After the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concluded its five-year legal dispute with Ripple Labs in August 2025, XRP’s regulatory challenges have eased considerably. The court determined that secondary market

Ripple’s global payment solutions, such as its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) platform, have drawn interest from leading banks and remittance providers like Santander and SBI Holdings, who use XRP to cut down on liquidity expenses and speed up settlements.
