The legal fight between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is officially over. Last week, the SEC decided to drop its appeal, clearing the way for a final resolution that both sides have now agreed on. As part of the settlement, Ripple will pay a $50 million fine, which will be held in an interest-bearing account. Additionally, Ripple has agreed to drop its cross-appeal, meaning they won’t challenge the SEC’s earlier rulings anymore.

For years, crypto was seen as…
