Ripple Labs has secured a major victory in the XRP lawsuit as a U.S. court approved a motion to expedite issuing a final judgment in the case. This move is seen as a critical step toward resolving the case that has lingered for years, impacting Ripple and its native token, XRP.
Court Moves for Faster Resolution
In a positive move for Ripple, the latest court ruling amended an earlier decision, paving the way for a faster resolution. According to court filings, both Ripple and the plaintiffs jointly agreed there was no need to delay the judgment, as most class claims had been resolved.
However, the court also granted Ripple’s request for an amended judgment, addressing uncertainties about the case’s finality. Although the judgment moves forward, one claim for relief against Ripple remains on hold until the appeals process concludes.
Meanwhile, both parties are expected to file a motion to lift the stay within 30 days after appeals are resolved. Alongside these developments, Ripple submitted extensive litigation cost records, reflecting the effort behind its defense.
