Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton says Ripple was beyond saving, 75,000 XRP holders changed the game
Support from 75,000 XRP holders is again drawing attention as a factor that helped Ripple executives endure a lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. John Deaton, a U.S. Senate candidate and crypto-focused lawyer, said many XRP holders played an important role in sustaining management during the case and criticised the SEC’s litigation strategy. He cited remarks by former SEC chair Jay Clayton and praised Ripple executives for not backing down during the protracted dispute.
