Ripple has ended the ongoing legal dispute with the SEC by withdrawing his application for appeal – CNF reported – a crucial date, because a new chapter for the crypto industry begins.
In December 2020, the SEC Ripple accused the sale of XRP tokens to offer a non-registered security. After years of court proceedings, Ripple agreed to a comparison. The company will pay a reduced fine of $ 50 million, significantly less than the $ 125 million originally imposed.
This comparison must still be approved by the SEC and the responsible court. It is noteworthy that Ripple has not granted any misconduct as part of the agreement.
The end of the case has far -reaching consequences. The decision of the SEC to drop their calling regarding the classification of XRP indicates a shift in the regulatory approach, which increases legal certainty for other cryptocurrencies in terms of its equity law assessment. This creates a cheaper environment for crypto innovations and a broader acceptance.
After the agreement, the crypto community speculates violently about the approval of an XRP ETF. According to Market Periodical, forecast markets such as Polymarket have set the likelihood that an XRP ETF will be approved by December 2025 to 86% before the settlement. This reflects the increased optimism via the path from XRP for integration into the mainstream financial market.
The XRP course reacted positively to the news and rose to around $ 2.45. This underlines the new trust of investors into the future of XRP. Analysts assume that an approved XRP ETF will attract considerable institutional investments, which can bring the value of the token to new highs.
With increasing regulatory clarity, XRP seems to be predestined for further growth. In a statement, Ripple emphasized that the crypto custody is not just about storage, but also about “security, compliance and control”.
Crypto custody isn’t just about storage—it’s about security, compliance & control.
