Prominent market watcher Xaif drew attention on X to a notable development: XRP does not appear on Forbes’ list of “alleged SEC securities” assets ranked by market cap. For the XRP community, often called the XRP Army, this absence carries strong symbolic weight.&nbsp;
For years, XRP was at the center of regulatory scrutiny, frequently grouped with tokens alleged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to be unregistered securities. Seeing XRP excluded from the list now is being hailed as a significant signal of changing perceptions.

Forbes maintains dedicated pages for different categories of digital assets, one of which includes those the SEC has allegedly treated as securities in past enforcement actions. Similarly, sites like CoinMarketCap provide a curated list under “alleged SEC securities.”&nbsp;

As of the latest check, that list features major projects such as BNB, Solana, Cardano, and Tron. Notably, XRP is absent. Xaif highlighted this omission as a potential marker of how XRP is now viewed by data providers and, by extension, by the broader market.
<h2 id="b-the-legal-context-behind-xrp-s-shift-b">The Legal Context Behind XRP’s Shift</h2>
The omission aligns with recent legal milestones in the Ripple-SEC case, which had weighed on XRP since December 2020. In July 2023, <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-price-explodes-as-judge-rules-in-favor-of-ripple-declares-xrp-not-a-security/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP itself is not a security</a> when traded on secondary markets, a pivotal moment in the case.&nbsp;
Fast forward to June 2025, Ripple and the SEC attempted to settle on penalties, but Judge Torres rejected their joint request. Soon after, <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-ceo-confirms-end-of-sec-lawsuit-says-were-closing-this-chapter/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple’s CEO confirmed the company would withdraw its counter-appeal,</a> with the SEC expected to do the same.&nbsp;
By early August 2025, the appeals process was effectively concluded, leaving the final judgment in place and bringing the multi-year legal battle to an end. These steps eliminated much of the regulatory cloud that had long defined XRP’s narrative.

<h2 id="b-market-implications-and-sentiment-b">Market Implications and Sentiment</h2>
For XRP holders, this development is more than symbolic. The absence from Forbes’ list is being celebrated as proof of what many in the community have long argued — XRP is a utility token, not a security.&nbsp;
The regulatory clarity achieved through the courts has already shifted market sentiment, with institutional interest and retail confidence rising in tandem. Traders now view XRP less as a legal risk and more as a viable large-cap asset positioned for adoption in payments and cross-border settlement solutions.
At the same time, analysts caution that the omission from an editorial or data list is not itself a legal ruling. These lists reflect interpretations and editorial choices, not direct SEC statements. Nonetheless, for the XRP Army, the optics are powerful: XRP has shed one of its heaviest burdens, and the narrative of victory is fueling renewed bullish momentum.
Xaif’s post captures the sentiment of a community that has weathered years of regulatory battles. With <a href="https://timestabloid.com/legal-expert-xrp-itself-was-is-and-forever-will-be-not-a-security/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> no longer appearing among assets labeled “alleged SEC securities” by outlets such as Forbes and CoinMarketCap, Ripple supporters see validation of their long-held stance.&nbsp;
While lists are not binding legal declarations, they mirror the reality of XRP’s improved regulatory position and underscore why many believe the next stage of the token’s journey — potentially its strongest bull run yet — is just beginning.
