$XRP Pumps As SEC Files For Ripple Lawsuit Settlement – Is It Actually Game Over?
- On May 8, 2025, the SEC and Ripple jointly submitted a settlement letter to the Southern District Court in New York City requesting the dissolution of the August 2024 injunction against Ripple.
- This filing follows the SEC's December 2020 lawsuit accusing Ripple of unlawfully offering unregistered securities and a final judgment from August 2024 ordering Ripple to pay $125 million in penalties.
- The letter requests that $50 million of the $125 million penalty be paid to the SEC and that the remaining funds held in escrow be returned to Ripple as part of the settlement agreement.
- SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw and legal experts warned the settlement would weaken the court’s role and create a regulatory vacuum until new crypto rules are established.
- If approved by Judge Torres, the settlement would end the enforcement action and appeals, but it may leave regulatory uncertainty surrounding XRP’s status pending further rulemaking.
