Here’s How the SEC Lawsuit is Hurting Ripple (XPR) Adoption, According to Lawyer

According to insights shared by lawyer John E. Deaton, the ongoing SEC lawsuit against Ripple has had a negative impact on the adoption of XRP.

The lawyer, following the legal proceedings, recently took to X to highlight a notable example of how the lawsuit hindered the cryptocurrency’s adoption.

• Deaton’s observation comes as a shared personal experience from when he attempted to make a payment over the Internet.

Here’s is a small yet significant example of how the lawsuit hurt #XRP’s adoption. I was just purchasing an item over the internet and the payment options include: “Pay with cryptocurrency with @BitPay.”

• He noticed that the payment options included the well-known crypto payment processor BitPay, which initially had supported XRP as one of its accepted cryptocurrencies.
• However, Deaton revealed that following the SEC lawsuit against Ripple, BitPay stopped processing XRP transactions within the United States.
• Before the lawsuit, XRP was widely recognized as a cryptocurrency for efficient cross-border payments and transactions.
• In contrast, other cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, created initially as a humorous take on the digital currency phenomenon, have taken on unexpected roles, such as being used for payments.
• Deaton’s tweet highlights the irony of the situation, where a cryptocurrency like Dogecoin, created as a meme, has found its way into payment systems. In contrast, XRP, a cryptocurrency designed specifically for payments, has faced setbacks due to regulatory challenges.
