Pro-Ripple lawyer John Deaton highlighted how the ongoing legal battle between the crypto-payment company and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had affected the firm\u2019s business.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Deaton, while many XRP enthusiasts point to its growth outside the U.S., there is a need for adoption on the homefront. <\/p>\n Since Ripple\u2019s legal struggles began, the firm has expanded its business outside the U.S., recently acquiring Swiss-based digital asset custody provider Metaco.<\/p>\n Despite these moves, traditional financial institutions have been cautious with their interactions with Ripple\u2019s services. Brazilian bank Rendimento said it wouldn\u2019t use XRP because of its regulatory issues. However, the bank said it would use other Ripple services that do not involve XRP.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the pro-Ripple lawyer had previously said Coinbase or Ripple would not list XRP until they get more regulatory clarity within the U.S.<\/p>\n Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently predicted that the Court would issue its verdict within \u201cweeks,\u201d prompting speculations that the legal battle was ending.<\/p>\n Since the litigation began, the crypto payment firm has scored several wins, including a recent Court judgment compelling the SEC to release the infamous Hinman\u2019s speech and related documents. <\/p>\n In 2018, the former SEC official expressed an opinion on classifying certain cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, which XRP fans interpreted as a free pass for the rival asset.<\/p>\n Recently, Deaton uncovered internal emails from the SEC that suggested the regulator knew that XRP did not fully meet the definition of a\u00a0security.<\/p>\n Ripple whales remain bullish on XRP, acquiring 52 million units of the digital asset valued at $22.9 million in the past three weeks. <\/p>\n The large-scale acquisition suggests the whales are betting on XRP\u2019s price increasing as the case between Ripple and the SEC nears its end.<\/p>\nRipple Continues to Expand <\/h2>\n
