On August 8, 2025, just one day after the lengthy lawsuit with Ripple concluded, the SEC unexpectedly exempted the 'bad actor' disqualification under Rule 506(d), allowing the company to raise funds from institutional investors through the Regulation D exemption.
This move reversed the ban imposed by the ruling in August 2024, paving the way for Ripple to reconnect strategic capital flows from institutional investors. Immediately after the news, the price of XRP rose by 6.5% to $3.31, reflecting positive expectations for the company's development prospects.
