Ripple Lawsuit Ends: Is XRP’s Future Clear?

The Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit has reached a decisive end with both parties dismissing their appeals. The outcome means Judge Analisa Torres’s rulings regarding XRP are final, with sales on public exchanges considered not to be securities and institutional sales subject to securities regulations. Additionally, a $125 million penalty will remain in effect along with an injunction against Ripple’s institutional XRP sales. This legal conclusion comes after years of litigation that began in 2020. The ripple effects are expected to impact the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency overall.
