Also, the pro-XRP lawyer John E Deaton who has been actively involved in the case defending thousands of XRP holders shared the same opinion.

Deaton responded to the post, saying, One of many. Make no mistake: every exchange in the United States should relist XRP IN SOLIDARITY with today's decision.
He also mentioned Gemini exchange, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken, etc., implying they should relist XRP.Meanwhile, the giveaway indicated in Garlinghouse's post is unconfirmed for now, as some users complain they're getting an error message.
Also, Ripple CLO has clarified the ruling stating the only thing the Court found constitutes an investment contract is past direct XRP sales to institutional clients. There will be further court proceedings only on these institutional sales per the Court's order.
