Pro-XRP lawyer Fred Rispoli urged Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to include XRP into X payments after the latest court verdict.
Following Ripple’s recent legal victory over the SEC, attorney Fred Rispoli has publicly encouraged Elon Musk to incorporate XRP into X Payments.
On August 8, Rispoli posted on X, urging Musk to “announce XRP will be part of the X Payments platform.”
Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling in the Ripple vs SEC case has significantly favored the blockchain payments company.
Fred Rispoli Urges Elon Musk For XRP Integration
In a post on X, Fred Rispoli stated, “Elon Musk, You have a golden opportunity right now to legally say eff you to SEC after its loss today to Ripple.” He emphasized adding Ripple’s native cryptocurrency to the X payments system, saying, “Run it through X legal, I bet Adam would agree with me.”
These comments have attracted considerable attention within the industry following the SEC’s recent loss in the Ripple case.
Judge Analisa Torres rejected the proposed $2 billion penalty and instead imposed a $125 million fine on the blockchain payments firm.
Additionally, the ruling on the motion for remedies revealed no disgorgements for Ripple.
Rispoli noted in another post on X, “Current sales of XRP post-Complaint do not necessarily violate federal law,” but added, “That battle is for another day (meaning a new lawsuit).”
The recent ruling has significantly benefited Ripple, with its native token gaining nearly 18% today.
Should Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, heed Rispoli’s suggestion, the market sentiment for XRP could see a further boost.
However, Musk has yet to respond to the post.
Ripple’s Native Crypto Soars
At press time, XRP’s price surged 18.37% over the past day, reaching $0.6064.
The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $0.4942 and $0.6408, respectively.
This upward movement coincides with the favorable outcome of the lawsuit for Ripple.
However, the court has allowed 60 days for the parties to appeal the ruling.
Crypto market participants are eagerly waiting for the SEC’s response.
Coinglass data showed a 47.40% increase in the coin’s futures open interest, along with a 474.34% rise in derivatives volume.
Combined with today’s price surge, this data suggests a bullish trend for Ripple’s cryptocurrency.
