Ripple and SEC Move to End XRP Injunction

Ripple Labs Inc. and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a joint motion on June 12, 2025, seeking to dissolve the existing injunction against Ripple in the XRP lawsuit.

Ripple and SEC’s proposal to dissolve the injunction impacts Ripple’s operations and may affect market dynamics.

The motion requests the court to cancel the injunction against Ripple Labs and redistribute $125 million in escrow. $50 million is proposed to be directed to the SEC and the remainder to Ripple. Historically, such legal resolutions have influenced market sentiment and XRP’s price. However, no direct impact on other assets like ETH or BTC is confirmed. The confirmation of Gary Gensler’s successor as SEC Chair might alter regulatory narratives, affecting Ripple’s future. Previous settlements, like Block.one’s with the SEC, often led to broader market fluctuations within crypto communities.

As of the motion filing, no major industry or developer forums have reported on the direct implications for Ripple or similar projects. Ripple’s executives have not publicly commented, and no adjustments in on-chain data or liquidity have been noted. Fred Rispoli, a legal analyst, suggested that modifications to Judge Torres’ decision might reflect broader market trends. Potential regulatory shifts may alter technological landscapes or financial pathways, as precedent shows in similar cryptocurrency legal matters. Past events suggest Ripple’s legal journey may yet influence industry regulation standards.
