This is after the unsealing of three different documents set by the judge. However, John Deaton, the cryptocurrency lawyer representing more than 64,000 XRP holders, put forth some possibilities to calm the situation. First, he explained that SEC is likely to make two potential moves.
From the new evidence, there’s an inclusion of the email thread and deposition notice of Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO. Also, the evidence contains the line of Chris Larsen, a Ripple executive.
According to Deaton’s suggestion, substantially proving the link between Ripple’s public announcements and XRP price would be a near impossibility. Moreover, he mentioned that the SEC would have to confirm the sale of XRP tokens by Garlinghouse and Larsen in the U.S.
Furthermore, the lawyer was contemplating if SEC could lay claim of Ripple creating a secondary market for XRP. This could be their alternative approach once they fail to establish that the two Ripple executives are selling XRP in the U.S.
Deaton is yet to access the unsealed document despite his having the amicus counsel status in the case.
