His relentless pursuit of truth and vocal critique of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has earned him the prestigious Defender of Freedom Award from the International Congress of Blockchain Legal Advisors (ICBLA).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ICBLA Recognizes Deaton\u2019s Advocacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The International Congress of Blockchain Legal Advisors (ICBLA) bestowed the Defender of Freedom Award upon John Deaton, acknowledging his inspirational role in empowering digital asset owners to challenge the SEC&#8217;s enforcement actions. The award, presented on September 25, celebrates individuals and entities championing freedom within the crypto community. It is a great win for crypto as there are only few who have stood and won the battle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Deaton\u2019s constant and valid intervention in the SEC v. Ripple case, notably his cited amicus brief in a summary judgment, underscores how keen he is to prove SEC wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is a Community Win!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In his acceptance speech on the X platform, Deaton expressed gratitude on behalf of the 75,000 XRP holders who rallied alongside him. He also commended tech journalist Naomi Brockwell for her role in the LBRY case. The nature of their motion to intervene, wherein thousands of investors petitioned the Court to be included as defendants, was unseen before and commendable.<\/p>\n<p>While the judge denied the motion to intervene, she granted amici curiae status to XRP holders, enabling them to provide crucial input. This all made sense with so many XRP holder affidavits, which played an important role in reversing the judge\u2019s decisions. Out of the numerous exhibits submitted, the judge selectively cited a handful, including those from XRP holders.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Deaton Won&#8217;t Stop Fighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Deaton addressed the SEC\u2019s emphasis on the LBRY ruling, clarifying the limitations of its applicability. He also underscored the importance of Brockwell\u2019s support in successfully countering the SEC\u2019s argument.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Analisa Torres\u2019 citation of the LBRY verdict in her summary judgment decision further highlights Deaton\u2019s influence in the legal landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In related news, Deaton offered insights on the SEC\u2019s interlocutory appeal, slamming it a \u201cdesperate tactic\u201d and anticipating Judge Analisa Torres\u2019 strategic approach to bolster her case.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: Ripple Lawsuit News : XRP Lawyer Mocks SEC\u2019s Attempt to Appeal, Saying They\u2019re Running Out of Options<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/ripple-lawyer-john-deaton-dedicates-defender-of-freedom-award-to-xrp-holders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Deaton earns Defender of Freedom Award from ICBLA for his fearless advocacy in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":194337,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ripple&#039;s John Deaton Honored With &#039;Defender of Freedom&#039;
