Ripple has been fighting a legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over securities issues. However, in a new development, a federal court issued an injunction to stop Ripple from breaking securities laws in the future.
Ripple’s Legal Battle and Penalties
The firm was ordered to pay $125 million in civil penalties. District Judge Analisa Torres of the Southern District decided after Ripple violated securities laws in 1,278 institutional sales, which resulted in a $125.035 million fine.
This amount is almost twelve times greater than Ripple’s $10 million proposal, even though it is 94% less than the $1.9 billion fine that the SEC had suggested.
XRP’s Market Volatility
Amidst this, XRP’s market was volatile. The asset saw a significant spike to a high of $0.63. At press time, the altcoin was undergoing a slight setback and was trading at $0.60, with a 2.52% drop over the past 24 hours. It should be noted that the asset was trading much higher than it was earlier this week. The asset dipped to a low of $0.43.
