A federal judge on Thursday ruled he sale of Ripple’s XRP tokens on exchanges and through algorithms did not constitute investment contracts.

Cryptocurrencies that the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) deemed unregistered securities in last month's lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance have posted double-digit percentage gains on the news of a favorable court ruling regarding Ripple's XRP.

Solana's (), Polygon's (), and Cardano's () are all higher by roughly 15% in Wednesday afternoon action.

In the seminal U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) case filed in 2020 against blockchain platform Ripple, a U.S. District Court Judge in the Southern District of New York that the sale of Ripple’s tokens on exchanges and through algorithms did not constitute investment contracts.

While it wasn't a complete victory for Ripple – the judge also ruled that institutional sale of the tokens did violate federal securities laws – the news has sent XRP soaring by 54% in afternoon trade.

It's been nearly two months since the trend of celebrities and politicians launching memecoins began. During this period, liquidity in the Solana ecosystem almost dried up. Pump.fun, which once saw over 2000 successful launches landing on DEXs daily, hit a low of just slightly over 50 new projects per day, marking a drop of nearly 97%. During the two months, Pump.fun also rolled out its own DEX, Pump Swap, while major centralized exchanges (CEXs) accelerated their transition and put toward products combining spot and on-chain transactions. These offerings help bridge the liquidity gap between CEXs and on-chain trading, in order to capture opportunities in early-stage tokens' hype and drive a faster recovery in Solana's on-chain liquidity.
