After years of uncertainty, the U.S. crypto industry may finally be entering a new chapter. A major legal battle between Ripple vs SEC has officially ended, and fresh efforts are underway to build clearer, fairer rules for digital assets. In a new Crypto In One Minute episode, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, confirmed that the U.S. SEC has officially dropped all crypto-related lawsuits, including its long-standing case against Ripple. The final appeal was withdrawn in March 2025, putting an end to years of legal battles. Ripple vs SEC Lawsuit Ends While the SEC has closed all crypto cases, some people still believe the Ripple vs SEC isn’t over. But as crypto analyst Vincent Van Code pointed out, Alderoty has clearly stated that the case is done, ending all doubts with just a few words. Alderoty explained that the main problem was the lack of clear rules. For years, the SEC tried to control the crypto industry using old laws that weren’t made for digital assets. This led to confusion and unfair penalties for many crypto companies. Alderoty said, “You can’t punish an industry for rules it was never given.” Now, Ripple is working closely with lawmakers to help build new crypto laws that make sense.

The goal is to make sure crypto can grow without harming the public. Alderoty believes this shift gives the U.S. a chance to lead in global digital finance by creating fair rules that help both companies and investors. Big Meeting Between Ripple and New SEC Chair Ripple’s Executive Chairman, Chris Larsen, met with new SEC Chair, Paul Atkins, on May 2, 2025. Atkins, who was appointed under a more crypto-friendly administration, has already said the SEC should support the industry instead of slowing it down. This meeting could help bring even more clarity about XRP’s status and how Ripple’s technology fits into the future of finance. Is an XRP ETF Coming? With all this progress, excitement is building. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas predicts there’s now an 85% chance that an XRP ETF will be approved in 2025. XRP is currently trading at $2.23, up over 3% in the last 24 hours.
