Despite the pause, Ripple executives, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse, have indicated they have no plans to appeal the decision. Garlinghouse hailed the ruling as a “victory for Ripple,” while the company’s legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, confirmed that Ripple would “respect the $125 million fine.”

 The SEC asked for $2B, and the Court reduced their demand by ~94% recognizing that they had overplayed their hand. We respect the Court’s decision and have clarity to continue growing our company.
 This is a victory for Ripple, the industry and the rule of law. The SEC’s…

However, former SEC lawyers have suggested that the company file a cross-appeal. If the fintech does not do this, the ex-SEC lawyers say that Ripple will admitting that it owes $125 million.

Amid the ongoing legal case with the SEC, Ripple continues to add to its product offerings. During a fireside chat at Korea Blockchain Week, <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/ripple-ceo-brad-garlinghouse-says-rlusd-stablecoin-is-only-weeks-from-launch" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Garlinghouse</a> said that the company’s stablecoin is weeks away from going live. The token will be USD-pegged and will trade under the ticker RLUSD.&nbsp;
In the past few weeks, the stablecoin has been in a private beta testing phase. The token is scheduled to be deployed on the Ethereum blockchain and Ripple’s XRP Ledger, which is the company’s institution-focused product. RLUSD will also follow the widely-adopted ERC-20 token standard, making it compatible with a vast number of DeFi protocols.

This stablecoin is not the only new development, as the company has added EVM-compatibility to the XRP Ledger as well. This will enable developers to deploy their own tokens on the ledger as well as build on-chain exchange platforms and other DeFi products.
