He emphasized that once this regulatory uncertainty is resolved and U.S. policy becomes clearer, Ripple aims to become “the most trusted source for enterprise support for crypto solutions in the US.”

Ripple’s Legal Wins Against the SEC
Over the past year, Ripple won major legal battles against the SEC, led by Gary Gensler. In summer 2023, Federal Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP sales on secondary markets are not securities. This ruling granted XRP a non-security status, which the SEC has since avoided using in lawsuits against crypto exchanges.

This year, the SEC sought $2 billion in fines and compensation from Ripple for the legal battle. However, the court ordered Ripple to pay only $125 million, a reduction from Ripple’s initial offer of $10 million.
