TL;DR\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Judge Torres cited XRP holder affidavits, the amicus brief, and Deaton\u2019s oral argument in the final decision.<\/span>

Deaton Cites XRP Holder Input in Court Ruling<\/h2>\n

Attorney John E. Deaton has pointed to direct involvement from XRP holders as a factor in the SEC vs Ripple case. In a recent post, he stated,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo credible person can argue that the XRP Army didn\u2019t make a difference in the Ripple case.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He referred to Judge Analisa Torres\u2019s decision, which cited his amicus brief, XRP holder affidavits, and a prior oral argument in the LBRY case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deaton noted that while over 2,000 exhibits were submitted, the judge only referenced a small number, some of which included materials from XRP holders. He said that without these citations, the role of the community could have been debated, but added, \u201cThe proof is in the decision itself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

No credible person can argue that the XRP Army didn\u2019t make a difference in the Ripple case. If they do they\u2019re either ignorant to the facts and truth or intentionally lying. We have conclusive evidence that we made a difference. There were over 2K exhibits filed in the case. In\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/WK2MfOb6wS<\/a><\/p>\n

Ripple Legal Team Acknowledges Community Efforts<\/h2>\n

Ripple\u2019s Deputy General Counsel, Deborah McCrimmon, acknowledged the coordination behind the scenes, saying the case was influenced by a broad effort that included the XRP community. Deaton had <\/span>mobilized<\/span><\/a> more than 75,000 XRP holders to submit statements and affidavits in support of Ripple\u2019s legal position.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside legal efforts, the XRP community maintained public focus on the case, organizing campaigns and petitions aimed at regulators. The long-running lawsuit saw its <\/span>conclusion<\/span><\/a> move closer after both sides agreed to a $50 million settlement, with final approval recently confirmed by the Second Circuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, <\/span>XRP\u2019s price <\/span><\/a>traded at $2.85, with a 3% gain in the last 24 hours and a 5% drop over the past week. Some in the community have raised concerns about slow growth in on-chain activity and total value locked (TVL). One user wrote,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOK but now we need the big guns to lift the price up apparently.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, projects like Doppler and Flare <\/span>aim<\/span><\/a> to increase XRP\u2019s real-world use. The focus now shifts to whether utility follows legal clarity.<\/span><\/p>\n
