Ripple vs. SEC: Court rejects settlement – XRP price crashes!
Ripple and SEC: Judge Torres rejects early dismissal of proceedings; XRP price reacts negatively to ongoing legal dispute.
Ripple vs. SEC: Court rejects settlement – XRP price crashes!
On June 26, 2025, developments in the legal dispute between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed new findings that are causing unrest among investors and XRP holders. Judge Analisa Torres rejected the request for an early dismissal of the proceedings in the SEC against Ripple case. The motion filed jointly by both parties, the SEC and Ripple, to “dissolve” the proceedings and reduce the penalty by half was also rejected. This means that the case, which dates back to a lawsuit filed by the SEC in 2020, remains open.
The SEC, led by Gary Gensler, had charged Ripple with unlawful securities trading. The parties had previously agreed to reduce the original penalty from $125 million to $50 million, but the judge also rejected this compromise. It didn't take long for the market to react; the XRP price fell by 3.3 percent and reached a level of 2.24 US dollars.
Frustration among investors
The judge's recent decisions have increased frustration among investors. While there have been signs this year that both Ripple and the SEC are moving toward an agreement, there has been no trove of good news. Back in May, Judge Torres rejected a request for an indicative decision, which she classified as “procedurally inappropriate.” The clerk was ordered to terminate this pending motion.
Given the situation, the litigation is expected to continue for several months. This uncertainty makes many investors nervous. Influencers such as The Real Remi Relief have claimed on social media that a major announcement is coming on June 13, 2025, which could potentially mark a new turning point in the cause. There is speculation that Ripple may have been able to secure a better settlement offer than originally thought. The influencer encouraged his followers to buy XRP in preparation for a possible price breakout following a settlement.
XRP price remains below a key resistance level, although the possibility of a positive comparison could have the potential to lift the token above its previous all-time high of $3.84.
