Ripple Labs' decision to withdraw its cross-appeal against the U.S. SEC marks the end of a prolonged legal battle, potentially clearing the path for a spot XRP ETF. Nate Geraci, president of THE ETF Store, highlighted that this resolution could facilitate BlackRock's participation in launching such an ETF. Ripple's move to comply with the court's previous ruling signals a significant step towards resolving disputes that began with the SEC's lawsuit in 2019.
