The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said it would apply its oversight consistently with this interpretation.&nbsp;At the 2026 Blockchain Summit held at Washington DEC on Tuesday, the SEC Chairman Paul Atkins&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/DigitalChamber/status/2034002537599173063">said</a> that “after the SEC's persistent failure to provide clarity” for “more than a decade,” the commission had to rewrite the investment contract.

The case became central to the agency's approach to applying securities laws to digital assets. Three years later, Ripple won the lawsuit.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/ripple">Ripple’s XRP</a> was trading at $1.51, up by 0.1% over 24 hours.

The company contended that the token should be separated from the investment contracts associated with its sale. A crypto asset can exist independently of a securities classification depending on context, according to the SEC's most recent interpretation, which seems to move closer to that distinction.However, the reliance on the&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/howey_test">Howey Test</a> has not been erased. The Howey Test, in place since 1946, is a standardised framework for determining whether a transaction qualifies as an investment contract. The SEC’s new guidance reflects a shift from enforcement-driven ambiguity toward clearer regulatory definitions.Industry experts contend that, because cryptocurrency is decentralized, dynamic, and utility-driven, the Howey Test struggles to apply to it, as it assumes centralized actors and static assets. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/HesterPeirce/status/1148302756643594240">said</a> that it “[felt] like a regulatory version of an escape room.&nbsp;Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/ethereum-enters-leverage-fueled-equilibrium-blackrock-data-shows/cZ37en9RIgf">Ethereum Enters Leverage-Fueled Equilibrium After ‘Silver Bullet’ Boost From BlackRock, Data Shows</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

XRP Outperforms Top Cryptos With 12% Rally Amid Market Recovery

The price of Ripple’s native token jumped by more than 12% in early morning trade on Monday – more than double the gains of any other token in the top 10.

Ripple (XRP) announced Wednesday that it has raised $500 million in new funding at a $40 billion valuation, a move CEO Brad Garlinghouse described as the “cherry on top” for the year.&nbsp;“This investment isn’t just validation of Ripple’s growth strategy and business built on the foundation of XRP, but also a clear bet on what the future of crypto will look like,” he <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1986071514890871293">wrote</a> in a post on X.<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1986071514890871293" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img style="aspect-ratio:918/930;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_11_05_093312_png_9f8cd347c8.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-11-05 093312.png" width="918" height="930"></a><figcaption>@bgarlinhouse/X</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">Funds To Accelerate Stablecoin, Custody, And Prime Brokerage Growth</h2>Ripple stated that it will use its new funds to accelerate growth in custody solutions, stablecoins, and prime brokerage services. The company justified its spending, stating that these areas are experiencing an increase in institutional demand, particularly as the regulatory environment surrounding cryptocurrencies in the U.S. continues to evolve.The company has been doubling down on its payments infrastructure since the passage of the GENIUS Act in July. Earlier this year, Ripple acquired stablecoin infrastructure company Rail, integrating Ripple USD (RLUSD) and XRP into a full-service cross-border payments platform. GTreasury, acquired in October, allows institutions to manage trillions in treasury payments and collateral using stablecoins and digital assets.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Plans For Ripple Prime</h2>Ripple also recently completed its acquisition of Hidden Road, now Ripple Prime, where RLUSD is already deployed as collateral. The company said that, since the acquisition, client collateral has doubled, average daily transactions have exceeded 60 million, and the business has tripled in size. It added that Ripple Prime is expanding into collateralized lending for XRP.The company stated that it has processed more than $95 billion in Ripple Payments volumes to date, and earlier this week, its stablecoin, RLUSD, surpassed $1 billion in market capitalization.&nbsp;However, the funding round drew criticism from some in the crypto community. Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius Labs and a privacy coin advocate, questioned Ripple’s ethos, saying in a <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/0xMert_/status/1986075996765003824">post</a> on X, “Citadel leading a round into Ripple XRP is like Pfizer leading a round into heroin needle technology.

XRP, Dogecoin Prices Slide Despite Record First-Day ETF Trading Volumes

According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the REX-Osprey XRP ETF saw $37.7 million in volume, while the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF saw $17 million in volume traded on the first day on the market. 

XRP and Dogecoin exchange-traded funds saw strong investor appetite during their trading debut on Thursday.According to an X post by Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the REX-Osprey XRP ETF, which listed on the CBOE under the ticker XRPR, logged a trading volume of $37.7 million, the largest for any ETF listing this year.In just over an hour of trading, XRPR already booked $24 million in activity, which was five times more than any XRP futures ETF achieved on its debut. “That is way more than I would have thought,” Balchunas said before calling it the standout performer of the day.The strong debut highlighted how investors are looking beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum to park their investment. The XRP coin’s market capitalization currently stands at over $181 billion, higher than heavyweights like BlackRock and Boeing. XRP-parent Ripple, which facilitates cross-border payments, is seeking a U.S. banking license.The ETF of Dogecoin, the biggest memecoin in terms of market capitalization, also saw $17 million in trading activity, as per Balchunas, which puts it in the top five debuts of the year.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XRPR">XRPR</a> was in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory at the time of writing, while retail chatter was ‘extremely high.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:709/81;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/XRPR_sept_18_JPG_48d670d0dc.webp" alt="XRPR-sept 18.JPG" width="709" height="81"><figcaption>XRPR’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:54 a.m. ET on Sept. 19, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Separately, on Wednesday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relaxed listing rules for cryptocurrency and other spot commodity exchange-traded products. This cleared a significant hurdle for crypto-focused ETFs, as the SEC earlier required a case-by-case review for any new listing.However, major cryptocurrencies edged lower in the early hours of Friday. Bitcoin prices slipped 0.2% to $116,881, Ethereum fell 0.9% to $4,535.55, and XRP slipped 1.3% to $3.04, according to data from CoinGecko.After reaching record highs of $124,000 in August, Bitcoin prices have stayed below $120,000 over the past few weeks, despite record gains in stock markets and bullion.While the Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rates by 25 basis points earlier this week, Chair Jerome Powell struck a cautious tone, which made investors wonder if the Federal Reserve could deliver lesser-than-expected future cuts.On Friday, approximately $3.5 billion of Bitcoin options are expected to expire, according to Deribit data, which could lead to further volatility.Traders on Stocktwits were ‘neutral’ about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BTC.X">Bitcoin</a> at the time of writing.
