The United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s multi-year enforcement action against Ripple is finally coming to an end, according to the company CEO.

“This is it — the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal — a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it,” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse wrote on X on March 19.

“I’m finally able to announce that the case has ended; it’s over,” Garlinghouse said in the attached video to the X post.

The end of a long-running legal battle between Ripple and the SEC comes four years after the US securities regulator sued the company over an alleged $1.3 billion unregistered securities offering in December 2020.

“We’re now closing a chapter in crypto history,” Garlinghouse stated, adding that “it’s time to make the United States the crypto capital of the world.”
