A Washington federal judge has dismissed defamation claims against influencer Zach Rector under the state's public-expression law. The lawsuit, filed by Jake Claver related to Rector's videos about XRP, was found to contain 'no actionable false statement.'

The ruling, made on September 2 by Judge Kymberly K. Evanson, allows Rector to recover reasonable legal fees and litigation costs. This development is seen as a reduction in legal risk for crypto influencers.

Claver may amend his complaint by September 23, which could continue the dispute. The dismissal without prejudice means that Claver's lawsuit is not entirely closed but is temporarily suspended.
