No More XRP Reports: Can This Help Ripple Stay Ahead of the SEC—and Send Prices Soaring?

Key Insights

• Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse took to Twitter to announce new changes to how Ripple will share its XRP holdings.
• According to Garlinghouse, regulatory agencies like the SEC “weaponized” Ripple’s transparency with its quarterly reports.
• As such, these reports will now be paused, and investors will receive updates from the official X account/Ripple website.
• Amid all of this, Ripple had a strong Q1, and XRP could be on its way towards the $3 price level or higher.

According to reports, Ripple started 2025 with a bang.

The company recently shared its Q1 report, which shows a series of encouraging milestones.

All of these not only show Ripple’s dominance in the crypto space, it also sets the stage for new changes in the future.

Here are some of the most recent updates from Ripple’s latest publication.

Ripple’s New Changes and Why They’re Happening

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse took to Twitter to announce new changes to how Ripple will share its XRP holdings.

The company started publishing quarterly reports on aspects of its operations as far back as 2017.

However, according to Garlinghouse, regulatory agencies like the SEC “weaponized” this transparency.

Garlinghouse mentioned that these reports played a major role in the SEC/Ripple lawsuit that has raged on since 2020.

As such, Ripple will no longer release quarterly reports but will now move to real-time data reporting via its website.

This change is meant to reaffirm Ripple’s stance on transparency while avoiding problems with misinterpretation by regulators or other entities.

Ripple will continue to use its official social media channels as well as its website to share updates about its operations.

Is $3 Within Reach?

XRP’s price is still trading above the $2 price level despite facing bearish headwinds at the beginning of the week.

The cryptocurrency is currently trading in a falling wedge formation, which is typically a bullish formation.

Analysts believe that a successful break out of this formation could push the cryptocurrency up towards $2.4 in the short term.

If momentum builds from here, XRO might even retest anywhere between the $2.75 to $3.4 range.

Still, for this to happen, the general market outlook needs to stabilize. Overall, the current outlook for Ripple paints a major bullish picture for XRP.

More on bullish pictures, Ripple’s report also shows that there is some growing interest in XRP-based financial products.

Q1 alone saw XRP-related ETPs rake in inflows of $37.7 million. This has brought the year-to-date total to $214 million, which brings XRP close to beating Ethereum’s global inflows.

SEC Drops Its Appeal

In Q1, the SEC also informed Ripple that it would withdraw its appeal.

Ripple responded by withdrawing its own cross-appeal, and now both parties have agreed on a reduced penalty of $50 million.

This stands as a major reduction from the proposed $125 million, as well as an ongoing petition for the court to lift the permanent injunction against Ripple.

If the court approves both of these settlements, it could be the end of the legal battle that Ripple says "tested the limits of regulatory overreach."

It will also clear the path further for Ripple to focus on expansion without the SEC’s legal case hanging overhead.

Overall, if the momentum on XRP continues as it has from the first quarter, the expected $3 price point may not be out of reach after all.

However, more than just price, Ripple seems focused on building a lasting impression in the finance space.
