Ripple lawsuit decision now more significant than ever, crypto lawyer says why
John Deaton, XRP holders' attorney and founder of CryptoLaw, has recently tweeted that Judge Torres' ruling in the Ripple lawsuit is becoming potentially more significant as each day passes. He then justified his answer by giving two possible outcomes of the case. If the ruling brings good judgment for XRP, it will be wonderful news for other coins. If the outcome is negative for XRP, the status quo will be maintained, and the SEC's enforcement agenda might further accelerate. Deaton's tweet followed as a reply to Scott Melker ("Wolf of all streets" on Twitter), who wrote that Americans need to fight back against the SEC — otherwise they will be left with only BTC, ETH, LTC and BCH to trade on exchanges run solely by Wall Street.
