After years of legal battles and mounting tension, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially decided to drop its appeal against Ripple. Ripple, which faced accusations from the SEC regarding its sale of XRP tokens, has now emerged victorious, as the judge ruled in favor of Ripple multiple times. 

The SEC’s decision to appeal earlier this year in January, even after the resignation of former chairman Gary Gensler, frustrated many, including Ripple. However, with the dismissal of the appeal, the legal uncertainty surrounding Ripple has now officially ended. 

Following the dismissal of the appeal, excitement surged in the crypto market, with XRP’s value experiencing a notable uptick. Despite this positive development for Ripple, enthusiasts are still awaiting a formal confirmation from the SEC.

Once that happens, Ripple will not oppose the motion to lift the injunction, and Judge Torres will likely sign off on it. All of this means that within 60 days, Ripple’s legal battles with the SEC could be fully and formally resolved.

For now, the crypto community remains on edge, awaiting the final formalities to conclude.
