Yes, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has withdrawn its appeal in the long-running lawsuit against Ripple Labs involving XRP. On August 7, 2025, both parties jointly filed to dismiss their respective appeals in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, effectively ending the nearly four-year legal battle.
This leaves the 2023 district court ruling intact, which determined that XRP is not a security in secondary market sales, though Ripple was fined $125 million for certain institutional sales.
The news triggered a surge in XRP's price, with gains of over 13% reported in the immediate aftermath. Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, confirmed the development, stating it's "the end" of the case. No further action from Judge Analisa Torres is required, as the appeals' dismissal finalizes the matter.
