The lawsuit began in December 2020, when the SEC accused Ripple of conducting an unregistered securities offering through $XRP sales. Over the years, the case became a key battle in defining how U.S. securities laws apply to digital assets. However, Ripple has now emerged stronger, marking a major win for the crypto industry.
Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty confirmed on X that Ripple has agreed to drop its cross-appeal, allowing the SEC’s previous decision to stand. Additionally, the SEC has requested the removal of the standard injunction on Ripple.

$XRP ETF Has 86% Chance of Approval by 2025
With the lawsuit behind it, Ripple is now looking forward, and investors are optimistic about $XRP’s future. According to Polymarket, there is now an 86% chance that an $XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) will be approved before 2025.
Amid the market turmoil, $XRP remains stable, currently trading at $2.46, staying above the important support level of $2.40. Many analysts believe $XRP could soon reach $2.9990 and even $3.4000, driven by market confidence and potential ETF approval.
As the Ripple vs SEC case finally ends, the focus now shifts to $XRP’s market growth and the potential ETF approval, which could bring major institutional interest into the cryptocurrency.
