Ripple has officially dropped its cross-appeal in the long-running SEC lawsuit, signaling the end of a nearly five-year

legal battle.

XRP jumped over 4% on the news, with CEO Brad Garlinghouse saying it’s time to "close the chapter."

The court’s ruling that XRP is not a security has cleared the way for institutional adoption and new

exchange listings.

As one crypto lawyer put it: “And then it ended.” With legal uncertainty gone, analysts predict XRP could

challenge Ethereum’s dominance in the coming years.

ETF analysts say it’s ‘all systems go’ for the first-ever Solana staking ETF in the U.S., as REX

Shares prepares to launch.

The SEC appears open to the fund’s unique structure, which could pave the way for more crypto ETFs.

This move is expected to boost Solana’s visibility and attract new institutional investors.

Coinbase has been named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies for 2025 and saw its stock surge

43% in June.

The company’s growth is fueled by stablecoin partnerships and new crypto-friendly legislation.

As TIME put it, Coinbase is a "disruptor" and a key driver of crypto policy in Washington, D.C.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has introduced ‘pluralistic identity’—a new digital ID system designed to protect privacy while enabling

fair participation online.

He warns that even privacy-focused IDs can have risks, but new zero-knowledge tech could help users prove their

identity without revealing personal details.

The Nimanode (NMA) presale is making waves, filling 35% as it prepares to launch its AI Agent Protocol

on the XRP Ledger.

Billed as the first no-code AI agent platform for XRP, Nimanode lets users build and monetize AI agents

with zero coding.

Early investors get exclusive rewards, and analysts predict strong upside as XRP’s ecosystem grows.

Robinhood has launched micro futures for Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP, making crypto trading more accessible.

Binance Alpha is airdropping REKT tokens, and Lista DAO’s total value locked hit a record $2.1 billion.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs saw $2.2 billion in inflows this week, and stablecoins are gaining traction with major banks.
