As tensions between Ripple and the SEC escalate, XRP holders have launched a social media petition to stop the SEC’s appeal, gaining widespread support from investors. Attorney Fred Rispoli discussed the possibility of suing the SEC, noting that it is possible but would be difficult. He also suggested that John Deaton, who has 75,000 supporters, could be a potential leader in such a lawsuit, despite legal challenges to proving the SEC overstepped its authority.
