⚖️ Enforcement & Litigation Docket
Matters that shape how XRP may be sold, held and listed. Summaries are plain-language and are not legal advice.
| Matter | Forum | Posture |
|---|---|---|
| SEC v. Ripple Labs The long-running action ended in 2025. The 2023 summary-judgment holding — that programmatic exchange sales did not meet the Howey test while institutional sales did — stands as the operative outcome, together with a civil penalty. | S.D.N.Y. / 2d Cir. | CLOSED |
| Ripple — OCC charter Ripple's national trust bank application remains a live regulatory question rather than a litigation matter, but it sits on the same critical path for institutional access. | Office of the Comptroller | PENDING |
| Private class actions The principal investor class litigation against Ripple has been resolved. Residual filings appear periodically and are tracked here as they arise. | US federal and state | LARGELY RESOLVED |
| Exchange-side matters Enforcement aimed at trading venues rather than at XRP itself can still affect XRP market access, so it is monitored on this page. | Various | ONGOING |

🔗 Stablecoin Regulatory Overlay
Stablecoin rules move separately from the rest of digital-asset regulation, and they increasingly govern the settlement instruments that ride on the XRP Ledger. This is where those two tracks meet.
RLUSD
Ripple
Regime: US payment-stablecoin framework; NYDFS-supervised issuance
Ripple's own dollar stablecoin. Reserve-backed and redeemable at par by design. This is the Ripple-issued instrument that stablecoin rules actually apply to.

USDC
Circle
Regime: US payment-stablecoin framework; EU e-money token under MiCA

EURC and other euro tokens

XRP is not a stablecoin. XRP is a floating-price digital asset with no peg, no issuer redemption promise and no reserve backing. RLUSD is Ripple's stablecoin. Payment-stablecoin legislation such as the GENIUS Act governs instruments like RLUSD — it does not govern XRP. Conflating the two is the single most common error in coverage of this topic.
