Ripple Considers Paying $50 Million in XRP Fine as Part of Resolution Talks with SEC

Ripple is offering to pay its reduced $50 million fine in XRP.

The SEC has agreed to reduce Ripple's $700 million fine to $50 million. Ripple hopes the XRP payment will strengthen the cryptocurrency's legitimacy.

If approved, this move could signal regulatory change and further bolster XRP's growing institutional momentum.

This comes as Ripple's legal battle with the SEC nears resolution, with the two parties reaching a preliminary settlement agreement.

Ripple's long-running legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appears to be nearing a conclusion.

However, a surprising detail has emerged from the ongoing settlement discussions, which could see Ripple pay its reduced $50 million penalty using its native token, XRP.
