Ripple XRP rises 7% after judge denies SEC’s motion to seal Hinman documents

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) attempt to seal records of internal documents connected to William Hinman’s speech has been denied, according to a May 16 court filing.

The motion was denied by Judge Analisa Torres, who ruled that “the Hinman Speech Documents are not protected by the deliberative process privilege because they do not relate to an agency position, decision, or policy.”
