The filing fulfilled the requirements set in July and asked the parties to file a lawsuit while the appeals court seeks final decision on the terms of the settlement.
That request follows a new motion in New York’s Southern District, which proposes to redistributing Ripple’s $125 million penalty, with $50 million back to the SEC and $75 million back to Ripple. However, Judge Analisa Torres refused the bid.
The SEC and Ripple are currently awaiting approval of the provisions to formally dismiss the Court of Appeals’ appeal.
Once fired is permitted, the lawsuit proceeds to enforcement, requiring Ripple to meet the $125 million penalty and to comply with the terms of the injunction.
The result is that XRP is not considered the security of secondary transactions, but Judge Torres’ awards, where certain institutional sales are subject to securities laws, remain intact.
