Victory for Ripple, XRP Soars
A federal court ordered Ripple to pay $125 million in civil penalties for violating securities laws through 1,278 institutional sales. The ruling, made by Judge Analisa Torres, is significantly lower than the SEC's initial demand of $1.9 billion. While the SEC's case against Ripple is concluded, an injunction was issued to prevent future violations. Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, expressed satisfaction with the ruling, highlighting it as a victory for the company and the XRP community. Following the decision, XRP's price surged by 20%.
