Crypto News Update: XRP Jumps 18% After Ripple Wins SEC Ruling on Institutional Sales

Ripple Labs secured a major legal victory on July 29, 2025, as a U.S. federal court ruled that XRP sales to institutional investors do not constitute securities transactions under the Howey Test. The price of XRP surged by over 18% within 24 hours of the announcement.

⚖️ Background of the Case

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had sued Ripple Labs in 2020, claiming that XRP was being sold as an unregistered security. After years of back-and-forth:

• In 2023, a partial ruling declared retail sales of XRP not securities.
• The recent 2025 ruling expanded that protection to institutional sales as well.

💬 Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse said:

“This is not just a win for Ripple, but for crypto innovation across the U.S.”

📈 Market Reaction

• XRP price spiked from $0.57 to $0.67 in one day.
• XRP trading volume on major platforms, including Xoibit, doubled.
• Broader altcoin sentiment improved, with coins like XLM, ALGO, and HBAR seeing upticks.

🌍 Implications for Crypto

• This could serve as precedent in future SEC cases (e.g., vs. Coinbase or Uniswap).
• Encourages institutional participation in previously scrutinized tokens.
• Improves legal clarity for token issuers and investors alike.
