儘管 Ripple 要求推遲，SEC 仍將於 1 月 16 日提交開庭簡報

這場法律戰始於 2020 年 12 月，當時 SEC 指控 Ripple 將 XRP 作為未註冊的證券提供。

Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have reached an agreement to file a deferred appendix for their ongoing cross-appeals. This appendix will include a collection of documents and evidence deemed relevant to the case. Both parties have stipulated that the deferred appendix will be filed 21 days after Ripple submits its opposition brief. This agreement is part of the broader legal proceedings between the two parties, which have been ongoing since 2020.

Ripple Labs 和美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 已達成協議，為其正在進行的交叉上訴提交延期附錄。本附錄將包括一系列被認為與案件相關的文件和證據。雙方均規定，延期的附錄將在 Ripple 提交反對意見陳述後 21 天提交。該協議是雙方自 2020 年以來一直在進行的更廣泛法律程序的一部分。

As part of its appeal, the SEC is obligated to file its opening brief on Monday, January 16. Previously, Ripple had petitioned the SEC to postpone this deadline, but the request was ultimately denied. Following this decision, Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, criticized the SEC's move, calling it a "waste of everyone's time and taxpayer money." Despite this setback, Alderoty expressed confidence in Ripple's legal standing and optimism that the court will affirm their prior victory.

作為上訴的一部分，SEC 有義務在 1 月 16 日星期一提交開庭簡報。在做出這項決定後，Ripple 的首席法律官 Stuart Alderoty 批評了 SEC 的舉動，稱其「浪費每個人的時間和納稅人的錢」。儘管遭遇挫折，Alderoty 對 Ripple 的法律地位充滿信心，並對法院將確認他們先前的勝利表示樂觀。

To briefly recap the legal battle, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020, alleging that the company had sold XRP as an unregistered security. In 2023, the court ruled in favor of Ripple, holding that XRP sales to retail investors did not constitute a security offering. However, the SEC has since appealed this decision, which is currently being reviewed by the court.

簡而言之，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 於 2020 年 12 月對 Ripple 提起訴訟，指控該公司將 XRP 作為未註冊的證券出售。 2023 年，法院做出了有利於 Ripple 的裁決，認為向散戶投資者出售 XRP 並不構成證券發行。然而，美國證券交易委員會已對此決定提出上訴，目前法院正在審查該決定。

In other news, SEC Chair Gary Gensler is set to step down on January 20, with Paul Atkins set to succeed him. Ripple hopes that this leadership change will present an opportunity to resolve the lawsuit. Alderoty has expressed optimism about working with the new leadership to reach a resolution. Additionally, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has criticized Gensler's approach, calling his enforcement-first strategy a "failure."

在其他消息方面，SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 將於 1 月 20 日辭職，保羅·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins) 將接替他。 Ripple 希望此次領導層變動能夠提供解決訴訟的機會。阿德羅蒂對與新領導層合作達成解決方案表示樂觀。此外，Ripple 執行長 Brad Garlinghouse 批評了 Gensler 的做法，並表示他的強制執行優先策略是「失敗」。

Meanwhile, XRP's price has surged significantly amid these developments. It rose from $2.52 to $2.84 overnight, marking a 12.64% increase within 24 hours. Over the past week, XRP has experienced a 22.9% gain. Its trading volume also jumped 19.01% to $11.98 billion, indicating a surge in investor interest. Notably, legal expert James Farrell has stated that only the court clerk can adjust filing deadlines in extraordinary circumstances. Hence, the SEC must adhere to the January 16 deadline as the clerk has not granted any extensions. Farrell estimates that the appeals process could conclude by April 2025, with settlement discussions potentially following.

與此同時，XRP 的價格在這些發展中大幅上漲。一夕之間從2.52美元漲至2.84美元，24小時內上漲12.64%。過去一周，XRP 上漲了 22.9%。其交易量也激增 19.01% 至 119.8 億美元，顯示投資者興趣激增。值得注意的是，法律專家詹姆斯法雷爾表示，只有法院書記官可以在特殊情況下調整提交截止日期。因此，SEC 必須遵守 1 月 16 日的最後期限，因為書記尚未批准任何延期。法雷爾估計，上訴程序可能會在 2025 年 4 月結束，隨後可能會進行和解討論。
