Ripple Crushes SEC in Historic Court Victory: XRP Officially Cleared as Non-Security

After years of legal warfare, Ripple Labs delivers a knockout blow to the SEC—XRP escapes security classification in a landmark ruling that reshapes crypto regulation.

The verdict that shook Wall Street

Judge Torres’ final ruling torches the SEC’s argument, granting institutional sales clarity while slapping the agency for "arbitrary and capricious" enforcement. XRP’s status? Crystal clear.

Market reacts with violent euphoria

Traders pile into XRP as exchanges scramble to relist the token—liquidity floods back while SEC lawyers presumably draft their appeal between martini lunches.

The new regulatory playbook

Ripple’s win sets precedent for every altcoin in the SEC’s crosshairs. Suddenly, Gary Gensler’s "regulation by lawsuit" strategy looks about as effective as a screen door on a submarine.

Celebrations erupt across crypto Twitter as the industry scores its biggest legal win since Bitcoin’s whitepaper. Meanwhile in DC, someone’s probably shorting SEC morale.

• Ripple secures a historic legal win as the SEC case ends, confirming XRP is not a security.
• Legal clarity boosts hopes for US-based XRP ETFs and global expansion plans.
• XRP price surges over 10% following the ruling, fueling bullish market sentiment.

Ripple has finally closed the book on its years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), ending one of the most high-profile cryptocurrency cases ever. On August 7, the two sides mutually submitted to the Second Circuit Court a motion asking them to dismiss both appeals, officially closing the case after years of courtroom confrontations.

The case, which started when the SEC charged Ripple with making unlawful sales of XRP as an unregistered security, has been the subject of sector discussion since 2020.

By this dual dismissal, Ripple’s programmatic XRP sales before the year up to then and other non-institutional allocations are now unquestionably determined by the legal principle of res judicata, so they cannot be questioned further. Such transactions, therefore, are legally recognized as legitimate.

Notably, the ruling clears the asset itself of being a security, lifting a cloud of doubt that has hung over the cryptocurrency for years. The ruling is being hailed as a historic victory for the XRP community, which has stood by for years of legal action and regulatory scrutiny.

Ripple Win Sparks XRP Rally, ETF Hopes

The ruling now liberates Ripple to devote all its energy to growing the business. Market commentators add that this legal clarity could also open the doors to US-based XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a possibility that has been making waves over the last several months.

The issue of Ripple programmatic sales of XRP in the manner sold until 2020 and other distributions, that were not sales to institutions, is now res judicata as between the SEC and Ripple. Those sales and distributions were lawful.

XRP itself was, is, and forever will be, not…

Ripple officials called this victory the start of a new era with worldwide expansion, along with partnerships to come. The company will continue to cement its presence within the space of global payment solutions, as well as accelerate worldwide digital asset adoption.

The timing of the ruling comes as sentiment towards altcoins strengthens, leading to the expectation of an XRP rally. The potential for the mitigation of the risk of regulation could help spark investor demand again.

With initial signs already being seen, considering the XRP has risen by over 10% after the ruling was made. The market will be watching to determine if this legal victory becomes the spark for continued growth.
