XRP Army Saves the Day (Again): How Memes and Passion Beat the SEC 😎

by

TL;DR

  • Judge Torres gave a shout-out to XRP holders in her ruling-amicus brief, affidavits, and all. 📜✨
  • Ripple’s legal dream team admitted they couldn’t have done it without the crypto version of an Avengers squad. 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

So, let me break this down for you like I’m explaining TikTok to my grandma: Attorney John E. Deaton is out here *clapping back* at anyone who thinks the XRP Army didn’t flex their way into influencing the SEC vs Ripple case. 💪 In his own words:

“No credible person can argue that the XRP Army didn’t make a difference in the Ripple case.”

Translation? If you disagree with him, you’re either living under a rock or just really bad at reading. Judge Analisa Torres literally cited materials from XRP holders-including Deaton’s amicus brief and some very convincing affidavits-in her decision. Out of over 2,000 exhibits submitted, she cherry-picked the ones that screamed “community power.” Talk about making your mark on history! 🗞️🎉

Deaton added, “The proof is in the decision itself,” which feels like something your smug friend would say after acing a test you thought was impossible. But hey, he’s not wrong. Without these nods to the community, people might still be debating whether the XRP Army was more than just Twitter hype. Spoiler alert: They were.

Ripple’s Legal Team Throws Flowers at the Community 🌹

Deborah McCrimmon, Ripple’s Deputy General Counsel, came through with some much-deserved props for the unsung heroes behind the scenes. She basically said, “Yeah, we had help-and by help, I mean 75,000+ XRP holders armed with affidavits and the kind of determination usually reserved for fantasy football drafts.” 🏈🔥

And it wasn’t just about filing papers; the XRP Army kept spirits high with campaigns, petitions, and enough tweets to drown out even Elon Musk. The lawsuit drama finally wrapped up when both sides agreed to a $50 million settlement, sealed with a kiss from the Second Circuit court. 💰💍

Meanwhile, XRP traded at $2.85, because of course there’s always someone complaining about price action. One user summed it up perfectly:

“OK but now we need the big guns to lift the price up apparently.”

Ah yes, nothing says “gratitude” like demanding the universe throw you a parade after winning a years-long legal battle. 🎉💸

But wait, there’s hope! Projects like Doppler and Flare are working on giving XRP actual real-world uses beyond being everyone’s favorite courtroom drama star. Now the question is: Will utility follow legal clarity? Or will we all just keep refreshing CoinMarketCap while screaming into the void? Stay tuned… 🚀📉
