- XRP community demands Ripple lawsuit resolution after SECās new approval.
- SEC’s ETP update met with backlash from XRP supporters.
- Ripple case delays spark frustration despite broader crypto regulatory progress.
The XRP community once again took center stage online after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a major regulatory update.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced via X that the Commission had approved in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), which marks a significant shift in the regulatory framework for digital assets.
“I’m pleased to share the SEC approved in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto ETPs,” Atkins posted on X. “The approvals continue to build a rational regulatory framework for crypto, leading to a deeper and more dynamic market, which will benefit all American investors”.

While the announcement was intended to reflect progress for crypto investment products, it was quickly met with criticism from XRP supporters. The comment section under Atkinsā post became dominated by demands for updates on the long-running SEC v. Ripple case.

A user identified as @ToastmanTech responded directly: āAwesome! Can ya’ll vote to approve the proposed settlement agreement, finalizing the $50 million fine and lifting the injunction against Ripple? That would be nice. Thanks!ā
The sentiment was echoed by others. āThatās how you know itās all rigged and a f*cking show,ā wrote @fen1619. āThe only asset ruled on in court not to be a security, the only corrupt lawsuit, yet everything else is dropped and approved before Ripple or XRP.ā
User @sofaking1776 provided further detail on the situation, saying, āUnfortunately, we are down to no settlement since Torres declined it. Now itās just both parties dismissing their appeals and Ripple accepting final judgement which is $125M and the injunction. Thatās it. The delay is interesting.ā

Another prominent voice, @XRPGODKING, directly addressed the SEC Chair, stating: āWhen are you going to announce the final outcome of the Ripple case? Stop wasting time and taxpayer dollars. Do your job, sir in a timely manner.ā
SECās Crypto Moves Fail to Satisfy XRP Holders Amid Legal Uncertainty
Despite growing momentum around regulatory clarity for other digital assets, XRP continues to be left out of key approvals. The SEC recently expanded crypto allowances, including greenlighting a mixed Bitcoin-Ether ETP and raising limits on Bitcoin options trading.
However, XRP remains excluded from those advancements. Community members have voiced concern that XRP is being sidelined, even after a federal court ruled it is not a security when sold to the general public.
Ripple has stated its intention to dismiss its appeal, and many expected the SEC to follow. Yet, the agency has remained silent as it approaches a court-imposed deadline. The SEC is required to submit a formal status report on the case by August 15, according to the appellate court schedule.
The SECās approval of new rules for crypto ETPs may have been a regulatory milestone, but the backlash from the XRP Army highlights a growing divide. Until the Ripple lawsuit is resolved, XRP supporters show no signs of shifting their focus.
