There is a lot of misinformation going around the #XRPcommunity claiming that the SEC said #XRP is not a security. This is FALSE. This statement is based on Exhibit 220 in the Hinman Doc drop. This Exhibit was written by a law firm to Grayscale regarding its XRP Investment Trust.

Here is the document everyone is citing; we can see it is Document 831-79. We can also see in today's filings (Jun 13, 2023) that in filing 831, exhibit 220 is #79, thus it is Document 831-79.

We can see this Exhibit 220 referenced in another document released today, under sections 1696 and 1698 to get the context on who it was To and From. We know it was a law firm (not the SEC) but it is unclear which firm and we can also conclude it was Grayscale that was redacted.

Besides this NOT being an SEC internal communication, opinion or analysis in any way, shape or form, it is a flawed analysis by the law firm by their own admission.

The analysis clearly states that it was done βbased on information that we have been able to obtain from public recordβ and if additional information exists their conclusion may require modification. In fact, there WAS additional information that affected their conclusion.

One of the main reasons they gave for XRP not being promoted as an investment of money, was Ripple not arranging for secondary market trading of XRP, which would suggest that it was being sold as an investment (by the law firmβs own admission). This was FALSE.

We now know from the lawsuit that in FACT, Ripple did arrange for SIX exchanges to list XRP, paying between $1-$5 million dollars in 2017. This was before the law firm wrote this opinion but they did know about this since it was not PUBLIC information. So much for transparency!!

Obviously, this alters the "reasonable grounds" conclusion of the law firm. Of course, we all know the conclusion of what Grayscale and the law firm NOW think, based on the XRP Trust, it is now a tiny footnote in their Investor Pitch Deck. Let me zoom in on that for you.
