The SEC has not lost a Section 5 case in decades, according to Hoffman, who has extensive experience working with the agency. Hoffman also noted that there is not much of a difference between XRP and LBRY Credits (LBC) tokens. network for the sharing of peer-to-peer material The SEC lost its case against LBRY in November when a judge determined that the startup had sold LBC tokens as unregistered securities.

Furthermore, Bill Hinman, the former director of the SEC’s division of corporation finance, notified the Ripple leadership in 2019 that their XRP distributions were considered to be unlawful. Hoffman acknowledges that the SEC’s treatment of Hinman’s controversial Ethereum speech from 2018 was “a fiasco,” but he is certain that it has nothing to do with the current situation.
