Both parties have withdrawn their appeals, signaling the end of the legal battle. However, the case has not been officially closed. <strong>XRP<\/strong> has been declared not to be a security, but court approval is still pending. The SEC released a status report detailing the progress of the XRP case.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This report is considered a critical step toward the official closure of the case. Once the court approves the report, the lawsuit will be formally concluded. The case, which began four years ago, targeted Ripple and its executives over $1.2 billion in XRP sales. The SEC argued that XRP was a security, impacting the token&#8217;s market price.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/XRPCommunity?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#XRPCommunity<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SECGov?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SECGov<\/a> v. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ripple?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Ripple<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/XRP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#XRP<\/a> The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SECGov?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SECgov<\/a> has filed a status report with the Court of Appeals noting that the parties have filed a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal of the appeals and that the stipulation remains pending and therefore awaiting approval by the Court. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X74wFRhswq\">pic.twitter.com\/X74wFRhswq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; James K.

This step is seen as an indication that the case is almost over. Ripple retracted its cross-appeal, followed by the SEC withdrawing its own appeals. Under the settlement, <strong>Ripple<\/strong> will pay <strong>$125 millio<\/strong>n, much lower than the initial $2 billion.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Certain restrictions on future institutional XRP sales will remain. SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated that this is a milestone for U.S. crypto regulation. A crypto community member, Sherrie, noted that the status report was submitted late. The court needed the report because it had not formally approved the joint withdrawal. This allows Ripple to continue operations while exercising its waiver rights.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The <strong>XRP case<\/strong> has long been closely monitored by the crypto market. The rejection of appeals and the SEC\u2019s status report signal the official closure of the case. Ripple will now operate within a legal framework for institutional sales and fulfill registration requirements. As a result, XRP investors continue to closely follow the case\u2019s conclusion.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <i>You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
