Excellent news for XRP HOLDERS!!!
Ripple's legal director posted on his X account:
The final crossing of the t's and the dotting of the i's – and this should be my last update on SEC v Ripple…
Last week, the SEC agreed to drop its appeal unconditionally. @Ripple has now agreed to drop its incidental appeal. The SEC will retain $50 million of the $125 million in fines (already held in interest-bearing cash), with the balance being returned to Ripple. The agency will also ask the Court to lift the standard injunction previously imposed at the SEC's request. All of this is subject to a vote by the Commission, the drafting of final documents, and standard judicial procedures.
