🚨 XRP Lawsuit Update: Ripple’s $125M Penalty Still in Escrow – Here’s What It Really Means

⚖️ Despite viral claims that Ripple has paid its $125M court-ordered penalty to the U.S. Treasury, the reality is more nuanced.

📢 Former SEC attorney Marc Fagel clarified:

◾️ The $125M is deposited, but still sits in escrow controlled by Ripple’s legal counsel

◾️ It will only move to the Treasury once both Ripple and the SEC dismiss their appeals

🚫 No, Ripple did not pay in XRP tokens — another widely circulated myth.

🧑‍⚖️ The May 2023 ruling by Judge Torres is not yet final, as the SEC's appeal remains active.

🇺🇸 This case remains a key precedent for crypto regulation in the U.S. Until the SEC acts and the escrow is released, legal uncertainty around XRP persists — impacting investor confidence, market positioning, and future ETF possibilities.

🔍 Whether you’re in legal, finance, or crypto — this evolving situation is one to watch.
