XRP Lawyer Honored
The International Congress of Blockchain Legal Advisors has announced that Deaton was the receiver of inauguaral Defender of Freedom Award. The award is to celebrate individuals and entities that have gone above and beyond in their quest to uphold freedom in the crypto community, the organization said in a statement. It explained further,
“Deaton’s visionary strategy enabled digital asset owners to intercede against SEC enforcement actions, a pioneering approach that served as a protective shield against the SEC’s overreaching tactics.”
The recognition comes in the context of the recent victory in the XRP lawsuit with the Summary Judgment, wherein the retail buyers’ position has been safeguarded in the ruling by US Judge Analisa Torres. The ruling meant that the long running legal battle between the SEC and Ripple Labs paved way for a push for clear regulatory framework in the United States.

Recently, a team of company executives led by Ripple chief executive officer Brad Garlinghouse visited Washington D.C. to meet US Congress members to discuss the proposed crypto bills.
