Based on Deaton, the SEC’s determination to file a lawsuit towards Ripple and its executives for violation of securities regulation has affected the worth of XRP, thereby inflicting monetary injury to the asset’s buyers.
In his opinion, the affect of the SEC lawsuit on XRP is sufficient to trigger motion towards the fee.
“If the SEC actually believes XRP is an unregistered safety, why are they permitting the sale of the token throughout an ongoing lawsuit?”
