Crypto Market News: Ahead of the June 13, 2023 deadline to make public the Bill Hinman speech documents, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appears to be cautious around the former director’s role in the agency. As the United States continues to increasingly become hostile to the crypto market with the current regulatory environment, the Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit comes across as a ray of hope for not just XRP investors but the entire community. Earlier, CoinGape reported that both sides of the lawsuit, the U.S. SEC and Ripple jointly requested a one week extension on the date to file the Hinman speech documents. Hence, the new deadline for submission comes to be June 13.

US SEC Website Changes To Bill Hinman Page
In a fresh development, Bill Hinman’s webpage on the US SEC website went through massive changes. The 200 word description of Hinman’s roles prior to the SEC position had been entirely removed from the Biography page. A previous version of the same page, as seen on Internet Archive from February 2023, shows that the former SEC director’s biography description is clearly mentioned in three paragraphs. Interestingly, the official’s biography originally mentioned that the department headed by Hinman ensures that material information is provided to investors.
“The Division seeks to ensure that investors are provided with material information in order to make informed investment decisions.”
