XRP is defying expectations, recording a significant surge in bullish sentiment even in the wake of Ripple’s recent legal setback with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to analyst Xaif, social data from Santiment reveals that XRP’s bullish-to-bearish comment ratio has climbed to 2.1 to 1, its highest level in over two weeks. This renewed optimism starkly contrasts with the declining sentiment around Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), both of which are showing signs of fatigue across social platforms. Ripple-SEC Case Nears Conclusion The shift in sentiment comes just days after a critical development in the Ripple-SEC legal saga. On June 26, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres formally rejected the refiled joint motion submitted by Ripple and the SEC. The proposed motion had sought to modify the court’s earlier judgment by reducing Ripple’s penalty from $125 million to $50 million and lifting the standing injunction against its institutional XRP sales. BREAKING: XRP Sees Abnormally Bullish Sentiment Despite Ripple v. SEC Setback! highest in 2+ weeks, outshining BTC & ETH #XRP #Ripple #Crypto pic.twitter.com/XtLycKbIp4 — 𝕏aif | (@Xaif_Crypto) June 27, 2025 Her decision reinforced the validity of the court’s July 2023 final judgment, which still holds Ripple liable for a $125 million penalty and enforces a permanent injunction on certain XRP transactions. Appeals Withdrawn, Case Winds Down Despite the setback, Ripple has opted to bring the legal battle to an end. On June 27, CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that the company would withdraw its counter-appeal . The SEC is also expected to drop its appeal. With both sides moving away from further litigation, the case is finally winding down after more than three years of court proceedings. The withdrawal of appeals signals that neither party intends to continue disputing the terms of the standing final judgment. For XRP holders, this conclusion brings long-awaited clarity. Although the court declined to reduce Ripple’s penalty or lift the injunction, the fact that the matter is now essentially closed eliminates the legal overhang that has clouded XRP’s future since late 2020.

Many investors view the resolution as a net positive, particularly since the most important aspect of the July 2023 ruling remains intact: Judge Torres ruled that XRP is not a security, and that Ripple’s programmatic sales did not violate securities laws. While Ripple was found liable for its institutional sales, the decision marked a major legal victory for the broader crypto industry and a defining moment for XRP’s regulatory status. As the legal dust settles, XRP’s sentiment spike reflects more than just relief; it’s a sign of confidence in the token’s long-term viability. With legal risks behind it, XRP is now poised to reenter the spotlight based on its use case, technology, and adoption potential, rather than its courtroom drama. A Turning Point for XRP XRP’s rising sentiment underscores a broader narrative shift. XRP is emerging from its defining legal battle with one of the clearest legal profiles in the digital asset space. Xaif’s sentiment analysis captures a community that is no longer weighed down by litigation but is instead looking forward, with renewed conviction. For traders and investors alike, this may mark the beginning of a new phase for XRP—one focused on growth, clarity, and market momentum.
