In the latest development in the Ripple vs SEC case, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a status report requesting the appeals court to hold the appeals. The status report was filed pursuant to an earlier order to hold appeals after parties reached an agreement to resolve the XRP lawsuit.
Lawyer James K Filan, in an X post on June 17, revealed that the SEC has requested the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to pause appeals. This is in light of the pending motion for an indicative ruling in the district court.
Now, the SEC will file another status report in the 2nd Circuit by August 15, delaying the long-running lawsuit further. Lawyers have expected to hear from Judge Analisa Torres in a few days on the parties’ request to lift the injunction and reduce the penalty to $50 million.

— James K. Filan 🇺🇸🇮🇪 (@FilanLaw) June 17, 2025 On June 12, Ripple and the SEC renewed their indicative ruling to dissolve the injunction in the Final Judgment and release $50 million from the $125,035,150 civil penalty held in the escrow account to the SEC and the remaining amount to Ripple.
The settlement, the SEC’s shift in crypto policy, and a desire to avoid further litigation were given as reasons to modify a final judgment, which is what Rule 60 calls for in exceptional circumstances.
The timeline for resolution of the XRP lawsuit depends on how Judge Torres responds to the new Indicative Ruling under Rule 60, said legal expert Sherrie. She added, “Either we get an answer this Thursday or perhaps next week.”
Notably, the resolution of the lawsuit could bring a rally in XRP price and clarity for the SEC to approve XRP ETF, currently pending before the regulator. At present, the price of XRP is trading at $2.24, with almost a 4% increase in the last 24 hours. #BombieBinanceTGE #BinanceAlphaAlert #越南加密政策 $BTC $SOL

Ripple, SEC Ask Court to Dissolve XRP Injunction, Release $125M in Escrow
$BTC
The joint filing proposes a $50 million payment to the SEC and marks a key step toward settling the years-long legal battle over XRP sales Jun 13, 2025
In brief SEC and Ripple have filed a joint motion to dissolve the injunction and release escrowed funds. The latest proposal would see $50M paid to the SEC and the remainder returned to Ripple. The two are trying to wind down a case that began in 2020, centered on XRP sales as alleged unregistered securities. The Securities and Exchange Commission and Ripple Labs have jointly asked a Manhattan federal court to dissolve a prior injunction and release $125 million currently held in escrow, according to a filing made Thursday in the Southern District of New York.
Under the proposal, Ripple would pay a $50 million civil penalty to the SEC, with the remaining funds to be returned to the company. The filing marks a major step in ending a case that has stretched nearly four years and triggered wide industry scrutiny.
Ripple directed Decrypt to court documents when requested for comment.
The joint motion follows earlier efforts by both parties to suspend ongoing appeals and reach a negotiated resolution. The request must still be approved by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres.
Filed in 2020, the SEC’s lawsuit accused Ripple of raising $1.3 billion by selling XRP as unregistered securities.

U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres said Thursday that even if she had jurisdiction, she would still deny the motion as “procedurally improper.” The SEC and Ripple had filed for an indicative ruling, a non-binding signal from the court that it would accept a deal dissolving Ripple’s injunc...

May 16, 2025 Ripple denied wrongdoing, and in 2023 secured a partial legal win when Judge Torres ruled that programmatic sales of XRP on public exchanges to retail buyers did not constitute securities offerings. However, the court did find violations in Ripple’s institutional sales.
After that ruling, the SEC sought a $2 billion penalty, which was later reduced to $125 million. Under the proposed deal, Ripple and its top executives will pay $50 million, with the remaining funds reverting to Ripple. The SEC, under new leadership, has agreed to the arrangement.
The move comes as the SEC, under President Donald Trump, has begun to pivot away from its previously aggressive crypto enforcement under former President Joe Biden.
Several high-profile lawsuits and investigations initiated by former Chair Gary Gensler have since been dropped.
