The company confirmed that the SEC officially withdrew its appeal in the Ripple vs. SEC case. However, no formal acknowledgment has come from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/p>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s statement, published on May 5, 2025, marks the first formal company-issued update regarding the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Belisarius2020\/status\/1919703974795739310\">Ripple vs. SEC<\/a> lawsuit status. The report\u2019s wording indicates a definitive closure, yet legal analysts note the absence of public records confirming the commission\u2019s withdrawal. This has led to speculation about undisclosed developments or internal agreements still awaiting procedural completion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Odd though that the report states the SEC has officially withdrawn its appeal when the SEC commissioners as far as we know have not voted yet on the matters \/2 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/npxaFX4WWF\">pic.twitter.com\/npxaFX4WWF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Belisarius2020\/status\/1919703974795739310?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Though Ripple cites an earlier social media post by CEO Brad Garlinghouse, the SEC has not commented or updated the court docket. Legal observers, including former SEC officials, argue that procedural steps could delay the final case closure until October. Nonetheless, Ripple\u2019s report suggests confidence in the resolution and a forward-looking stance.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP Faces Resistance as Legal Doubts Linger<\/h2>\n<p>Following the Ripple vs. SEC update, <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/can-the-xrp-price-jump-to-48-if-this-happens-what-about-xrp-2-0\/\">XRP price<\/a> traded at $2.10 on May 6, 2025, showing a slight daily decline of 1.32%. Despite the price drop, XRP has recorded a modest year-to-date gain of 0.65% amid heightened activity. The token briefly approached resistance at $2.20 but failed to break through that level.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36058\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36058\" style=\"width: 752px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36058 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Coinmarketcap.png\" alt=\"XRP\/USD 24-hour price chart source: CoinMarketCap\" width=\"752\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Coinmarketcap.png 752w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Coinmarketcap-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Coinmarketcap-131x74.png 131w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Coinmarketcap-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Coinmarketcap-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Coinmarketcap-450x253.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">XRP\/USD 24-hour price chart source: CoinMarketCap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Whale accumulation continues as data reveals a monthly high in long positions for XRP. These positions have strengthened market sentiment even as regulatory confirmation remains absent. Ripple\u2019s Q1 report did not cite price forecasts but emphasized strategic activity surrounding XRP in light of the Ripple vs. SEC update.<\/p>\n<p>XRP\u2019s technical indicators show solid buying momentum, with support near $2.00 holding firm in recent sessions. The company\u2019s report may have sparked cautious optimism, but traders await final word from the commission.<\/p>\n<h2>Ripple vs. SEC Talks Hint at Closure<\/h2>\n<p>Ongoing engagement between Ripple and regulatory figures, including a meeting with former SEC Chair <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/paul-atkins-takes-helm-at-sec-signals-new-era-for-crypto-regulation\/\">Paul Atkins<\/a>, has become evident. While the SEC has not disclosed internal discussions, these developments imply behind-the-scenes movement in the Ripple vs. SEC case. Analysts suggest a phased conclusion is more likely than an immediate announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Legal expert James Farrell noted that procedural closure could take months, depending on internal SEC timelines. This aligns with market expectations that the Ripple vs. SEC matter might only be formally closed later in 2025. Ripple\u2019s assertion, nonetheless, indicates a critical milestone in the prolonged dispute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR Breakdown In its Q1 2025 report, Ripple Labs stated that the SEC officially withdrew its appeal in the Ripple vs. SEC case.
