Pro-XRP Lawyer Deaton Claims JPMorgan Is Manipulating Bitcoin, Just Like Silver
Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton accuses JPMorgan and CEO Jamie Dimon of manipulating Bitcoin's price using futures markets, similar to alleged past suppression of silver. He claims heavy shorting in paper markets is stifling Bitcoin's price action despite strong physical demand and favorable macro conditions. Deaton argues this is a coordinated effort by traditional banks to control the "Digital Gold" narrative and slow crypto adoption. The allegation follows JPMorgan's 2020 $920 million settlement for manipulative practices in precious metals futures. Meanwhile, silver recently experienced extreme volatility, dropping sharply from record highs, with rumors alleging JPMorgan's trading involvement. XRP trades at $1.43.
