The approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs is a significant moment for the crypto industry. It further legitimizes crypto as an asset class and is expected to encourage institutional investment and adoption. This could shift the industry's focus from speculation to real-world use cases.

@bgarlinghouse - Brad Garlinghouse

The significance of this moment cannot be overstated. Congrats to all who have worked to get Bitcoin spot ETFs approved! Today’s news is further legitimization of crypto as an asset class. I expect this will be yet another catalyst for institutional investment / adoption, ideally leading the industry to focus outside primarily speculative to broader real-world use cases, underpinning that legitimization.

In a significant victory, Chris and I were vindicated as the SEC's attempt to ruin us and our company failed. Despite no claims of fraud, the SEC targeted us relentlessly. They neglected their duty to protect US consumers and businesses, wasting taxpayer money. Grateful for the support of exceptional lawyers like @s_alderoty, Deborah McCrimmon, and Matt Solomon from @ClearyGottlieb. Thank you for your leadership and friendship.

@bgarlinghouse - Brad Garlinghouse

Today was an even better day. Ripple: 3 SEC: 0 In all seriousness, Chris and I (in a case involving no claims of fraud or misrepresentations) were targeted by the SEC in a ruthless attempt to personally ruin us and the company so many have worked hard to build for over a decade. The SEC repeatedly kept its eye off the ball while secretly meeting with the likes of SBF – failing again and again to protect US consumers & businesses. How many millions of taxpayer $ were wasted?! Feels good to finally be vindicated.

@bgarlinghouse - Brad Garlinghouse

It goes without saying, but I truly work with the best lawyers in the business – including but not limited to @s_alderoty & Deborah McCrimmon from Ripple, and @ClearyGottlieb’s Matt Solomon. A heartfelt THANK YOU for your leadership, wisdom and friendship.

The SEC’s request to file an interlocutory appeal is DENIED. I’m not a lawyer but it seems the Court just told the SEC: You asked me to apply the “Howey” test, I did, and like it or not, you lost.

The appeal request doesn't change the fact that XRP is not a security. The SEC claims we acted recklessly, but the judge's ruling puts the burden of proof on them. We aim to prove them wrong.

@bgarlinghouse - Brad Garlinghouse

Reminder - the request for appeal (even if granted) doesn’t change the fact that XRP is not a security. That’s not up for debate / trial. But the SEC continues to claim that Chris and I acted recklessly in believing that XRP is not a security. That’s utter nonsense. 1/2

@bgarlinghouse - Brad Garlinghouse

The Judge’s July 13 ruling said that the SEC would be put to their proofs at trial regarding their claim against Chris and me. We look forward to proving the SEC wrong as a matter of fact and law (again). 2/2 https://t.co/qvS34XZbVJ

@s_alderoty - Stuart Alderoty

Welcome to O̵f̵f̵i̵c̵e̵ After Hours with me! Let’s clear up this confusion about securities, investment contracts and digital assets.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Digital assets, such as orange groves, whiskey barrels, pay phones, and beavers, may not be securities on their own. However, when combined into an investment contract, they can be considered securities. A share of stock is always a security because it holds Apple accountable for fulfilling fiduciary duties. An investment contract, unlike a traditional share of stock, involves selling promises to increase the value of an investment. For example, selling orange groves alone is not an investment contract, but selling them with a promise to cultivate and distribute profits is. Digital tokens, on their own, are not digital asset securities but can be used as virtual currency or traded as commodities. The Securities and Exchange Commission's jurisdiction only covers securities, not other assets. Claiming jurisdiction where it doesn't exist is a political power play that benefits no one.

Speaker 0: What do digital assets have to do with orange groves, barrels filled with whiskey, pay phones, who remembers those? And beavers? Well, it turns out a lot. None of those things, standing alone, are securities, but Any one of them can be packaged into a contract for an investment that may be a security. Let me break this down a bit. The law lists a bunch of things that are securities. That list includes things you ordinarily think of, like a share of stock. Why is the share of stock always a security? If you own a share of stock in, let's say, Apple, Apple owes you a fiduciary duty. And you can hold Apple accountable if they don't fulfill those obligations. That's true no matter how you bought the stock or who sold it to you. But the law also includes something called an investment contract in the list of things considered a security. An investment contract is not like a traditional share of stock. And anyone who tells you that, Well, let's just say they're trying to confuse you. Investment contracts are contracts that I sell to you with the promise that I'm going to take the money you gave me and do things to increase the value of your investment. I can take a bunch of orange groves and sell those to you. That's not an investment contract. Or I can sell you some of those orange groves as Part of a larger set of promises to cultivate those groves, sell the oranges and distribute the profits back to you. That's an investment contract. So orange groves alone, whether I sell them to you or you buy them on an exchange, no investment contract. The very same orange grows coupled with a promise that I sell directly to you, that I am going to work to make those orange grows profitable. That entire bundle of promises is an investment contract and therefore, a security. But the orange groves alone are still just orange grows. Some would like you to think that a digital token can in and of itself be a Digital asset security, it can't. Standing alone, it's just a commodity or a virtual currency. As a virtual currency, you may use it for a payment. As a commodity, you may trade it like gold or oil or pork bellies. Confused? Well, I don't blame you because some have been doing their best to confuse you for years. Because the Securities and Exchange Commission only has jurisdiction over securities, not orange groves, And they don't like that. Like a hammer, they want everything to be a nail. But the law doesn't work that way. While retail holders of crypto certainly deserve protection from bad actors, not all roads lead to the SEC. Pretending to have jurisdiction when there is none is simply a political power play. It helps no one. It hurts everyone. Remember, a token by itself, not an investment contract despite what the SEC would have you believe.

The SEC's lack of internal coherence and faithful application of the law has been exposed by the release of the Hinman documents. While demanding transparency from those they regulate, they fight against the same standards. Gensler refuses to comment on specific projects and incorrectly labels tokens as securities, while claiming the rules are clear. The agency is trying to frontrun Congress.

Trying something new – some thoughts from me on the events (specifically the release of the Hinman documents) of this week. For me, this has all had a personal bent to it - and felt like it warranted some personal comments.

Speaker 0: Hi. I'm Brad Garlinghouse. As many of you know, I don't often make videos like this. But then again, not every week has been like this one. A few days ago, after 2 years, 7 court orders and over $100,000,000 in legal bills, The Hinman speech documents, including internal SEC emails and comments leading up to this now infamous 2018 speech, They've finally been unsealed. Hinman's speech created new factors to determine if a token becomes sufficiently decentralized to no longer be considered a security. At best, these documents show that Senior officials at the SEC couldn't agree on the law and told Bill Hinman directly he would confuse the public even more about the rules for crypto. At worst, they show that Hinman deliberately ignored the law, and he tried to create new laws, something only Congress can do. And while he was a public servant, Hinman received 1,000,000 of dollars of payments from his law firm, which was part of an alliance with others that had a vested interest and this speech. This speech isn't about any 1 token or any 1 blockchain. This is about showing the extent to which the SEC has relentlessly pursued enforcement actions against crypto players while professing fake open arms and calls to Come in and register, all the while lying about their so called guidance. As some of you may know, Ripple spent years proactively engaging with the SEC. I personally met with Jay Clayton and Bill Hinman with no lawyer present. Why would I need a lawyer if we were all coming together in good faith? We answered every question they had, and not once did they suggest to me that XRP was a security. We were fully transparent, not knowing they would then use this information against us. The SEC hit us with a surprise Wells notice, saying they were considering suing us for breaking securities laws and still refuse to provide specifics. To those that have recently been hit with their own Wells notices and lawsuits, This likely sounds all too familiar. When the lawsuit did drop against us days before Christmas, a very Grinch like touch, They made it personal. They sued Chris Larsen, and they sued myself, alleging we should have known all along that XRP was a security. You can now see, plain as day, they couldn't even agree amongst themselves. And to me, it still seems like they can't. What we saw play out in our case is exactly what's still happening. The SEC is looking to Kill crypto innovation in the United States and its current chair, an unelected bureaucrat, I might add, is weaponizing the lack of regulatory clarity to exert jurisdiction over the entire crypto space. This is the definition of putting politics over people. It's the pursuit of power over sound policy. The SEC tried to bully us into acquiescing. Thankfully, we have had the resources to fight back. And now we can all see what they've fought so hard to hide. They knowingly created confusion about the rules, and they used that confusion to regulate through enforcement. That's bad faith, plain and simple. Ultimately, as our lawsuit comes to a close, for so many others, it's just starting. The fight for clarity has to continue. I just wanna conclude by saying to my colleagues here at Ripple, to my family, my friends, Everyone who has supported us over the past two and a half years, and certainly to the whole of the XRP army, a very heartfelt And a very genuine thank you for that support.

@bgarlinghouse - Brad Garlinghouse

What’s most important is that it’s truly the first time the SEC was forced to be transparent about their lack of internal coherence or faithful application of the law, acknowledging they may not have the jurisdiction to fill the “regulatory gap” over crypto at all.

@bgarlinghouse - Brad Garlinghouse

They have preached (and demanded) transparency from those they regulate, but fight tooth and nail when held to the same standards.

@bgarlinghouse - Brad Garlinghouse

And now Gensler point blank refuses to comment on specific projects (besides BTC) but indirectly and incorrectly labels tokens as securities in lawsuits, and in the next breath, says how “clear the rules are” while his agency tries to front-run Congress.
