Judge Analisa Torres’s ruling in the SEC v. Ripple case has highlighted the significant influence of XRP holders, according to attorney John E. Deaton. He cites Judge Torres citing his amicus brief, affidavits from XRP holders, and a previous oral argument in the LBRY case as evidence of this impact. Deaton emphasizes that these specific references demonstrate the direct involvement of the community, arguing that without them, the judge’s decision could have been significantly different. The article also notes Ripple’s legal team acknowledged the broader efforts supporting their position and details how XRP holders rallied for Ripple’s case through various public campaigns and the filing of over 2,000 exhibits.
