XRP Settlement Secured, Eyes on ETF Future
As of April 26, 2025, XRP is trading at $2.20, up 0.46% on the day, with an intraday high of $2.24.
Big news hit the XRP community last month: Ripple Labs officially settled with the U.S. SEC on March 25, agreeing to a reduced fine of $50 million down from the original $125 million. This landmark resolution ends a years-long legal battle and solidifies that XRP tokens sold on public exchanges are not securities.
Despite this win, XRP slipped to $2.39 in late March, hinting that markets had priced in the settlement. Now, all eyes are on potential new catalysts: the long-rumoured XRP ETF and whispers of XRP being considered for U.S. government crypto reserves.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse remains bullish, declaring that an XRP ETF is “inevitable,” setting the stage for potential mainstream adoption.
With major hurdles cleared, XRP next chapter is just beginning. Stay tuned this could get exciting.
