My opinion on the end of the Ripple vs SEC case
What happened today is not just the end of a court case. It is the symbolic closure of an era defined by regulatory pressure, media-driven FUD, and a desperate attempt to destroy one of the most battle-tested assets in cryptocurrency: the $XRP
The SEC tried everything. They wanted to make Ripple an example. To delegitimize the project, intimidate its supporters, and slow down a protocol created to challenge traditional finance. But they failed.
The outcome? Ripple pays $50 million, recovers the remaining funds under custody, and the injunction is suspended. No appeals. No victory return for the SEC. Just a quiet withdrawal.
