The documents include internal SEC emails and a draft of a 2018 speech where Hinman <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitboy-crypto-alleges-former-sec-director-took-bribes-to-label-eth-a-commodity\/\">declared<\/a> that Bitcoin and Ethereum were not securities.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the documents will remain confidential, but Alderoty's tweet suggested that the documents made the firm's defense more robust and its victory almost certain.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding this development, Ripple's CEO Brad Garlinghouse described the SEC's actions as shameful. Garlinghouse <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bgarlinghouse\/status\/1583231464195338241?s=20&t=Rob4HwpY7XzAvp_g-dc6pg\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The SEC wants you to think that it cares about disclosure, transparency and clarity.

To butress this point, the firm <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EleanorTerrett\/status\/1583245795616169985?s=20\"><span class=\"s4\">presented signed affidavits<\/span><\/a> from XRP users who said they did not expect profits from Ripple's efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple added that even if its users had expected profit, the mere expectation of profit is insufficient to create an investment contract. The firm also stated that the SEC could not prove that the sales of XRP happened under U.S. laws.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The U.S. securities laws do not apply extraterritorially. Thus, the SEC has the burden to prove the domesticity of each and every offer to sell and sale of XRP.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, a lawyer Jeremy Hogan <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/attorneyjeremy1\/status\/1583272534254178304?s=20\"><span class=\"s4\">expressed<\/span><\/a> surprise that &#8220;Ripple is not arguing the Fair Notice Defense but is arguing that the Fair Notice Defense is an issue of fact which should go to a jury trial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Ripple price drops<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the positive news aiding Ripple's case against the SEC, the value of XRP tanked by roughly 4% within the last 24 hours to $0.44.<\/p>\n<p>According to a community member, the fact that Ripple's latest effort did not positively influence XRP's value &#8220;is <span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">evidence to the contrary of the SEC argument.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">One of the biggest events of the last 18 months for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a> with the production of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Hinman?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Hinman<\/a> emails, yet the price still doesn&#39;t move.<\/p>\n<p>More evidence to the contrary of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SECGov?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SECGov<\/a> argument that the price is influenced by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ripple?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Ripple<\/a> efforts.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Liam | Coinpresso (@LiamCryptoSEO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiamCryptoSEO\/status\/1583251371976929280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. SEC has submitted documents of former Director William Hinman to Ripple (XRP), according to an Oct. 20 tweet from Ripple General Counsel Stuart Alderoty.
