Pro XRP Attorney says XRP lawsuit caused 3-year XRP adoption damage

John Deaton explained how the US regulatory body SEC ruined the adoption rate of XRP over the last 3 years. 

John Deaton is the founder of Crypto Law, a crypto-dedicated law firm. Deaton is a popular supporter of the XRP coin. Since the beginning of the XRP lawsuit, Deaton shared all hidden details & also motivated the XRP community to show indirect support for Ripple against the SEC’s charges. 

On 22 Aug 2023, the CryptoLaw founder said that Coinbase exchange was supporting USDC stablecoin & XRP coin as the best cross-border payment method.

According to Deaton, Coinbase was supporting XRP coin on behalf of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) utility.

You could NEVER underestimate the damage the SEC’s lawsuit has caused – NOT ONLY AGAINST RIPPLE – BUT #XRP. THREE YEARS OF ADOPTION – that’s what it’s caused.

Just how long is 3 yrs – in crypto years?

People seem to forget how much Coinbase promoted #XRP before the lawsuit.… https://t.co/1fZ3r8WCSd pic.twitter.com/GLu4kFUU38

Furthermore, Deaton explained that Coinbase exchange started to promote XRP coin into the cross-border payment business, without any involvement of Ripple firm, for this they listed XRP coin but before that, they analyzed the nature of XRP coin to make sure that XRP was not security, to comply with the rules & regulations.

To know the status of the XRP coin, the Coinbase team held a meeting with SEC officials to discuss the XRP coin.

In fact, in January 2019 Coinbase asked for and got a meeting with the @SECGov to SPECIFICALLY DISCUSS THE REGULATORY STATUS OF #XRP!

Coinbase explained to the SEC that Coinbase had evaluated #XRP and ran it through Coinbase’s stringent regulatory framework for digital assets.

Through all these facts, Deaton tried to explain why the SEC body failed to object to the nature of the XRP coin or why they failed to immediately object when the exchange listed this crypto token.

Furthermore, Deaton also noted that MoneyGram also jumped into the cross-border payment business with the XRP coin use, alongside the existing fiat global payment services. 

In Dec 2020, the US SEC sued Ripple Labs over controlling the XRP coin trade price & running a cross-border business with a crypto token, which was unregistered security under the purview of the SEC’s analysis.

After the suit, Coinbase & MoneyGram distanced their business operations from XRP coin. In the meantime, the SEC’s suit acted as the main factor to keep the XRP coin adoption away from the real use cases.
