XRP News: Is Ripple Settling $50 Million SEC Fine in XRP?

The post XRP News: Is Ripple Settling $50 Million SEC Fine in XRP? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News After months of speculation and legal back-and-forth, Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have officially settled their case. While insiders at Ripple had hinted weeks ago that a deal was done, many in the crypto community were waiting for written confirmation from the SEC itself. That confirmation has now arrived. The SEC has publicly announced that it has reached a settlement agreement with Ripple to resolve its civil enforcement action. The agreement also covers Ripple’s executives, though that part had already been settled earlier. What matters most to XRP holders is the deal involving Ripple and its XRP token. According to the settlement terms, Ripple will pay $50 million out of the original $125 million penalty. The remaining amount will be returned to Ripple. Both sides have also agreed to drop their appeals — but only if the court agrees to lift the injunction that has been placed on Ripple for months. Attorney John Deaton, who has closely followed the case, weighed in on the news. He said that it would be “absolutely shocking” if Judge Analisa Torres didn’t agree to lift the injunction, given the circumstances. Legal Experts Issue Clarification Soon after the settlement details surfaced, rumors started spreading online that Ripple would be paying the $50 million fine using XRP, and that the U.S. government planned to hold XRP as part of a strategic reserve. However, former SEC lawyer Marc Fage l quickly dismissed those claims. He clarified that the money is already in Ripple’s counsel’s custody in cash form, and once the court approves the deal, it will be paid to the SEC — not in XRP. Nonsense, the initial fine the court ordered of $125,000 has already been set aside in an account in USD earning interest, and the parties have agreed in the settlement agreement how it will be distributed. https://t.co/Dq706YV6mp — bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) May 10, 2025 Attorney Bill Morgan also stepped in to address the false reports. He explained that the original fine amount was already placed in a USD account earning interest, and both parties have agreed on how it will be distributed according to the settlement terms.
