Why does the SEC think XRP is a security?
I'm somewhat puzzled by the SEC's classification of XRP as a security. Could you elaborate on their reasoning? I understand that the SEC has a specific definition for what constitutes a security, but how does XRP fit into that definition? I'm particularly interested in how the SEC distinguishes XRP from other cryptocurrencies that are not classified as securities. Additionally, what are the potential implications of this classification for the crypto industry and investors? Thank you for your time and expertise.

Why is the SEC going after XRP?
I'm somewhat puzzled about the SEC's pursuit of XRP. As a crypto asset, XRP has been around for years and has a large community of supporters. It's used by financial institutions for cross-border payments and other financial services. So, what exactly has prompted the SEC to take action against it? Is there something specific about XRP that violates securities laws, or is this a broader crackdown on crypto assets? I'd appreciate it if you could provide some clarity on this matter.
