@LauraLoomer@ZohranKMamdani My Mother isn’t around to thank you, @LauraLoomer but I’ll thank you for her. I appreciate your work and your constant push for the TRUTH.
this flash crash is so bullish.
and gordon gekko knew exactly why.
$19 billion in liquidations.
after tradfi markets closed for the weekend.
imagine.
you’ve got $1m in stocks.
but you can’t touch them until monday.
meanwhile your crypto positions are getting liquidated in real time.
you’re solvent without a doubt.
but you’re not liquid.
when it matters most.
and all you can do is watch as your generational wealth get wiped out.
now imagine if your stocks were onchain.
and adding them as collateral was as simple as pushing a button.
this crash proves why we need to bring everything onto the blockchain.
gordon gekko was right:
money never sleeps.
but i’d add one thing:
TRADFI money DOES sleep.
CRYPTO money NEVER does.
that’s the difference.
gekko would approve.
I’ll hold a spaces on X this evening to discuss. The Complaint will be posted on @CryptoLawUS. Law firms who file securities class action lawsuits were going to file once they learned the facts. Now that I’ve filed, if there is any settlement of any kind I can fight for IT ALL to go to the people who deserve it and NOT lawyers.
What if aid could be faster, smarter, and more transparent?

Cryptocurrency trial of the century is over: justice prevails in @SECGov v. @Ripple. Victory for #Crypto innovators. It would have not been possible without #XRPArmy and amazing lawyers. There is still work to build policy foundation and regulatory framework. Congrats everyone on an amazing outcome. Power to the people and rule of law.

Today marks the end of a long and grueling journey, the SEC vs. Ripple case is finally over.
For years, the XRP ARMY has stood tall, fighting through uncertainty, relentless FUD, biased media narratives, market manipulation, and endless legal delays. We endured being labeled as holders of an “unregistered security,” watched exchanges delist XRP, saw investors lose faith, and felt the weight of countless setbacks.
But through it all, we never backed down.
We owe immense gratitude to those who carried the torch and kept our community united, informed, and inspired:
⚔️Brad Garlinghouse, for boldly defending Ripple and the XRP ecosystem with relentless clarity and confidence.
⚔️Chris Larsen, for his foundational vision and unwavering commitment to fairness and innovation.
⚔️David Schwartz, whose steady leadership and technical brilliance reminded us daily why we chose XRP.
⚔️Stuart Alderoty, for his exceptional legal strategy, clear communication, and tireless dedication in the courtroom trenches.
⚔️Monica Long, for her impactful role in advocating and building Ripple’s global reputation.
⚔️John Deaton, who fought passionately on behalf of XRP holders, empowering thousands who would have otherwise remained voiceless.
⚔️Jeremy Hogan and James K. Filan, whose invaluable legal analyses provided clarity, hope, and transparency throughout the case.
⚔️Eleanor Terrett, whose unbiased reporting and integrity ensured accurate, timely information when mainstream media failed.
⚔️Judge Analisa Torres, whose integrity, fairness, and thoughtful consideration upheld the very principles of justice and due process.
And so many more...
Above all, our deepest respect goes to each and every member of the XRP ARMY, this community’s resilience, unwavering belief, and unstoppable spirit carried us through the darkest moments. When others counted us out, we doubled down and stood our ground. This victory belongs to YOU. Your unity, passion and commitment turned into a powerful force that could not, and will not, be ignored.
Our time has truly come! No more appeals. No more roadblocks. No more uncertainty. XRP is battle-tested, unshackled, and standing tall. And now? Now the institutions that hesitated are coming. The money that waited is about to flood in. The future we held through the storm is finally here.
Today we celebrate justice. Today we celebrate community. Today we celebrate XRP.
Onward together, stronger than ever... ⚔️ XRP ARMY FOREVER ⚔️
the sec is dropping its case against @Ripple.
this is big news.
as an attorney.
and one of the youngest people ever to pass the new york bar.
here's why i think it's so important:
remember what the case was all about: $xrp being a security.
district judge torres ruled that:
- ripple selling xrp on exchanges: NOT securities
- ripple execs selling xrp: NOT securities
- ripple giving xrp to developers/charities/employees: NOT securities
so.
where does this leave us?
first of all, it shows that the new administration is delivering on its promises.
i've posted about this many times since the election.
but legal certainty is absolutely key.
and we're now seeing the results of this.
second of all, it means institutions can come back.
they won't go anywhere near assets and companies with massive legal problems.
but precisely those legal issues are now starting to melt away.
and last but not least.
builders and developers.
these are the lifeblood of the xrp ledger.
as ripple says, they can now 'build with confidence'.
with 1 billion xrp committed towards developers.
they now have the financial firepower.
but also clarity.
to build the future.
so in summary.
i've said it before.
but i'll say it again.
we're at the start of new era in blockchain and crypto as a whole.
and today's announcement is proof of that.
what a time to be alive.
UPDATE: *two* SEC sources believe @Ripple case is very close to ending. Some expected outcomes:
• “expect $XRP to get serious commodity consideration.”
• “greatly reduced fine; GREATLY reduced”
• “new leadership knows this case and how they handle it is a big deal; precedent.”
