Deaton’s involvement in the LBRY case demonstrates his dedication to fighting for the rights of crypto token holders and his continued efforts to explore legal avenues that may have implications for the XRP lawsuit.
Potential Connections and Ramifications
The LBRY lawsuit, which resulted in a ruling stating that LBRY violated securities laws, initially raised questions about its potential impact on the XRP case. However, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres delivered a summary judgment in favor of Ripple in July 2023, deeming the XRP token sale to retail buyers as not constituting securities.
Despite this ruling, Deaton’s appearance in the LBRY case renews speculation about potential connections and implications that may arise from overlapping legal arguments, precedents, or regulatory interpretations between the LBRY and XRP lawsuits.
