Ripple Moves Toward SEC Deal on XRP, CEO Bullish on $200K BTC

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that the company’s settlement with the SEC could involve paying the fine in XRP, highlighting a shift toward more supportive U.S. regulations for blockchain and crypto firms.

The deal, which is awaiting final approval, could see Ripple paying $50 million to the SEC, a major reduction from the initial $125 million escrowed. Garlinghouse also predicted Bitcoin’s price could reach $200,000, pointing to positive changes in U.S. policy as a driving force behind the crypto market’s growth.
