🚨 HISTORIC! Ripple and SEC close legal battle after 5 years: $XRP is NOT a security in retail sales
After a final agreement between Ripple Labs and the SEC, both parties withdrew their appeals, ending the legal war that paralyzed the ecosystem. The Court had already ruled in 2023 that XRP is not a security in retail sales, but now the definitive peace is confirmed.
🔑 What this means:
✅ Strategic victory for Ripple: Institutional sales will require registrations, but 99% of XRP usage (exchanges, wallets, payments) operates freely.
✅ Certainty for exchanges: Binance, Coinbase, and others can list XRP without fear of reprisals.
✅ Global precedent: Reinforces that native cryptos are not securities "per se".
📈 Impact on XRP:
- Immediate relief for holders (price +18% in 7 days).
- Banks and partners like Santander or MoneyGram could accelerate adoption.
- $200M fund from Ripple to expand use cases in cross-border payments.
⚠️ Key lesson:
"Regulation by enforcement failed. The U.S. needs clear laws, not lawsuits". Brad Garlinghouse (CEO of Ripple) summarizes it: "The industry won".
🌍 Domino effect:
- Cases against Coinbase and Binance could weaken.
- Projects like ADA, SOL, and MATIC breathe a sigh of relief.
