Ripple followed with a cross-appeal on Oct. 10, contesting portions of the same ruling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Commission filed its opening brief on Jan. 15, and the court subsequently set deadlines for Ripple and its executives to respond. Those briefs are suspended pending further court action on the motion to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Settlement terms await commission approval<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ripple recently agreed to<\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ripple-agrees-to-pay-50m-fine-and-drop-cross-appeal-to-settle-sec-lawsuit\/\">pay a $50 million civil penalty<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and withdraw its cross-appeal as part of the broader resolution effort. The proposed settlement is still subject to internal review and formal approval by the Commission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If approved, the parties may seek an indicative ruling from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, where the case originated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The motion emphasizes that pausing the appeals process would conserve judicial and party resources while negotiations are finalized. The parties have requested that the Commission file a status report within 60 days of any stay order issued by the appellate court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the filing states that the delay would prejudice no party and that all parties to the appeal and cross-appeal have consented.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Over four years of litigation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The case stems from a December 2020 enforcement action in which the SEC alleged that Ripple\u2019s sales of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/xrp\/\">XRP<\/a> constituted unregistered securities offerings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In July 2023, a federal judge ruled that XRP sales to institutional investors violated securities laws, while programmatic sales on secondary markets did not.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That partial ruling set the stage for the appeals now placed on hold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the ensuing months, Ripple has secured multiple legal wins while facing ongoing regulatory scrutiny. The company has maintained that its<\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/xrp-surges-10-as-ripple-claims-decisive-win-over-sec-regulations\/\">operations comply with current securities laws<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and has called for clear legislative guidance to distinguish digital assets from traditional securities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest filing indicates that both sides are moving toward a final resolution of the multi-year dispute. A court order granting the motion would allow the parties additional time to complete the settlement process and potentially close the case.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs have jointly filed a motion to hold their appeals in abeyance, citing
