On Friday, the CEO of the Rupa Labs Brad Garling House said that the company jumped more than 3 % on Friday after leaving its cross appeal against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and expected that the regulator would do the same.
The Garling House said in an X post on Friday, “The rape is leaving our cross appeal, and is expected to quit his appeal from the SEC, as he said earlier.” According to CoinMarketcap data, the XRP (XRP), the cryptocurrency affiliated with the Rip Labs, increased by 3.36 % to $ 2.18 after just five hours of the post.

The Garling House added, “We are closing this chapter once and for everyone and focusing on what is most important.
The announcement was made by the US District Court a day after the SEC denied a joint movement, and Ripal requested an indicator decision to reduce the civil fines of $ 125 million and explain the primary sale of XRP for the Securities Transaction under Article 5 of the Securities Act.
Judge Anlaisa Torus said, “Finally, the court approved a share for the SEC for restraining and urban penalties because the court found that the willingness of the rape to advance the ‘(summary verdict) order shows the possibility that if it is not already, it does not cross the line.”
Ripal’s lawyer says the XRP legal status is “no change.”
Following the verdict, Stuart Eldroti, the Chief Legal Officer of the Rupal, said, “The ball has returned to our court.”
“The court gave us two powers: reject our appeal by challenging the search for historical institutional sales – or press with the appeal,” said Eldroti.
He added, “In any way, there is no change in security as a legal XRP.”
“In the meantime, this is the usual business.”
If the SEC also leaves its appeal, it can end the legal battle between the Rupal Labs and the US regulator, which has been going on for more than four years.

In December 2020, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Rupa Labs, Chris Larson and CEO Brad Garling House.
The main claim of the SEC was that Ripal had collected $ 1.3 billion by selling XRP as unregistered security, which violated federal security rules.
In August 2024, the Garling House argued that Taurus’s decision to fix 125 million was “victory” for the firm, which pointed out that it was 94 % loss of $ 2 billion from the SEC’s preliminary project.
