<p>In the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-settlement-expectations-runs-high-what-to-expect-on-april-16th/">SEC v. Ripple case</a>, while Ripple has seen some victories, it faces allegations of violating securities laws with its XRP sales. Now, the focus is on determining penalties, with the SEC seeking nearly $2 billion from Ripple. This hefty fine presents Ripple with a difficult choice: either <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/navigating-ripples-escrow-analyzing-the-ripple-effect-of-500m-xrp/">sell off XRP</a> in large quantities, potentially crashing the market, or sell the entire company to cover the fine. </p> 
<p>Ripple’s response on April 22 and the SEC’s reply on May 6 will pave the way for the court’s final decision if a settlement isn’t reached today.</p>

<p>Coinbase’s decision to pursue an interlocutory appeal in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has further complicated matters for Ripple. This appeal aims to clarify the definition of an “investment contract,” a crucial aspect that could significantly impact the crypto industry. </p> 
<p>The outcome of this appeal could establish important legal precedents affecting ongoing lawsuits, including the Ripple vs. SEC case.</p>

<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/xrp-ripple-price-prediction/">XRP’s price</a> has been under strain, dropping below key support levels amid increased market volatility.

The expansion of active <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/unraveling-the-usdc-xrp-amm-pool-imbalance-insights-from-a-ripple-labs-veteran/">XRPL liquidity pools</a> also signals continued engagement with the network despite uncertainties.</p>
