In cryptocurrencies many of the people who are influencers have words that move masses, but, you just have to see how Elon Musk can manipulate the market with ease, in this case there is an effect for XRP, according to this article Jay Clayton became the protagonist:
RIPPLEXRP effect? Did Jay Clayton really just echo Ripple’s talking points?“Cryptos, like nearly any new innovative technology, can be used for good or bad purposes. The problem is that US companies seeking to be compliant and use this tech for good are left in limbo (or for Ripple, worse!) because of a lack of a clear, predictable framework.”
Ripple already has Mary Jo-White, Clayton’s predecessor as SEC Chair, in its corner. Right now, it would seem that Clayton himself might be siding with the defendants’ talking points too. What does this mean though? Well, probably nothing much.
