Appeals Court Clears the Way for Ripple, Ending Long-Running Legal Battle

The appeals court has closed out a major legal dispute between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking a significant shift in the crypto landscape. Following a joint stipulation filed by both parties earlier this year, the SEC agreed to drop its appeal of the 2023 ruling while Ripple dropped its cross-appeal. The appellate court accepted the request, leaving Judge Analisa Torres’s decision as the final word on the case.
