The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC has significantly influenced XRP’s price action. The 2020 lawsuit against Ripple centered around the sale of its XRP tokens without registering them as securities, a claim that Ripple disputed in court. Last year, a court ruling partially cleared XRP of being classified as a security, granting a partial victory to Ripple and the broader cryptocurrency sector.
However, the SEC’s most recent appeal has reintroduced uncertainty into the market. On Wednesday, the agency appealed the ruling, seeking to increase Ripple’s penalty from $125 million. As a result, XRP experienced a sharp decline, falling as much as 11% to $0.51.
