After 5 years of battles, the SEC just gave Ripple a pass that lets it raise money like the case never happened.
FROM COURTROOM TO CASH FLOW
Ripple’s legal war with the SEC officially ended this month.
💥 But here’s the twist:
They were still under a permanent injunction blocking them from using Regulation D — the shortcut to raising private capital without full SEC registration.
That roadblock? Gone.
2️⃣ THE “GOOD CAUSE” WAIVER
On Friday, the SEC granted Ripple a special waiver — citing “good cause” — to bypass Reg D restrictions.
🔹Translation: Ripple can now raise private capital from accredited investors… freely.
No full registration. No months of filings. Just straight fundraising fuel. 💸
3️⃣ HOW THEY PULLED IT OFF
This wasn’t random generosity.
The SEC agreed to dissolve the injunction back in May as part of the settlement — but the district court denied that request.
Now the SEC has done it themselves.
Ex-SEC lawyer Marc Fagel calls it:
“A pretty blatant FU to the court.”
4️⃣ WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS FOR RIPPLE
✅ Can raise capital from private investors instantly
✅ No more major fundraising bottlenecks
✅ More fuel for XRP ecosystem, RLUSD stablecoin, and global partnerships
The injunction stays on paper — but in practice, it’s defanged.
5️⃣ ENTER ELIZABETH WARREN
While Ripple scored a win, crypto’s fiercest critic is loading her next shot.
Senator Warren is demanding tougher market structure rules as Congress returns in September.
Her wishlist:
• 🚫 Ban elected officials from trading crypto
• 🛡 Stronger consumer protections
• ⚠️ Limit crypto’s “ability to blow up the economy”
6️⃣ THE GENIUS ACT SHADOW
She didn’t attack the newly passed GENIUS Act — but said it didn’t go far enough.
👀 Her focus? Stablecoins, corruption risks, and locking in strict safeguards before the next boom cycle.
Some see this as Warren accepting that crypto legislation is now inevitable — the question is how tough it will be.
7️⃣ FINAL WORD
📜 “The SEC cloud is gone. The capital doors are open.”
Ripple just got a fundraising superpower — and Washington is already sharpening its knives for the next round.
