經過四年多的法律鬥爭，Ripple Labs將正式關閉與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的訴訟。

After more than four years of legal battles, Ripple Labs is officially closing the chapter on its lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

經過四年多的法律鬥爭，Ripple Labs將正式關閉與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的訴訟。

In what may be the final update on the case, Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty announced that the company will drop its cross-appeal and secure a $75 million refund from a prior judgment.

在此案的最終更新中，Ripple首席法律官Stuart Alderoty宣布，該公司將放棄其交叉交易，並從先前的判決中獲得7500萬美元的退款。

Despite the positive development, XRP’s price had yet to jump in the daily chart. At the time of this publication, the price had little change in the daily chart at $2.45, despite an 8% rise in the weekly chart.

儘管有積極的發展，XRP的價格尚未在每日圖表中躍升。在本出版物時，儘管每週圖表上漲了8％，但每日圖表的價格幾乎沒有變化為2.45美元。

Ripple and SEC Drop Appeals, Finalizing Settlement

Ripple和SEC Drop上訴，最終確定

Ripple’s legal team confirmed that the firm will withdraw its cross-appeal against the SEC in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The August 2024 ruling from the Southern District of New York, which found Ripple liable for $125 million, will stand.

Ripple的法律團隊確認，該公司將在美國第二巡迴上訴法院對SEC的交叉訴訟。 2024年8月，紐約南部地區的裁決將為1.25億美元承擔責任。

However, instead of paying the full amount, the SEC will retain only $50 million in escrow, while Ripple will receive a refund of the remaining balance. The agency will also request the court lift a previously imposed injunction, finally.

但是，SEC不用全額支付全額，而是僅保留5000萬美元的託管，而Ripple將獲得剩餘餘額的退款。該機構最終還將要求法院解除先前強加的禁令。

"All parties’ agreements are subject to the finalization of documentation, approval by the relevant courts, and an official vote by the SEC Commissioners."

“所有當事方的協議都必須遵守文件，相關法院的批准以及SEC專員的正式投票。”

Alderoty added that all agreements are subject to final documentation, court approval, and an official vote by the SEC commissioners. The move follows last week’s announcement from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse that the SEC had decided to drop its appeal over the judgment, signaling a mutual resolution between both parties.

Alderoty補充說，所有協議均受SEC專員的最終文件，法院批准和正式投票的約束。此舉是在上週Ripple首席執行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）上周宣布的消息之後，SEC決定對判決進行上訴，這表明雙方之間的相互解決方案。

The SEC lawsuit against Ripple, first filed in December 2020, was one of the longest-running enforcement actions against a major U.S. crypto firm. The agency had accused Ripple of raising $1.3 billion through the sale of its XRP token without registering it as a security.

針對Ripple的SEC訴訟於2020年12月首次提起，是針對美國主要加密貨幣公司的最長執法行動之一。該機構指責Ripple通過出售其XRP代幣籌集了13億美元，而無需將其註冊為安全。

The legal battle reportedly cost Ripple an estimated $150 million in legal fees, but it also set a major precedent for the crypto industry. Ripple emerged as one of the few crypto firms that challenged the SEC’s enforcement approach—and won on key legal questions.

據報導，這場法律鬥爭的損失損失了大約1.5億美元的法律費用，但也為加密行業樹立了主要先例。 Ripple成為挑戰SEC執法方法的少數加密公司之一，並贏得了關鍵的法律問題。

The implications of this settlement extend beyond Ripple as it underscores broader shifts in political and regulatory landscapes. With the SEC apparently settling with Ripple and withdrawing its appeal, the agency’s approach to crypto regulation seems to be evolving.

這種定居點的含義超出了波紋，因為它強調了政治和監管景觀的更大轉變。 SEC顯然與Ripple定居並撤回了上訴，該機構的加密法規方法似乎正在發展。

Moreover, the Senate Banking Committee is set to consider the nomination of former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins as the agency's next chair on March 27. Atkins, recognized for his more industry-friendly stance, is expected to be questioned about his regulatory vision and potential conflicts of interest.

此外，參議院銀行業委員會將考慮提名前SEC專員保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）作為該機構的下一位主席。阿特金斯因其行業友好型立場而被公認為他的監管願景和潛在的利益衝突。

As Ripple concludes its legal battle with the SEC, the cryptocurrency industry will be monitoring how regulatory policy develops further under new leadership.

當Ripple結束與SEC的法律鬥爭時，加密貨幣行業將監控監管政策在新領導下如何進一步發展。
