Ripple Case Summary Judgement This Week?
Although it is highly unpredictable as to when Judge Torres would pronounce the Summary Judgement in the Ripple Vs SEC case, attorney John Deaton, who represents the 76,000 XRP token holders, is wondering if there is such a possibility. He suggested that this week could see unprecedented boost for the crypto market if the judgement is delivered.
“Bitcoin over 30K today. ETH’s Shanghai update tomorrow. A great and fantastic ruling from Judge Torres in the Ripple case next could prove to be Crypto’s biggest week ever.”
Amid heightened regulatory scrutiny from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in recent times, the Ripple case judgement could prove to be highly volatile event for the market. Also, the judgement would put to rest the debate over altcoins are securities or not.
