There’s been no rest for Ripple or the XRP token this week.
Following the latest development in Ripple's court case with the SEC, XRP has plummeted 4.6% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. It's now trading at $0.50, five cents lower than when the Hinman documents were finally released yesterday.
Ripple has been in a legal battle with the SEC, since 2020, due to allegedly selling unregistered securities.
A vital element of the case is a 2018 speech by former SEC Director Bill Hinman stating that Ethereum (ETH) shouldn’t be considered a security as it was “sufficiently decentralized."
Ripple claimed that this speech caused confusion when they were sued for selling an unregistered security. The lawsuit alleges that since 2013, Ripple has raised $1.3 billion in XRP, a token that the Commission claims qualify as a security.
As part of the ongoing court battle, Ripple has sought the release of the so-called Hinman documents as part of its case, arguing that his claims may help to lift that label.
After much legal wrangling, Ripple shared the highly anticipated contents of former Securities and Exchange Commission director William Hinman’s speech. Rather than a smoking gun, observers suggest that the emails reveal little in the way of new information that can help Ripple in its lawsuit against the SEC. The Hinman emails include exchanges between Hinman and members of the SEC staff in preparation for a June 14, 2018 speech where he talked about how different digital assets might be regulat...
Ripple also filed for emails surrounding the speech to be released to clarify how the former director came to his conclusion. While it is maintained the speech reflected Hinman's personal opinions, the emails were released yesterday.
XRP jumped almost 6% immediately after the release of these emails.
However, sentiment soon changed as the chief legal officer at Ripple, Stuart Alderoty, claimed that Hinman “invented factors” and ignored multiple warnings that the speech contained “made-up analysis with no basis in law.”
Alderoty then urged that the former SEC director is investigated after the speech is removed from the website.
12/So what should happen now? First, remove the speech immediately from the SEC’s website…

Hinman allegedly ignored internal concerns surrounding his speech and created "great confusion," according to Alderoty.
Unfortunately for XRP holders, that price jump from the email release has since all been wiped out.

Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, will make his first public appearance since his release from prison earlier this year, speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas from May 27 to 29. The news, announced by Ulbricht on X on April 10, follows a presidential pardon by Donald Trump in January that saw the end of his incarceration. Trump granted Ulbricht a “full and unconditional pardon,” citing support from the Libertarian movement and calling the sentence “ridiculous.” From 2011 to 201...
Increasing tariff implementation under President Donald Trump may be influencing a near-term price decline for Bitcoin, but a Grayscale report suggests that the changing global trade dynamics could benefit the top crypto asset. The crypto asset manager’s report suggests that tariffs and their contribution towards stagflation—an economic state in which there is high or growing inflation alongside low or slowing GDP—may ultimately lead to underperformance of traditional assets. However, historica...
Ethereum developer Virgil Griffith has walked free from jail. He was serving a prison sentence after giving a presentation to a blockchain conference in North Korea. Prosecutors had alleged his speech "provided highly technical information" that could help the isolated state evade U.S. sanctions. Griffith had pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiracy in September 2021, and was sentenced to 63 months behind bars in April 2022. That term was reduced to 56 months last summer, opening the door...
