RIPPLE VS SEC: JOHN DEATON BRINGS SEC M--------T TO LIGHT – XRP NEWS
▪️Pro-crypto attorney John Deaton has slammed the US SEC over the Ripple lawsuit.
▪️Deaton demanded damages for the XRP community and called for mass layoffs.
Pro-crypto attorney John Deaton has shed more light on the recently concluded case between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs Inc. According to the latest development, Deaton has a-----d SEC lawyers of intentional m--------t.
John Deaton Accuses SEC of M--------t
In a recent YouTube interview, Deaton said the SEC exhibited serious m--------t by claiming that XRP is a security. This take comes as the US SEC recently apologized for the confusion caused by using the term “crypto asset securities.”
However, Deaton says the Ripple vs SEC case wasted money, capital, and energy. He said XRP immediately lost $15 billion, and people were liquidated when the markets regulator initiated the lawsuit.
“You shouldn’t be liquidated because of government overreach because the government and these unelected bureaucrats are doing what they are doing,” says Deaton.
According to him, Ripple spent over $100 million on defense. Deaton stated that he and XRP community members demanded that the SEC remove the “XRP is a security” language to resolve the case. He claims the SEC refused and even attacked him.

As a result, he said the SEC’s apology cannot be accepted and claims the lawsuit was intentional m--------t by its lawyers.
“People should be fired, they should lose their jobs if they were in the decision-making process,” Deaton stated.
He added that Ripple and the XRP community deserve compensation for the extensive litigation and expense over the SEC m--------t. Before the interview, Deaton wrote in an X post that the SEC’s crypto overreach has cost retail investors $15 billion. Deaton’s comments resonated with many XRP investors, even beyond the community, fueling ongoing discussions.
Is an Appeal Imminent?
His comments come as discussion grows over whether the SEC will appeal the Ripple decision. As mentioned in our earlier post, former SEC attorneys Marc Fagel and James Farrell are confident that the SEC will file an appeal. Attorney Fred Rispoli added that the SEC is still undecided and may wait until the last minute to make an appeal announcement.
However, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty confirmed that Ripple does not intend to appeal. He said Ripple had obtained a stay order on a $125 million penalty pending further proceedings.
Meanwhile, investor caution and market volatility could continue to impact XRP negatively if the case drags on. At press time, XRP is trading at $0.5883, down by 0.71% in the past 24 hours. The 24-hour trading volume decreased by 15.5% to $938 million, indicating reduced investor interest.
Despite current challenges, analysts predict a positive breakthrough for XRP as Ripple prepares for the Ripple Swell 2024 event. Another development that could push XRP higher is Ripple’s participation in Project Agora. As CNF noted earlier, this project, led by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), will help boost Ripple’s global influence.

SEC CHAIR GARY GENSLER ADDRESSES CONGRESS ON CRYPTOCURRENCY REGULATION
▪️Gary Gensler will testify before Congress regarding SEC’s cryptocurrency policies.
▪️His leadership faces scrutiny from both parties amid upcoming e-------s.
▪️The SEC’s stance on crypto continues to draw significant criticism.
On Thursday at 18:40, Gary Gensler, the Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will testify before Congress. The cryptocurrency market is focused on Gensler’s upcoming statements and his aggressive stance on altcoins, as the SEC faces increasing scrutiny.
Gensler to Speak Before Committees
On September 24 and 25, Gensler will appear before the Financial Services Committee and the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. His leadership has been under intense review from both partisan and political perspectives, making his statements highly anticipated. Republican committee members have criticized the SEC’s negative stance on cryptocurrencies for years, which has highlighted the D-------s’ anti-crypto position.
As the upcoming presidential e-------s approach, it is expected that lawmakers will press Gensler on cryptocurrency regulations and the handling of fraud cases such as FTX and Terra. Meanwhile, Coinbase‘s legal counsel received significant backlash for criticizing the SEC’s claims about “crypto asset securities.”
Gensler’s Supporters Decline
Ron Hammond, Director of Government Relations at the Blockchain Association, states that Gensler will face tough questions from both parties. Hammond noted that this session will differ from previous ones.
“Gensler has fewer allies this time; many are dissatisfied with the agency’s recent crypto approach.” – Ron Hammond
This marks the first time Gensler will testify alongside other SEC Commissioners, adding to the significance of the sessions.
While D--------c leaders are expected to defend their policies, Republicans may question the agency’s direction, potentially aiding their e-------l efforts by appealing to cryptocurrency investors.
Under Gensler’s leadership, the SEC continues to face heavy criticism from the crypto community and lawmakers. Recent examples include sharp critiques from House Majority Leader Tom Emmer and Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry regarding the SEC’s classification of crypto airdrops as securities.

The timing of Gensler’s testimony adds fuel to the debate, as he has faced frequent criticism from courts and Congress over the SEC’s aggressive enforcement tactics. Additionally, former President Donald Trump has stated that he would remove Gensler if he wins the upcoming e-------s.
Gensler’s testimony in Congress could hold critical importance for cryptocurrency regulations and the SEC’s future policies. Market participants and investors are closely monitoring the outcomes of these sessions.
