XRP Was Marked For Death By SEC?

Max Keiser, a Bitcoin maximalist stated the SEC cleaned out independent crypto exchanges and key players just to make some space for biggies like BlackRock and Wisdom Tree. He claimed that Ripple and defendants are not going to win their case against the commission as this was never about the law.

The Bitcoin supporter added that Ripple’s native crypto, XRP was marked for death and SEC Chair, Gary Gensler’s job is to take it out.

Attorney John Deaton, XRP holder’s lawyer in the SEC Vs Ripple lawsuit agreed with Keiser’s claims of the Commission protecting the incumbents. He stated that “Now we agree on something”.
