Oh, the drama! For years, Ripple’s tiff with the SEC was the talk of the town, the star of every XRP party, the reason your crypto-curious Aunt Mabel muttered, “Not this again.” Price stalled? Adoption limped? Investors frowned? “Blame the lawsuit!” they’d chorus, like a broken kazoo band.
But hark! Sir William Morgan, knight of the pro-XRP realm, declares the curtain’s fallen. “Move along,” he says, tossing confetti over the legal rubble. “Nothing more to see here!”
The $125 Million “Oopsie”
Jake Claver, CEO of Digital Ascension Group (a man who clearly enjoys late-night Twitter sleuthing), pinged lawyer James K. Filan with a poser: “Did Ripple really cough up that $125 million?”
Enter Marc Fagel, retired securities lawyer and part-time truth-slinger: “Oh, they paid it. August 18th. Like clockwork. 🕒💸”
The $125m penalty was paid to the US Treasury last month.

Bill Morgan: Lawsuit Excuse? More Like “Ex-HAIRCUT”
Ripple’s paid the fine. The lawsuit’s ghost has vacated the building. So why’s XRP still acting like a confused pigeon? 🐦❓
Bill Morgan, ever the bluntness bard, quipped: “The ‘lawsuit’ excuse has flapped its last. No more hiding behind that curtain, XRP!”
In short: If XRP’s price is snoozing and adoption’s playing hide-and-seek, don’t blame the legal boogeyman. Blame… well, maybe XRP itself? 🤷♂️
XRP: The Price That Forgot How to Soar
Despite a sparkly new U.S. ETF and a “W” against the SEC, XRP’s doing the limbo. 🌊📉 It dipped below $2.80, slipping from third to fourth place in the crypto popularity contest. Third place? Fourth place? Who’s counting? 🤷♀️
But wait! Japan’s Gumi stuffed 2.5 billion yen ($17 million!) into an XRP vault. And Flare Network? They’re whipping up a stablecoin backed by XRP, because why not add DeFi wizardry to the mix? 🧙♂️
The first XRP-backed stablecoin comes to @FlareNetworks with @enosys_global Loans
→ Launching with FXRP and wFLR, then stXRP and other FAssets
→ Backed by Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs) mechanism
→ @LiquityProtocol V2 friendly fork + Stability pools + FTSO-powered…– Flare (@FlareNetworks) September 19, 2025
So here we are. The legal hocus-pocus is gone. The ecosystem’s chugging like a candy-coated train. But XRP’s still stuck in “meh” mode. What’s holding it back? A curse? A typo? Or is it just… waiting for a personality transplant? 🧨
