SEC Ripple Case Ends With $50M Penalty

After a four-year legal battle, Ripple Labs has reached an agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding their XRP token. On May 8, 2025, both parties filed a joint motion to the court, requesting the lifting of previous restrictions and the release of $125 million in escrow funds previously reserved following a August 7, 2024 ruling that found Ripple liable for violating securities laws through XRP sales. .
