The SEC v Ripple lawsuit, initiated under Jay Clayton's leadership of the SEC, unexpectedly served as a catalyst for clearer cryptocurrency regulations in the U.S. This legal action united the cryptocurrency community, rallying them around the cause with the aid of figures like Deaton. It also restrained potential unchecked actions by Gary Gensler, the incoming SEC Chair, who might have otherwise targeted smaller, vulnerable crypto firms without such a prominent case setting precedents.
This lawsuit coincided with the early stages of FTX, raising questions about the political maneuvers that may have propelled it to global prominence. While figures like Bill Hinman, Clayton, and Gensler were perceived as anti-crypto, the lawsuit ironically brought clarity and global awareness to the issue, especially with XRP being declared a non-security. The situation also highlighted the inconsistent responses of political figures like Maxine Waters towards crypto initiatives like the Token Taxonomy Act. Reflecting on the lawsuit and Clayton's departure from the SEC, one wonders about his intentions and the long-term impacts of this pivotal moment in crypto regulation history.

The U.S. Supreme Court says that Ripple's sales must've been "in the U.S." or at least on a U.S. exchange. How is the SEC's expert going to get around that? https://t.co/k3WJYui2YK pic.twitter.com/71yLHqDHVJ

As I said on @CryptoLawUS, Ripple will not come close to paying $770M. Want to know how arrogant and broken the SEC is? The SEC seeks disgorgement related to #XRP sales in the U.K., Japan, Switzerland, etc.

Imagine we GLORIFIED builders of new technology instead of villifying and persecuting them.
Imagine we SUPPORTED and put the strength of our government behind the new financial system.
Imagine THAT.

Throw a big KISS at @cz_binance and Binance for their win last year in the Anderson v. Binance case which really restricted the reach of U.S. securities laws outside of the U.S..
The case helps Ripple out a lot.
