Ripple shifts its focus to the development of the Internet of Value.

XRP has seen a slight increase in price, and the community expects stable performance.

Ripple Labs has settled a lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), paying a $125 million fine. The settlement was finalized on June 28, 2025.

This decision marks the end of the litigation, confirming XRP’s market status as a non-security while maintaining the prohibition on institutional sales.

Ripple announced that it had reached a settlement with the SEC, accepting an initial $125 million fine. CEO Brad Garlinghouse said on social media: We are closing this chapter for good.

Both sides have withdrawn their appeals, ending the trial.

Ripple’s acceptance of the fine overturns previous settlement proposals aimed at reducing financial penalties and lifting restrictions on sales. The legal settlement allows Ripple to shift its focus to business operations without waiting for new litigation.

Did you know? The Ripple case set a precedent for the regulation of digital assets in the US.

According to CoinMarketCap, the market capitalization of XRP as of June 28, 2025 is $129.59 billion. The trading volume has decreased recently, while the price of XRP rose 4.02% in 24 hours. The completion of the trial is seen as a key factor in XRP’s modest growth.

The Coincu team’s research emphasizes that Ripple could benefit long-term from the completion of the lawsuit. The decision likely contributes to greater clarity in the regulatory environment and is in line with trends pointing to growth potential in digital asset markets.
