Ripple Win Will Pump XRP

Attorney John Deaton, Amicus curiae in the XRP lawsuit stated that Judge’s ruling is coming down within the next few weeks. He added that a judgment may be announced by this week. This statement come when the Ripple and defendants filed a Letter Notice of Supplemental Authority in order to back their fair notice defense.

XRP holders’ lawyer added at this point XRP holds the most attractive risks/reward ratio. Speculating a win for the U.S. SEC, Deaton stated what would be the downside from $0.45. If the Commission bags a win then the Ripple and Defendant will appeal in court and can gain the status quo.

Meanwhile, if the court drops a ruling in Ripple’s favor then it would be out and clear that the XRP isn’t a Security which is a complete upside for the token.
