XRP surges after SEC allows Ripple to resume capital raising
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has waived Ripple’s “bad actor” designation, allowing the company to raise private capital again.
The August 8 decision follows the resolution of the agency’s five-year lawsuit against the firm, reports Cryptopolitan.
The waiver, issued under Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) of the Securities Act, was necessary because Judge Analisa Torres declined to dissolve a final injunction tied to Ripple’s 2020 case. This injunction, stemming from the ruling that XRP sales to private investors constituted unregistered securities, had prevented Ripple from participating in certain fundraising activities.
Ripple restored to pre-lawsuit status
Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton called the move “the final diamond in the crown” of Ripple’s legal victory, saying it effectively returns the company to its pre-2020 position. Ripple can now raise funds in private markets “as if the lawsuit and $125 million fine never happened,” Deaton said. The XRP community has widely celebrated the outcome, viewing it as a turning point for the token’s long-term prospects. Still, some holders remain critical of the SEC, arguing that years of litigation hindered XRP’s growth and caused prolonged investor losses.
XRP rallies as bullish sentiment builds
XRP has risen more than 12% in the past week, trading at $3.338, with 30-day gains of 36.76% and year-to-date growth of 43.86%—outperforming both Ethereum and Bitcoin in 2025. Santiment data shows utility spikes on the XRP Ledger, historically a bullish signal. Glassnode reports a 208% jump in 24-hour perpetual futures volume to $12.4 billion, surpassing Solana. Open interest is up 15% to $5.9 billion, with positive funding rates indicating most traders are betting long. Analysts see room for further upside but caution that high leverage increases liquidation risks if prices reverse.
