Ripple Nears Victory as SEC Lawsuit Winds Down — XRP Gains Regulatory Clarity
Ripple Labs is on the verge of resolving its prolonged legal clash with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking a pivotal moment in crypto regulation. Under the proposed settlement, Ripple has agreed to pay a reduced fine of $50 million. In a major breakthrough, the SEC has also formally stated that XRP is not considered a security when traded on public exchanges.
This decision sets XRP apart as the only cryptocurrency in the U.S. with explicit regulatory clarity, sparking renewed optimism among investors and potentially reshaping the digital asset landscape.
