As of April 2025, the lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC has basically come to a close. The U.S. Court of Appeals has approved both parties' request to suspend the SEC's appeal process regarding the 2023 ruling, clearly indicating that both sides have reached an agreement. Ripple's legal team revealed that the SEC has decided not to appeal, officially accepting the judge's previous ruling that XRP's circulation on exchanges does not constitute a securities offering.

According to the terms of the agreement, Ripple will pay a $50 million fine (which has previously been held in escrow by a third party), but does not admit to any wrongdoing or illegal activity. This outcome not only marks the end of the case but also represents a significant victory for Ripple in its long-term struggle.
