Is Ripple XRP vs SEC Dead ?
XRP holders achieve victory over the SEC. The US district court Judge Analisa Torres has given Attorney John Deaton (representative of Xrp Community) permission to file a motion to intervene in the ongoing SEC Vs Ripple Labs case.
The judgment directed for the motion to intervene to be filed by 19 April, followed by the opposition, and response papers to be filed by 3 May.
Deaton had taken to Twitter, to express his remorse regarding the counterargument in the pre-motion letter written by SEC to the court.
He had claimed that the SEC “is clearly trying to make me look bad by claiming that my motivation I’m seeking to intervene is for profit-taking.”
This is welcome news for Deaton and many XRP supporters but it is a major setback for the SEC as they had expressed opposing views earlier.
