Messari 聯合創始人 Ryan Selkis 警告 Ripple 的崩潰和醜聞將破壞華盛頓的整個加密議程

Messari 的 Ryan Selkis 再次瞄準 Ripple 和 XRP。 Selkis 最近在 X 平台上發表的一篇文章中將 Ripple 描述為對川普的威脅

Messari co-founder and XRP skeptic Ryan Selkis has doubled down on his criticism of the San Francisco-based company and its cryptocurrency XRP. Selkis recently warned that Ripple's attempts to forge ties with the incoming Donald Trump administration could spell doom for crypto.

Messari 聯合創始人兼 XRP 懷疑論者 Ryan Selkis 加大了對這家總部位於舊金山的公司及其加密貨幣 XRP 的批評。 Selkis 最近警告說，Ripple 試圖與即將上任的唐納德·川普政府建立聯繫可能會為加密貨幣帶來厄運。

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty dined with President-elect Trump earlier this month. XRP has also made headlines for its recent market strides, with Messari’s Selkis highlighting some interesting comparisons.

Ripple 執行長 Brad Garlinghouse 和首席法律長 Stuart Alderoty 本月稍早與當選總統川普共進晚餐。 XRP 也因其最近的市場進步而成為頭條新聞，Messari 的 Selkis 強調了一些有趣的比較。

According to Selkis, XRP is now bigger than Salesforce in market cap and is approaching the market capitalization of Bank of America. Furthermore, XRP is now larger than ride-hailing giant Uber, Spotify, PayPal, and MicroStrategy combined. Notably, XRP is also about 5X the size of America’s biggest crypto exchange, Coinbase.

Selkis 表示，XRP 的市值目前已超過 Salesforce，並且正在接近美國銀行的市值。此外，XRP 目前的規模比叫車巨頭 Uber、Spotify、PayPal 和 MicroStrategy 的總和還要大。值得注意的是，XRP 的規模大約是美國最大的加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 的 5 倍。

Selkis highlighted these comparisons in a recent post on the X platform, adding that “Ripple’s crash and scandals will take down the entire crypto agenda in DC.” It is worth noting that XRP currently commands a $178 billion market cap following its recent rally, while Salesforce is valued at $310 billion.

Selkis 在 X 平台最近的一篇文章中強調了這些比較，並補充說“Ripple 的崩潰和醜聞將破壞華盛頓的整個加密議程。”值得注意的是，XRP 在近期上漲後目前市值為 1,780 億美元，而 Salesforce 的估值為 3,100 億美元。

However, for Selkis and other Ripple critics, this does little to detract from the fact that Ripple's parabolic growth is a potential threat to crypto. Selkis, meanwhile, claims that Ripple will unleash doom for crypto.

然而，對於 Selkis 和其他 Ripple 批評者來說，這並沒有削弱 Ripple 的拋物線成長對加密貨幣構成潛在威脅的事實。與此同時，Selkis 聲稱 Ripple 將為加密貨幣帶來厄運。

In a follow-up post intended to explain his aversion to Ripple, he posited that the company’s executives “aren’t good people,” possibly referencing co-founder Chris Larsen and CEO Bradley Garlinghouse.

在隨後的一篇旨在解釋他對Ripple 的厭惡的帖子中，他認為該公司的高管“不是好人”，可能指的是聯合創始人克里斯·拉森(Chris Larsen) 和首席執行官布拉德利‧加林豪斯(Bradley Garlinghouse)。

“The reason I’m a dick about Ripple isn’t because I care about XRP or its memecoin rally. I’m happy for all of the retail holders who have made bank. My issue with them is that they aren’t content with just being billionaires, they lust for power,” Selkis asserted.

「我之所以喜歡 Ripple，並不是因為我關心 XRP 或其 memecoin 的反彈。我為所有賺到錢的散戶持有者感到高興。我對他們的看法是，他們不僅滿足於成為億萬富翁，他們還渴望權力，」塞爾基斯斷言。

As ZyCrypto reported previously, Ripple donated $5 million worth of XRP to Trump’s presidential inaugural fund. Reports say that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Trump could review its crypto-related cases and pause any that don’t have fraud allegations.

正如 ZyCrypto 先前報導的那樣，Ripple 向川普總統就職基金捐贈了價值 500 萬美元的 XRP。有報導稱，川普領導下的美國證券交易委員會（SEC）可能會審查其與加密貨幣相關的案件，並暫停任何沒有詐欺指控的案件。

Industry lawyers also bet that the SEC will soon abandon its crypto cases. Ripple’s chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty said on Jan. 15 that the regulator’s long-running enforcement case against the firm was “likely to be abandoned” by the incoming Trump administration after the agency filed an appeal challenging a July 2023 ruling that partially dismissed claims against the company.

行業律師也打賭美國證券交易委員會很快就會放棄其加密貨幣案件。 Ripple 首席法律官 Stuart Alderoty 於1 月15 日表示，監管機構針對該公司的長期執法案件“可能會被即將上任的特朗普政府放棄”，此前該機構對2023 年7 月的一項裁決提出上訴，該裁決部分駁回了針對該公司的索賠公司。

More interestingly, Trump is reportedly open to creating a wider national strategic reserve — prioritizing U.S.-founded cryptocurrencies like XRP. The news was enough to send XRP to a price not seen since 2018. The crypto peaked at $3.38 — just two cents from its all-time high price mark.

更有趣的是，據報道，川普願意建立更廣泛的國家戰略儲備——優先考慮 XRP 等美國創建的加密貨幣。這項消息足以將 XRP 推至 2018 年以來的最高價格。
