Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently tweeted about the firm\u2019s decision to withdraw its appeal and what that means for XRP.<\/p>\n<p>In the last week of June, Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty noted that Judge Analisa Torres had put the ball back in Ripple\u2019s court. The company was faced with two options: dismiss its appeal challenging the ruling on historic XRP sales to institutions or proceed with the appeal.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With this, the ball is back in our court.
