As such, it highlights the crucial role that the lawsuit plays in shaping the future of cryptocurrency and its investors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParadoxically, the SEC may be correct about investors relying on Ripple\u2019s efforts but not because of Ripple\u2019s business efforts or sales of XRP, but its legal efforts defeating the SEC\u2019s lawsuit should it be successful,\u201d said Bill.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan\u2019s statement emphasizes that investors relying on Ripple\u2019s influence to bolster the value of XRP have little to do with the efforts that the judge in the historic Howey case had in mind.<\/p>\n<h3>Expert\u2019s opinion regarding the legal battle<\/h3>\n<p>The Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s lawsuit against Ripple has prompted many supporters of the XRP token to comment on the third and fourth prongs of the Howey Test.<\/p>\n<p>This legal framework determines whether an asset qualifies as an investment contract, and the SEC has invoked it to argue that XRP should be considered an unregistered security.<\/p>\n<p>As the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC continues, pro-XRP lawyers like Bill Morgan, John Deaton, and Jeremy Hogan have raised doubts about the SEC\u2019s argument.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, these lawyers have questioned the agency\u2019s reliance on the Howey Test to argue that XRP is an investment contract.<\/p>\n<p>John Deaton has suggested that Judge Torres may view Ripple\u2019s action as an offering. Deaton expressed his skepticism about Ripple\u2019s counter-argument that there was no underlying contract to qualify the move as an investment contract.<\/p>\n<p>According to Deaton, this argument may pass in the Second Circuit and Supreme Court, but Judge Torres may not be persuaded by it.<\/p>\n<h2>Deaton forecasts verdict date for Ripple vs. SEC legal battle<\/h2>\n<p>As the crypto community eagerly awaits the summary judgment in the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit, John Deaton also provided insight into the potential ruling date.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with Thinking Crypto, Deaton, representing thousands of XRP holders in the lawsuit, predicts that Judge Torres will deliver her ruling on or before May 6.<\/p>\n<p>Deaton bases his prediction on Judge Torres\u2019 ruling timeline in past cases, noting that she typically delivers summary judgments within two months of deciding on Daubert motions. XRP holders and the wider crypto community will watch closely for Judge Torres\u2019 decision as the case progresses.<\/p>\n<p>Deaton added that the summary judgment for the Ripple v. SEC case might be handed down at any time and that the ruling could be delayed until June 1 or later.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\r\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"totafreearti-20\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\r\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\r\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\r\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"bitcoin\";\r\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";\r\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"false\";\r\namzn_assoc_title = \"\";\r\namzn_assoc_rows =\"1\";\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/legal-community-excepts-xrp-verdict-by-may-6-lawyer-admits-sec-has-one-valid-claim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Morgan supports this claim of the SEC against Ripple Per Morgan, the regulator\u2019s claim acknowledges investors may be banking on Ripple\u2019s legal endeavors to reap gains rather than the company\u2019s business efforts.
