In a recent court filing, the SEC requested an indicative ruling from Judge Analisa Torres as part of its settlement agreement with Ripple.

Additionally, the agency has requested the release of the $125 million penalty imposed on Ripple, which is currently held in escrow. This development marks a pivotal moment in the high-profile case as both parties work toward bringing the litigation to a close.
