A pro-XRP lawyer has highlighted more casualties and negative impacts the regulatory authority has inflicted on XRP and its investors as well as individuals and businesses associated with the cryptocurrency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So while Ripple has stated it has lost over $200 million in its fight against the US SEC, it seems that is not the only loss that has been incurred in the drawn-out battle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n John E. Deaton, a pro-XRP lawyer has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to publicly admonish the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its series of legal actions and enforcements against XRP, the native token of Ripple Labs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Deaton has been a <\/span>strong advocate for XRP <\/span><\/a>since its fight against the US SEC began in 2020, and the cryptocurrency enthusiast and lawyer has actively participated in the community, airing out his <\/span>views in defense of the cryptocurrency <\/span><\/a>and its value as a global payment asset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a recent post, Deaton <\/span>stated<\/span><\/a> that the US SEC has negatively affected thousands of XRP investors and users and these people have been protesting against the SEC\u2019s actions toward the ecosystem for three years.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe SEC harmed a lot of innocent people in the process. 75K investors, users, developers, and small businesses have been screaming the above for 3 years,\u201d Deaton stated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to a <\/span>civil filing<\/span><\/a>, the SEC has destroyed more than $15 billion worth of assets owned by innocent holders of XRP who had acquired the token on secondary marketplaces.<\/span><\/p>\n RealClearPolicy (RCPC), an American policy website, recently <\/span>published<\/span><\/a> an article titled \u201cThe SEC is not King\u201d on Thursday, September 30.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In an <\/span>X repost<\/span><\/a>, Deaton acknowledged the article which highlighted significant aspects of the Ripple and SEC legal case from when the regulatory body filed a <\/span>lawsuit<\/span><\/a> against the crypto firm earlier in 2020, alleging that Ripple was selling unregistered security offerings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ripple had aggressively <\/span>defended itself against the SEC<\/span><\/a> and achieved a partial victory after Judge Analisa Torres ruled in favor of Ripple and rejected the SEC\u2019s allegations that sales of XRP tokens on exchanges are security sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a possible attempt to salvage its reputation and also gain the upper hand against XRP, the <\/span>SEC filed an interlocutory appeal<\/span><\/a> to reevaluate the Judge\u2019s ruling and its case against the token. In light of this, Deaton published a blog post titled \u201cThe Irony of Interlocutory Appeal\u201d last week, <\/span>castigating the SEC\u2019s appeal scheme<\/span><\/a> to potentially delay the litigation.<\/span><\/p>\nSEC Allegedly Damaged 75K XRP Followers<\/h2>\n
