Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton ‘10x more into BTC, 4x more into ETH’: Hall of Flame

He’s best known as the “pro-XRP lawyer,” but John Deaton was actually “10 times more into Bitcoin and four times more into Ethereum.”

Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton ‘10x more into BTC, 4x more into ETH’: Hall of Flame

From childhood dreams of becoming a rapper to serving in the United States Marines, to now being “the pro-XRP lawyer” on Crypto Twitter, John Deaton has had an eventful life.

While his dream of becoming a rapper didn’t work out, John Deaton’s 260,000 Twitter following would make many up-and-coming rappers envious.

“That was about 10 years before Eminem came out — I didn’t have that level of school,” Deaton says of his music biz dreams.

He has become a legend among the XRP army over the past couple of years, fighting in their corner after the United States Securities and Exchange Commission sued Ripple, alleging it had issued unregistered securities.

Deaton has a strong belief that the “innocent holders” of XRP deserve a knight in shining armor standing up for them in the same way Ripple has a squad of lawyers fighting for the company.

The price of Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped 4.6% to $0.0808 under the influence of a broader crypto market correction on April 12. This downside move preceded the release of the U.S. consumer price index (CPI), which showed inflation eased to its lowest level in two years.

Dogecoin wipes out Elon Musk-led gains

Dogecoin's latest price drop appeared also after Elon Musk-owned Twitter removed the token's official mascot — the Shiba Inu meme — from its home button to reinstate its original bluebird logo.

CPI offers "great inflation print" for risk-on bulls

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC/USD as it neared new ten-month highs on Bitstamp.

Widely-predicted volatility entered immediately following the release of Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for March. This broadly conformed to expectations, with the year-on-year increase undercutting assumptions by 0.2%.

"The all items index increased 5.0 percent for the 12 months ending March; this was the smallest 12-month increase since the period ending May 2021," an accompanying press release from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed.

This was nonetheless enough to spark some optimistic upside on crypto markets ahead of the Wall Street open, with potential further upside in line with equities to come.

Analyst warns markets "discounting significance" of CPI

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD hovering near the significant psychological level after overnight lows of $29,875 on Bitstamp.

Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March are due at 2.30pm Eastern time, followed by minutes from last month’s meeting of the Federal Reserve Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), at which policymakers confirmed a 0.25% interest rate hike.

“Today is US CPI day, and for the first time in a long while, it feels like the market is discounting the significance of this event…,” analytics account Tedtalksmacro wrote in part of Twitter commentary.

“Trader positioning leading into today is nowhere near as conservative/risk-off as we typically would observe.”
