Ripple, a popular digital currency, saw significant gains of over 7% after the lawsuit filed against Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, and co-founder Chris Larsen was dismissed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This decision by the SEC has proven to be beneficial for Ripple as it signifies a strong victory for the cryptocurrency sector in the United States.
