After nearly three years of litigation, the judge has entered final judgment in the SEC’s case against Ripple Labs.
The court reaffirmed that:
• XRP itself is not a security
• Only certain institutional sales violated securities laws
• Programmatic sales and distributions are not securities

This ruling provides legal clarity for XRP — something few other crypto assets currently have.
That means XRP can be used, traded, and built on in the U.S. without fear of it being labeled a security (outside of institutional sales).

The SEC had the option to appeal Judge Torres’s decision but chose not to.
That decision signals a major concession from the SEC — they’re letting the ruling stand.
This effectively ends the SEC’s direct attack on XRP at the trial level.

The bigger picture:
• This case sets precedent for how digital assets may be treated in future SEC cases
• It weakens the SEC’s position in similar suits against other crypto companies

For XRP holders, this marks the end of a long period of legal overhang.
Ripple has survived and grown despite the lawsuit. Now it can go on offense — expanding ODL, onboarding institutions, and building out new XRPL utility.

This isn’t just a Ripple win — it’s a win for the entire crypto space.
A judge has officially ruled that not all crypto tokens are securities, and that context matters. That ruling stands.
Legal clarity is finally here for XRP.

XRP is the first digital asset with a federal court ruling stating it’s not a security in secondary market trading.
That matters.
