Ripple, a blockchain company, is moving towards ending its legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after the regulator announced its intention to withdraw its appeal.
The proposed penalty for Ripple has been reduced from $125 million to $50 million as a result of the company dropping its cross-appeal in response to the SEC's move.
The SEC has requested the court to vacate the injunction against Ripple, hinting at a potential settlement and marking progress in the crypto sector's legal landscape.
Ripple's update reflects a positive shift in regulatory enforcement in the crypto industry, with the SEC de-escalating legal actions against various major crypto firms alongside progress in Ripple's corporate growth.
