$Ripple CEO calls judge’s ruling on XRP a key moment for crypto clarity

HTX  Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500U 💥

Four years, one lawsuit, and a mixed ruling later, Ripple’s CEO is taking a victory lap. Brad Garlinghouse called a federal judge’s determination that $XRP is not a security one of the most consequential moments in crypto regulation, arguing it opens the door for institutional adoption and clearer rules across the industry.

What the judge actually ruled
The SEC sued Ripple in December 2020, alleging the company sold $XRP as an unregistered security, raising $1.3 billion through those sales.

In July 2023, Judge Analisa Torres delivered a split decision. She found that Ripple’s institutional sales of $XRP did qualify as securities transactions. But programmatic sales of $XRP on public exchanges were not securities.

The SEC initially signaled it would appeal the ruling. Then, in March 2025, the agency dropped the appeal entirely. $XRP surged 10% to $2.55 on that news.

Garlinghouse’s take
During an interview on Fox Business, Garlinghouse called the ruling “brilliant” and declared the saga complete.

“I’m finally able to announce that this case is over. It’s over.”

Garlinghouse highlighted $XRP’s growing institutional use case, suggesting that banks and financial institutions are more willing to adopt assets that come with legal clarity.

The SEC did not immediately comment following the announcement. The court docket also remained unupdated after Garlinghouse’s public statements.

Why this matters beyond $XRP
One risk to monitor: the same ruling that freed programmatic $XRP sales also confirmed that institutional sales were securities violations. Ripple paid a $125M penalty as part of the resolution.

The asset was trading at $1.3849 as of late February 2026 according to MEXC data, well off the $2.55 high it hit when the SEC dropped its appeal

US Central Command confirms USS Truxtun, Rafael Peralta, and Mason in Arabian Sea after Iranian attacksUS Central Command has confirmed that three guided-missile destroyers, the USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason, are now operating in the Arabian Sea to reinforce the blockade against Iran. The deployment follows Iranian attacks involving missiles, drones, and small boats targeting US naval vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on May 8.

What happened in the Strait
Iranian forces launched a multi-pronged assault against the three US destroyers while they were operating near the Strait of Hormuz. The attack combined missiles, drones, and small boat harassment. The US responded with self-defense strikes and moved to reinforce an existing blockade designed to curtail Iranian energy exports.

In April, the US had already seized Iran-linked vessels in the region, escalating the maritime standoff well before the May 8 attack.

Prediction markets are pricing in chaos
Odds for the normalization of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz dropped from 77% to 61% favorable by May 31. That 16-percentage-point swing reflects a market consensus that the situation is deteriorating, not stabilizing.

Speculation around Iranian control of key regional assets fell to just 14.5% YES by June 30, following the US vessel seizures in April.

These prediction markets, many of them built on Ethereum, are seeing increased activity as traders look for ways to hedge against uncertainty.

The crypto angle runs deeper than you’d think
Iran has long relied on cryptocurrency mining as a tool to navigate international sanctions. The country’s relatively cheap energy, subsidized by its oil and gas reserves, made it a natural home for mining operations, with Iran once accounting for around 4.5% of the global Bitcoin hashrate.

Crypto Money Floods US Politics As PACs Spend $7.2M Across 5 States

With less than six months until US voters pick their next Congress, political action committees backed by crypto are making clear they intend to shape who gets elected — and who doesn’t.

A War Chest With Deep Pockets
Fairshake, a PAC funded by crypto companies, and two of its affiliates reported $7.2 million in media spending this week alone, targeting congressional races in Georgia, Alabama, Nebraska, Kentucky, and Texas.

The money came through two separate arms: Protect Progress, which backs Democratic candidates, and Defend American Jobs, which supports Republicans. Together, they reflect a deliberate effort to build influence on both sides of the aisle.

The numbers behind Fairshake are hard to ignore. According to federal filings, the group held more than $190 million as of January. In the 2024 election cycle, its affiliates burned through more than $130 million on political advertising.

That spending is widely credited with shifting the composition of the current Congress — the same body now weighing crypto legislation.
Kentucky Republican Andy Barr pulled in the largest single chunk of this week’s spending. Defend American Jobs directed more than $3.5 million in media support toward his US Senate campaign.


Barr has been a consistent advocate for crypto-friendly policy in Congress, voting in favor of both the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act.
