Ripple Lawsuit Settlement Has Sparked Institutional Demand
Last week, Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officially withdrew their appeals, bringing an end to years long XRP lawsuit.
Despite the confusion in the crypto community, SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce and chairman Paul Atkins has officially confirmed the end of the legal battle.
Commissioner Peirce is right. With this chapter closed, we now have an opportunity to shift our energy from the courtroom to the policy drafting table. Our focus should be on building a clear regulatory framework that fosters innovation while protecting investors. #ProjectCrypto
