The XRP community has increasingly scrutinized Ripple’s leadership, watching how corporate strategy, adoption milestones, and market performance intersect to shape both sentiment and value.

Fred Rispoli, a respected lawyer and long-time observer of the XRP landscape, recently highlighted this dynamic. Responding to a post by The Wolf Of All Streets emphasizing Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s assurance that the “XRP family has and always will be top of mind for Ripple,” Rispoli challenged the CEO to demonstrate commitment through measurable action rather than words alone.

His commentary, shared publicly on X, underscored the growing expectation among investors that leadership must deliver concrete value, particularly in the form of market performance.

SHOW ME YOUR LOVE THROUGH ACTIONS BRAD NOT WORDS

— Fred Rispoli (@freddyriz) February 9, 2026

Accountability Through Action

Rispoli’s statement reflects a broader shift in how cryptocurrency communities evaluate leadership. In earlier cycles, declarations and long-term promises often sufficed to maintain investor optimism.

Today, the emphasis has shifted toward actionable outcomes—growth in liquidity, adoption metrics, and, critically, price appreciation. Investors increasingly view these factors as direct indicators of corporate alignment with their interests.

During the same discussion thread, community participants reinforced Rispoli’s sentiment, suggesting that the clearest demonstration of Ripple’s dedication would be tangible market results rather than verbal assurances.

This interaction highlights how the community now equates executive action with credibility and trustworthiness, reinforcing that commitment in the crypto world is measured in results, not rhetoric.

Price Performance as a Proxy for Confidence

Price appreciation has emerged as a key metric for evaluating XRP’s health and Ripple’s stewardship. In response to another community comment emphasizing the importance of market performance, Rispoli agreed enthusiastically, underscoring that investors interpret gains as validation of strategic execution.

For many stakeholders, rising value signals that Ripple’s initiatives—such as expanding payment corridors, forging institutional partnerships, and advancing regulatory clarity—effectively support the ecosystem and reward early and long-term participants alike.

Balancing Strategy and Community Expectations

These interactions highlight the accountability Ripple’s leadership faces amid a maturing market. Beyond technological innovation and regulatory compliance, executives must demonstrate that their strategies translate into measurable outcomes for the community. Rispoli’s message serves as a reminder that verbal support alone is insufficient; investors now seek proof that corporate commitments directly benefit their holdings.

Ultimately, this episode underscores a central lesson for the crypto ecosystem: trust grows when words convert into action, and the most resonant demonstrations of commitment come through tangible performance that strengthens both the asset and the community behind it.

Rispoli affirmed that Ripple can sell XRP to U.S. institutions, although he noted that the process is still unclear. “Yes. Unclear the avenue that Ripple will use to accomplish this but the bottom line is THIS administration’s SEC won’t be a roadblock,” he stated.

He emphasized the importance of legislation for ensuring market stability, adding that it is vital to secure clarity in case the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopts a stricter stance on digital assets under a future administration.

Yes. Unclear the avenue that Ripple will use to accomplish this but the bottom line is THIS administration’s SEC won’t be a roadblock. So very important for market clarity legislation to pass in case next SEC goes back to anti-crypto.

The Context of the Lawsuit

The discussion follows the recent dismissal of legal proceedings between Ripple and the SEC. While the broader case has concluded, a key restriction remains unresolved.

Both Ripple and the SEC had jointly requested the removal of the permanent injunction preventing institutional sales of XRP. Judge Analisa Torres denied the motion for an indicative ruling, leaving the injunction in place.

This outcome leaves Ripple without full legal clearance for institutional transactions, though the company has made strides in other areas of its operations. Analysts and observers suggest that this development will not undermine Ripple’s long-term strategy.

Rispoli has previously explained that the term “institutional sales” from the ruling does not broadly apply to all future XRP sales involving institutions. In his response, he pointed out that the current SEC leadership will not obstruct Ripple’s path forward despite the outstanding injunction.

Implications for Ripple’s Business

The issue at the heart of the injunction is whether Ripple can engage directly with institutional buyers inside the U.S. without violating securities laws. Rispoli acknowledged uncertainty about the precise mechanism Ripple might use, but stressed that the administration’s approach provides room for the company to operate.

Market participants are eager for clarity, as institutional engagement is critical to XRP’s utility in cross-border settlements and liquidity solutions. Rispoli’s comments suggest that Ripple’s ability to transact with institutions is not dependent on the injunction’s removal, but rather on compliance with existing securities frameworks and the prevailing regulatory environment.

The post Can Ripple Sell XRP Directly To Institutions In the U.S.? Legal Expert Says Yes, But… appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The filing asks Judge Torres to make two determinations: first, to dissolve the injunction previously included in the Final Judgment entered against Ripple; and second, to approve the distribution of the $125,035,150 civil penalty, with $50 million paid to the SEC and the remainder returned to Ripple.

According to the letter, if the Court grants this indicative ruling, the parties will move the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to remand the case to the district court to grant the relief.

Fred Rispoli’s Notable Observation

Legal analyst and defense attorney James K. Filan alerted the public to the development through a tweet, stating: “BREAKING: The @SECGov has filed the Settlement Agreement Letter.”

In response, crypto lawyer Fred Rispoli pointedly noted the absence of Jorge G. Tenreiro, Chief Litigation Counsel at the SEC, from the settlement agreement.

Rispoli tweeted: “You know what’s so great about this? On the Settlement Agreement attached (Ex. A), ZERO APPEARANCE by a certain Mr. Tenreiro. In all fairness to him, though, he has been dealing with a massive temperature regulation problem in the IT room. You can’t just walk away from that.”

Rispoli’s comment, which includes a sarcastic reference to an IT-related distraction, highlights Tenreiro’s absence from the SEC’s latest filing. Tenreiro played a central role throughout much of the SEC’s litigation against Ripple and its executives, particularly in earlier phases of the case concerning XRP’s legal classification and related enforcement actions. His name not appearing on the settlement documents suggests a reduced role in the final negotiations or a broader shift in the SEC’s internal handling of crypto asset litigation.

Case History and Appeal Timeline

The joint letter also recounts the procedural background leading up to this request. After the August 2024 Final Judgment imposed a $125 million penalty on Ripple and included an injunction related to violations of the Securities Act of 1933, the Court later stayed enforcement of the monetary penalty in September 2024.

Ripple was ordered to deposit the penalty into an interest-bearing account pending appeal. The appeals remain active in the Second Circuit under cases Nos. 24-2648 and 24-2705(XAP), with the SEC and Ripple having filed respective notices of appeal and cross-appeal in October 2024.

Proposed Resolution and Next Steps

According to the settlement terms described in the May 8 filing, $50 million would be paid to the SEC in satisfaction of the penalty, and the rest returned to Ripple. This agreement effectively resolves the monetary penalty dispute contingent upon the Court’s approval.

The final disposition of the matter now depends on whether Judge Torres will issue the indicative ruling the parties seek. The case has been closely monitored due to its implications for digital asset regulation and enforcement in the United States.

Rispoli’s comment, while humorous, underscores attention on personnel developments at the SEC as the agency appears to move toward concluding one of the most significant enforcement actions in the crypto sector to date.

The post XRP Case: Legal Expert Reveals “What’s So Great” About SEC-Ripple Settlement Agreement appeared first on Times Tabloid.

This marks another shift in the long-running legal battle that has shaped regulatory discourse surrounding cryptocurrencies, particularly the classification and treatment of XRP.

The court order, dated April 16, 2025, confirms that the SEC and Ripple jointly requested the appeal be held in abeyance. It was shared on X by attorney James Filan and shows that the court granted the motion, effectively pausing all proceedings in the Second Circuit.

The SEC agreed to withdraw its appeal against Ripple weeks ago, and the community has been waiting for an official announcement from the regulator or a court ruling. While this halts immediate litigation activity, it does not conclude the case.

The pause introduces a waiting period during which the SEC must submit a status report within 60 days, providing an update on the agency’s position and the potential next steps.

What’s Next for the Lawsuit?

Prominent attorney Fred Rispoli, who has closely followed the case, weighed in following the order’s release. According to Rispoli, the next development will likely occur in the district court, and he expects to see a filing soon that could seek to modify the prior summary judgment ruling issued by Judge Analisa Torres.

With this order, the next move we will see is a filing in the district court seeking to modify J. Torres' order, i.e., lifting the injunction and reducing the fine. https://t.co/0ghiIhGkEY

Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer (CLO), Stuart Alderoty, previously revealed that the SEC agreed to lower Ripple’s penalty from $125 million to $50 million, and the regulator will ask the court to lift the injunction preventing the company from selling tokens to institutional investors.

Implications for XRP and the Digital Asset Market

For XRP holders, this temporary pause does not provide immediate closure but has brought the legal battle closer to its official end. The legal uncertainty surrounding XRP has been lifted, and many retail and institutional investors are waiting for an official dismissal of the lawsuit before re-entering the XRP market.

While they wait, XRP is already making significant progress. Teucrium recently launched the first XRP leverage ETF in the U.S., marking the most successful launch in the company’s history. With more ETFs and increased institutional adoption, XRP could experience a massive breakout in the short term.

The post Ripple vs SEC: Legal Expert States What’s Next After XRP Case Officially Paused appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The recent court decisions have somewhat clarified the trial’s progression as both parties prepare for upcoming settlement discussions and critical court dates. A pretrial conference is scheduled for December 19, with jury selection set to commence on January 21, 2025.

Judge Phyllis Hamilton presided over the latest proceedings. Her rulings largely aligned with the plaintiffs’ arguments. She applied the Daubert standard—a legal criterion used to assess expert witness testimony in federal court—when evaluating the admissibility of testimony from various expert witnesses. The judge issued orders on four expert-related motions, providing each party with victories in different respects.

Key Rulings on Expert Testimony

In an essential decision, Judge Hamilton denied Ripple’s motion to exclude the testimony of expert witness, Jeremy Clark, who was invited by plaintiffs to testify.

Ripple had argued that Clark lacked the specialized expertise needed to credibly assess the XRP Ledger, particularly regarding its operational dependence on Ripple and its distribution model favoring the company. However, Judge Hamilton found Clark’s report credible, allowing his testimony to be used in trial proceedings.

Similarly, Ripple’s efforts to dismiss the testimony of another plaintiff expert, Dr. Saifedean Ammous, were unsuccessful. The judge ruled that Dr. Ammous’s input on whether Ripple’s actions influence the price of XRP could be valuable for the jury to consider, alongside contradictory insights from Ripple’s experts.

She determined that the differing expert opinions offered by Dr. Ammous and Ripple’s expert, Professor Allen Ferrell, would provide the jury with a basis for deciding whether Ripple’s conduct has impacted XRP’s value.

In contrast, Ripple’s motion to exclude testimony from plaintiffs’ expert Joel Seligman was granted. Furthermore, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs’ motion to exclude testimony from Ripple’s expert, Professor Alan Schwartz. These decisions set the stage for the trial to proceed without the input of these witnesses, impacting the array of expert testimony available to both sides.

Legal Expert On Implications for XRP Status

As Ripple’s legal battles continue, the question of XRP’s classification as security remains open, especially concerning its regulatory status under state and federal law.

Legal expert Fred Rispoli has pointed out that this California lawsuit centers on state securities law, separate from the federal regulatory framework under which the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) operates.

Rispoli emphasized that the outcome of the California case, therefore, does not directly impact the federal case brought by the SEC against Ripple.

The SEC’s ongoing case against Ripple has already yielded a significant judgment. Earlier this year, Judge Analisa Torres, presiding over the SEC v. Ripple case in federal court, determined that Ripple’s institutional sales of XRP constituted securities transactions in violation of federal law. However, she ruled that sales of XRP on secondary markets to retail investors did not fall under the same classification, leaving XRP’s status at the retail level legally distinct.

Impacts of Rulings on Ripple’s Argument and Future XRP Market

Judge Hamilton’s recent decision to admit Clark’s testimony means Ripple faces challenges in contesting the plaintiff’s assertions about XRP’s dependence.

Clark’s testimony will likely grant the plaintiffs an argument that Ripple’s control over the XRP Ledger and the token’s distribution framework creates a scenario akin to traditional securities arrangements. These arguments could help shape the jury’s view on XRP’s nature as a security.

Ripple has argued that XRP’s classification as a security would require a different interpretation under state laws, given that federal rulings like Judge Torres’s do not automatically apply at the state level.

This nuanced legal position suggests that even if the SEC’s federal case partially clarified XRP’s status, the outcome of the California litigation could introduce different regulatory implications for XRP within state jurisdictions, possibly affecting Ripple’s compliance requirements and business operations regionally.

The post Lawyer Confirms: XRP Future Still Uncertain At State Level appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Rispoli drew attention to the SEC’s revival of its charges against Ripple executives Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen. The regulator dropped these charges in 2023 but has added them to the appeal, and Rispoli called out what he sees as an unusual omission by Ripple’s legal team.

Although many believed that the SEC had dropped all claims against them, Rispoli says this is not entirely the case. He notes, “SEC never stipulated to a dismissal of ALL claims against these two, just ‘Institutional Sales.’”

The SEC seems to be leaving the door open to pursue Garlinghouse and Larsen further, particularly programmatic sales. He notes that the language used in the stipulation of dismissal was not comprehensive, particularly concerning the charges against Garlinghouse and Larsen, and questioned why Ripple’s legal team did not include more definitive language in the stipulation for dismissal.

The Appeal of the Summary Judgment

Rispoli also touches on the SEC’s potential appeal of the summary judgment. The scope of this appeal is still unclear, with the SEC leaving open the possibility of revisiting issues surrounding programmatic sales and other distributions.

More alarmingly, Rispoli hints that the SEC could go as far as challenging whether XRP is inherently an investment contract, making its sales unregistered securities offerings. He notes that the SEC’s intentions will only become clearer when the briefing is released, but there’s “no question the issues are at minimum what were raised in the request for an interlocutory appeal.”

However, not everyone believes the SEC will go after XRP’s security status, as Ripple Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Stuart Alderoty shared in a post that XRP’s non-security status remains the law of the land as the regulator did not challenge it directly.

Will the SEC Try to Get More Money From Ripple?

A crucial point Rispoli raises is the absence of specific references to the final judgment regarding disgorgement and the amount of the civil penalty in the issues outlined by the SEC.

While the final judgment is mentioned in the notice of appeal, Rispoli suggests that the SEC’s omission of the $125 million penalty and the absence of disgorgement might be an error.

He speculated that the SEC might bring these issues up because of the prior reference to the final judgment, but it remains to be seen whether it will address this gap in its briefing.

The donation was reported by Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett and marks the first documented cryptocurrency contribution to Harris, setting a precedent for crypto involvement in politics. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing associated with the donation notes that it is in-kind, with the XRP not being liquidated at the time of the report.

The Biden Administration and Cryptocurrencies

Rispoli’s response to the donation sparked considerable attention. He speculated that Larsen’s decision to donate to XRP might carry a deeper significance, particularly given the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) stance on the digital asset.

The SEC under the Biden administration has been engaged in a legal battle with Ripple, claiming that XRP should be classified as a security, meaning its sale or distribution would be subject to strict regulatory oversight. The case has had profound implications for Ripple and the broader crypto space, causing intense debate over how digital assets should be regulated.

Rispoli stated, “Screw it, let’s see if she accepts the XRP her administration says is an investment contract,” suggesting that the donation could be a strategic or symbolic gesture on Larsen’s part. By donating XRP, Larsen may be testing whether a political figure, whose administration has been directly involved in overseeing the SEC, would accept a cryptocurrency that the same administration is scrutinizing.

Will Kamala Harris Accept Cryptocurrencies?

Over the past months, Donald Trump has been seen as the pro-crypto candidate and began accepting cryptocurrency donations including XRP in May 2024. However, Harris’s stance seems to have softened, and this donation could be a way for Larsen to indirectly challenge the regulatory treatment of XRP, bringing attention to the apparent contradictions in its legal status.

While some view the contribution as mere political donations, Rispoli suggests it may be more about pushing the boundaries of how XRP is perceived by regulators and political leaders.

Given that Harris is part of an administration overseeing the SEC, could make this donation particularly noteworthy within political and cryptocurrency circles.

SEC Chair Gary Gensler is currently in hot water as he’s being investigated for his hiring practices. Kamala Harris May be reevaluating her stance as Gensler gets exposed, and this could benefit XRP eventually.

Impact of Judges on the Outcome

The outcome of the SEC’s appeal against Ripple largely hinges on the panel of judges assigned to the case. As attorney Fred Rispoli aptly put it, “You could have an okay panel, you could have an amazing panel, or you could have a terrible panel.” This variance in judicial perspectives can significantly impact the SEC’s chances of success.

The panel’s composition will play a crucial role in interpreting the complexities of the case, particularly regarding the classification of XRP as a security. With the appeal deadline looming on October 7, 2024, the selection of judges will be a critical factor in determining the fate of the SEC’s case against Ripple.

According to attorney Fred Rispoli, the SEC’s chances of winning the appeal against Ripple largely depend on the panel of judges assigned to the case. If the panel has a history of favoring the government, the SEC’s odds could jump to 70-80%. This highlights the significant role judges play in shaping the outcome.

Rispoli also pointed out that the SEC’s appeal targets specific elements, including Ripple’s programmatic sales and distributions of XRP. The outcome will have broader implications for the crypto industry, potentially affecting other companies and exchanges.

High-Stakes Nature of the SEC-Ripple Lawsuit

However, attorney Fred Rispoli firmly believes Ripple has a robust arsenal to counter the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He’s confident that Ripple possesses all the necessary elements to emerge victorious, leveraging its strong defense strategy.

This optimism stems from Rispoli’s assessment of the case’s specifics, where he thinks Ripple’s programmatic sales and distributions of XRP will hold up against the SEC’s claims. With Rispoli’s expertise in the field, his positive outlook on Ripple’s chances is noteworthy, especially considering the high stakes of this lawsuit.

Attorney Fred Rispoli highlighted the high-stakes nature of the SEC-Ripple lawsuit, emphasizing that both parties face significant risks. He noted that the outcome is far from certain, with potential pitfalls for both the blockchain company and the regulatory agency.

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023

According to attorney Fred Rispoli, programmatic sales are the make-or-break point. This is the most critical aspect of the appeal for XRP holders, as the SEC’s win could put the token’s regulatory status in jeopardy. Imagine the ripple effect – a negative outcome could also impact companies like Coinbase and Kraken, making it a high-stakes battle.

Rispoli thinks Ripple has a solid defense, but the SEC won’t go down without a fight. They’ll likely appeal every aspect of the ruling that didn’t go in their favor, and some arguments will resonate more than others.

The SEC might also contest the penalties imposed on Ripple, pushing for a heftier fine. As the appeal unfolds, Rispoli noted that Ripple faces an additional challenge in retaining client and investor confidence.

The post Legal Expert Points Up Ripple’s Chances In SEC Appeal Case  appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The ruling leaned favorably towards Ripple, particularly regarding XRP’s status in the market. The court decided that current sales of XRP post-complaint do not necessarily violate federal law, which indicates that further litigation might be necessary to address this specific issue fully. This point leaves room for future legal challenges, although XRP’s current standing remains unaffected.

Ripple’s Victory Over the SEC

One of the most notable aspects of the decision is the refusal to impose disgorgement on Ripple. The SEC’s inability to secure this penalty marks a considerable defeat for the agency. The court’s judgment on this matter is crucial, as it significantly diminishes the financial repercussions Ripple faces.

Another critical element of the ruling is the $125 million civil penalty Ripple is required to pay for institutional sales of XRP that violated Section 5 of the Securities Act. This penalty stems from 1,278 transactions deemed unregistered securities offerings.

The SEC intended to collect a total of $1.95 billion from Ripple. Rispoli pointed out that Ripple’s gains from XRP’s price increase shortly after the ruling may offset the meager $125 million penalty.

The court also found that Ripple did not recklessly disregard regulatory requirements, a positive outcome for the company. This aspect of the ruling highlights Ripple’s efforts to comply with legal standards, negates any claim of intentional misconduct, and lends to the favorable ruling as Ripple did not intend to break the law.

Furthermore, Rispoli highlighted the court’s refusal to grant an injunction on all institutional sales, including Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) services. This decision allows Ripple to continue its operations without immediate restrictions, marking a significant loss for the SEC.

Judge Analisa Torres, who presided over the case, did not rule in Ripple’s favor regarding expert witnesses. Judge Sarah Netburn’s ruling, which dealt with expert testimony, was unfavorable for Ripple. Rispoli had anticipated this outcome, indicating that it would not substantially affect Ripple’s broader legal standing.

As for the future, Rispoli noted that the decision initiates a 60-day countdown for the SEC to file an appeal, potentially prolonging the legal battle. This period will be crucial for both parties as they consider their next steps. However, with its reduced 2024 budget, the SEC may choose not to appeal.

In a recent post on X, Rispoli directed a specific suggestion towards billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk regarding the future of his social media platform’s payment system, X Payments.

Rispoli Proposes XRP Integration

Following the SEC’s reduced penalty against Ripple, Rispoli believes that Elon Musk has a unique opportunity to challenge the regulatory body’s stance on cryptocurrencies. He proposes that integrating XRP, a cryptocurrency at the center of the SEC-Ripple case, into X Payments could serve as a symbolic declaration of defiance.

Rispoli acknowledges the importance of careful consideration and suggests that Musk seek counsel from Adam Mehes, X’s in-house litigation leader, before making any definitive decisions. However, the legal expert expresses optimism about the potential for Mehes to support such a move in light of the recent legal developments.

X Payments and Cryptocurrency Ambitions

Elon Musk has been vocal about his aspirations to transform X, formerly known as Twitter, into a comprehensive app offering a range of services, including financial management. A key component of this vision is X Payments, a payment platform currently under development.

While X Payments is initially set to support traditional fiat currencies, speculation has grown about the potential inclusion of cryptocurrencies given Musk’s known interest in digital assets such as Dogecoin and Bitcoin. However, there has been no official confirmation or timeline regarding the integration of cryptocurrencies into the platform.

Ripple CEO Highlights Industry Impact

The SEC’s partial defeat in the Ripple case has been met with widespread attention and analysis within the cryptocurrency community. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has characterized the ruling as a significant step forward for the XRP community, suggesting that the SEC’s regulatory challenges in this area may be diminishing.

The intersection of the SEC-Ripple case and Elon Musk’s business ventures has created a focal point for industry discussions. As X Payments continues to develop, the possibility of cryptocurrency integration remains a subject of interest.

While the integration of XRP, as suggested by Fred Rispoli, is purely speculative at this stage, it underscores the broader implications of the SEC-Ripple case for the cryptocurrency industry and the evolving landscape of digital payments.
