A cross-appeal allows a party to challenge a different portion of a court ruling after an appeal has already been initiated. Ripple\u2019s decision to drop the challenge suggests the company is now prioritizing regulatory closure and operational focus over further courtroom engagement.<\/p>\n
Comes After Judge Denies Joint Request to Lift Injunction<\/h2>\n
The announcement follows Judge Analisa Torres\u2019 denial of a joint request by Ripple and the SEC to dissolve a standing injunction. Under the proposed motion, $50 million of the $75 million fine would have been directed to the SEC, with the remaining $25 million allocated to Ripple \u2014 an arrangement both parties agreed to.<\/p>\n
The judge, however, declined the motion, citing the lack of any substantial change in facts since the original ruling. Ripple\u2019s decision to withdraw its cross-appeal may reflect a strategic shift to end further delays and uncertainty.<\/p>\n
