SEC vs Ripple case ends: Ripple must pay 125 million dollars

Judge Torres has made her final ruling in the SEC vs Ripple case, with a judgement that Ripple must pay fines/ penalties of just over 125 million dollars. This is much less than the 2 billion dollars the SEC was asking for.

This means the case is now over, though either side can appeal. If that happens, it could take a couple of years to resolve. However, the SEC cannot appeal the ruling that XRP is inherently not a security.
