Crypto Market News: With the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple Labs taking a new turn with the public release of Hinman Speech related files, the onus is now on Judge Analisa Torres to deliver the much awaited Summary Judgement. In essence, the Hinman documents revealed that the SEC was in favor of Ethereum, compared to other crypto tokens. Hinman emphasized that digital assets offered as securities can eventually change into a non-security asset. However, he chose to name only Ethereum as not a security, while the XRP holders have been affected by the Ripple lawsuit on the same argument.
