Ripple will win against the SEC with “zero doubt” argues John Deaton

John Deaton is a crypto proponent and the founder of CryptoLaw media outlet. Deaton has voiced his support for cross-border remittance platform Ripple on several occasions since the US SEC brought a lawsuit against the firm. 

Deaton recently shared his thoughts on the SEC’s rejection of Grayscale’s spot Bitcoin ETF, in a tweet. While shedding light on the probability of the digital asset management company’s win against the SEC in the DC circuit and the Supreme Court, Deaton said that he has “zero doubt” that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of Ripple

The founder of CryptoLaw tweeted:

And after the Supreme Court’s decision in West Virginia v. EPA, I have zero doubt that the current makeup of the US Supreme Court will rule in favor of Ripple if it goes that far. The SEC did not limit its allegations to only apply to Ripple’s sales of XRP. It went too far.

Lark Davis, a crypto proponent and educator voiced his support for Ripple in the lawsuit brought forward by the US SEC. Davis expressed his optimism for Ripple’s win in the legal battle, while taking a stand against buying XRP tokens irrespective of the case’s outcome. 

Davis has been a critic of XRPLedger’s native token and despite his support for the payment giant that is the largest public holder of the asset; the influencer has no interest in buying XRP.
