Ripple Moves Closer Winning XRP Lawsuit

On Thursday, Judge Analisa Torres potentially gave out the most important verdict in the evolutionary history of the crypto market, with the declaration that XRP is not a security. As a result, the XRP price soured by as much as 30% on Thursday in a matter of minutes.

Meanwhile, the long time demand for relisting of XRP on US based exchanges like Coinbase is now back in the forefront, thanks to the clear ruling that XRP tokens don’t constitute investment contracts. The demand had recently come up again over the recent lawsuit against the US based exchange by the US SEC. However, Deaton believes Coinbase itself stands as a winner with the latest Summary Judgment from Judge Torres.

“Coinbase Only Other Winner In XRP Lawsuit”

Deaton explained that Coinbase could likely stand as the only other winner than the XRP token and Ripple, as the XRP previously sold on the platform was not a securities sale event. Hence, he suggested that it was time to relist XRP on the platform. The exchange delisted the token in early 2021 over the December 2020 lawsuit against Ripple by the US SEC. Other US based exchanges too followed Coinbase in delisting the cryptocurrency, in what was a near closing down of doors for the token in the US.

“The only other winner than the token XRP and Ripple is Coinbase! XRP sold on exchanges is NOT the sale of securities.”
