Updated: Jun 26 2025Court Ruling on Ripple and SEC: U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres has denied a joint request from Ripple and the SEC to amend a final judgment, maintaining Ripple's $125 million penalty and injunction against its XRP sales to institutional investors.
Implications of the Decision: The ruling emphasizes that private settlements cannot override court judgments when public interest is at stake, keeping legal pressure on Ripple's institutional sales and highlighting the severity of its misconduct in violating securities laws.
