Blockchain giant Ripple recently partnered with the Web3 financial platform Uphold. Uphold has committed to providing Ripple with “enhanced crypto liquidity capabilities” to supercharge its cross-border payment infrastructure, promising a transformative impact. 

This partnership comes at a crucial juncture in Ripple’s journey, with Uphold’s support poised to usher in a new era of innovation and efficiency in cross-border payments. The news has reverberated across the cryptocurrency and blockchain community, and it has not gone unnoticed by pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton.

Deaton, known for his unwavering support of Ripple and XRP, expressed his admiration for Ripple’s achievements over the last three years. Even in the face of an extended bear market and the looming shadow of an SEC enforcement action, Ripple has shown resilience and growth. Deaton said that Ripple not only expanded its business tenfold, but it did so while operating under the specter of regulatory challenges within the United States, one of the most significant global markets.

He said, “I feel bad for LBRY, but I’m relieved to see that Ripple will not only survive but likely be one of the top FinTech companies in the world. Even the most ardent Ripple hater has to be impressed. When Ripple IPOs within the next three years, Garlinghouse will have to be on the shortlist for CEO of the decade.”

As many other companies were forced to lay off during difficult times, Ripple bucked the trend by actively hiring and expanding its operations. Deaton, however, lamented the unfair treatment of Ripple at the hands of a select group of biased and conflicted individuals. 

The lawyer added, “While other companies were laying people off, Ripple was hiring. They accomplished all this while being unfairly targeted by a few biased, conflicted, and compromised individuals. From the beginning, I said Ripple initially sold XRP as an investment contract, but it was clear that XRP sold today is not a security.”
