In the current lawsuit between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), legal professionals now project that Ripple will win handily, with a pronounced 90/10 edge. A settlement of $20 million or less, according to attorney John Deaton, who has been closely following the case, would represent a significant legal victory for Ripple.
Recall that the SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs, claiming that the company’s XRP coin violated federal securities laws by being an unregistered security. John Deaton, a popular pro-XRP attorney, in his recent post on X, dismissed the claim that the SEC will emerge victorious in the latest lawsuit against XRP. Deaton also dismissed the assertion that the odds of either party winning are balanced.
Deaton expressed his confidence that Ripple is more favored, rating Ripple’s chances of winning at 90/10. Deaton’s recent responses triggered Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, who announced afterward that there had been a minor legal pushback for the United States SEC. John Deaton has expressed optimism about the situation and has filed an amicus brief in the lawsuit. According to Deaton, Ripple has a significant legal edge and has a 90% chance of winning.
Analysts Explain Ripple’s Position, SEC/Ripple To Submit Joint Schedule
Explaining the possibilities, Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, underscored the U.S. SEC’s recent legal losses. One of the lost cases reviewed was the lawsuit between the United States SEC and Govil. The case was held at the United States Court of Appeal, which ruled that the SEC cannot major disgorgement without inflicting real harm to the company’s investors.
Judge Analisa Torres gave an order on the SEC/Ripple’s case, asking for a joint appeal to propose a briefing date to address XRP’s institutional sales. This request was described as an important part of the case, with Ripple being indicted for violating the securities laws. However, SEC and Ripple are compelled to submit jointly its schedule, at the latest November 9th.
