The dry and Ripple labs jointly filed a request today requesting the approval of the court for a settlement agreement of $ 50 million which would end its long -standing legal dispute and would dissolve the current injunction against Ripple.
Depending on the conditions proposed, Ripple would pay $ 50 million to the dry, while receiving the remaining part of $ 125 million detained in sequestration.
The agreement, submitted to the judge Analisa Torres in the South New York district, would conclude a legal battle which began in December 2020 when the SEC accused the undulation of carrying out offerings of securities not registered through XRP sales.
The parties are looking for an “indicative decision” under rule 62.1 to continue the settlement. If they are granted, they plan to file a joint request from the second Circuit Court of Appeals to make the case before the District Court for final resolution. The appeal of the dry and the call for the call of Ripple have been suspended since April during the settlement negotiations.
The settlement preserves the decision to judge the summary of July 2023 of the Court, which determined that the institutional sales of XRP of Ripple have violated the laws on securities while noting that its programmatic and secondary sales have not done so. Under the agreement, none of the parties will dispute or seek to leave this decision.
The two parties stressed the public interest in effectively resolving the case. The SEC confirmed that the civil sanction of $ 50 million aligns on the federal securities law and meets the established standards of the second circuit for equity and legality.
Defense lawyer, James Filan, noted that if the Torres judge makes the decision indicative, the case will return to his court for final approval of the conditions of settlement. Once the injunction is lifted and the funds distributed, the two parties will withdraw their calls and the case will be completed.
