.
🏛️ 2. Court Rejects Joint Request: No Reduction in Fine
The joint payment to reduce the fine of 125 million by Ripple and SEC and to consider #XRP institutional sales as securities was rejected by Judge Analisa Torres.
Judge Torres argued that Ripple’s past stance was “vulnerable to coercion,” and that the reduction could pave the way for new violations.
Ripple Legal Director Stuart Alderoty emphasized the following important point:
“The legal status of XRP’s security has not changed. No matter what decision is made, that will remain true.”
💹 3. XRP Price Direction Up
Following the announcement, XRP has largely been relieved of the “legal performance risk” it carries, especially among US investors. This development could trigger institutional companies and large capital to turn to XRP again.
Daily drop: 4.8%
Price: $2.19
Market Volume: Increasing
Resistance Points: $2.40 and $2.72
Mid-term target: $3.00 psychological limit

🔮 5. Looking Ahead: A New Era Begins for XRP
The end of the SEC lawsuit paves the way for XRP’s institutional adoption in the US again. These developments, combined with the institutional infrastructure support of XRP Ledger 2.5.0, do not keep XRP at the forefront of the new bull mode.
In the words of Brad Garlinghouse:
“We are now focused on building the Internet of Value.”
This vision outlines the completion of the goal of making XRP not just a cryptocurrency, but the central backbone of global value transfer.
📌 Conclusion:
These developments, which are happening simultaneously both technically and legally for Ripple and XRP, mean a new era for developments and developers.
With the end of the case, the “regulatory pressure” on XRP is removed, while the institutional transformation in the XRP Ledger may support this rise.
The next pause for XRP: Could it be a new all-time high?
