SEC, Ripple Ink $50M Settlement Agreement, Ask NY Judge for Green Light
- In May 2025, Ripple Labs, along with its chief executive Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Christian Larsen, agreed to a $50 million settlement with the SEC in New York.
- The agreement ends a nearly five-year legal battle over whether Ripple’s XRP sales violated securities laws that began with the SEC’s 2020 lawsuit.
- The settlement requires Ripple to pay $50 million toward a $125 million civil penalty placed in escrow after Judge Analisa Torres ruled Ripple broke securities laws in institutional XRP sales.
- The SEC and Ripple jointly filed a motion seeking Judge Torres’ approval to dissolve the injunction and return $75 million of the escrow, while both parties drop their appeals.
- This resolution signals the probable end of a major crypto enforcement case, providing regulatory clarity and allowing Ripple to move forward amid the SEC’s retreat from crypto litigation.
