The long struggle of Ripple with the supervisory bureaucracy, which has been out of hand, has ended. CEO Garlinghouse gave insights into Bloomberg into the future and indicated changes.
After the legal hurdles have been overcome, Ripple’s next steps could quickly change the role of XRP in the market, and it is not just about the course.
Die SEC Sliced ripple In December 2020 and focused on XRP sales. In the summer of 2023, the responsible court decided that XRP itself was not a security – a first great success for Ripple. The SEC made an appeal, but now withdrew it and ended the saga, as Garlinghouse confirmed.
Ripple is now considering doing his own calling, saysHe opposite Bloomberg. The company has spent over $ 150 million in attorney costs to combat the SEC Willkür. “This gives Ripple and me a lot of security,” said Garlinghouse and pointed out that the Sec had also personally sued him.
The court had admitted part of the lawsuit and decided that certain XRP sales at institutions from 2015 and 2016 were to be regarded as securities transactions and were therefore illegal. That is why Ripple was fined $ 125 million, which is currently in a trust account. Garlinghouse said that he indicated a possible fight for her recovery:
“We wouldn’t mind getting this sum back.”
Ripple holds a whopping 42 % of the total XRP offer of 99.9 billion units, a fixed upper limit. To keep things open, Ripple publishes the “XRP Markets Report” with detailed information on sales and token releases. “We want this to be predictable,” emphasized Garlinghouse, a practice that has proven itself for years.
The decision of the court characterized early sales to accredited investors as securities, a point that Garlinghouse recognized. “These were securities sales,” he said about the deals of 2015 and 2016. Now Ripple is considering the XRP sales throttle:
“Maybe we won’t sell that much anymore – we will see.”
Market expert Pierre Rochard, VP at Riot Platforms, fired a tweet on this topic. “Ripple sells XRP as sales, as an operational money inflow,” he wrote, describing it as tokens, “which are created out of nowhere and pressed them out”. He insists that the buyers do not invest in Ripple, but simply buy tokens that are not linked to any conditions after the sale.
XRP army in disbelief.
Ripple sells XRP as revenue, an operating cash inflow.
It’s not financing, you are not investing in Ripple, you’re just getting tokens created out of thin air dumped on you. Ripple doesn’t owe you anything post-sale. pic.twitter.com/jUtqGW4UJN

Garlinghouse sees further episodes. Opposite Bloomberg he said:
“US financial institutions are” we won’t touch it. ” about positive statements. “
Since the focus is on deposit solutions and payments, it attributes the change to the clarity of the regulations.
Ripple is aiming for growth, with Garlinghouse plans for the takeover of blockchain infrastructure companies:
“There will be consolidation this year and we will orientate ourselves.
