Ripple 譴責 SEC「過度」處罰要求，並提議罰款 1000 萬美元

Ripple Labs 對 SEC 的處罰提議提出質疑，拒絕支付 10 億美元的要求。 Ripple 辯稱，SEC 尚未證明未來的違規行為，並提議最高處以 1000 萬美元的罰款，強調其合規努力，並反對基於推測的未來違規行為而頒布禁令。

Ripple Rebuts SEC's Punitive Demands, Proposes Modest $10 Million Penalty

Ripple 反駁 SEC 的懲罰性要求，提議適度罰款 1000 萬美元

San Francisco, CA - In a defiant response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) excessive penalty request, Ripple Labs has vehemently contested the proposed sanctions in its ongoing lawsuit. The blockchain payment provider decried the SEC's demand for over $1 billion in penalties, asserting that such an onerous sum is both unwarranted and unprecedented.

加州舊金山—作為對美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 過度處罰要求的挑釁回應，Ripple Labs 在其正在進行的訴訟中強烈反對擬議的製裁措施。這家區塊鏈支付提供商譴責 SEC 要求超過 10 億美元的罰款，聲稱如此巨額的金額既沒有根據，也是史無前例的。

In a comprehensive court filing, Ripple meticulously outlined its rationale for opposing the SEC's exorbitant demands. The company asserted that the SEC has failed to provide compelling evidence to support its allegations of future violations or reckless disregard for the law. Furthermore, Ripple cited the precedent set in the Govil case, arguing that disgorgement should be prohibited due to the SEC's inability to demonstrate pecuniary harm.

在一份全面的法庭文件中，Ripple 細緻地概述了其反對 SEC 過高要求的理由。該公司聲稱，美國證券交易委員會未能提供令人信服的證據來支持其對未來違規或魯莽無視法律的指控。此外，Ripple 引用了 Govil 案中的先例，認為由於 SEC 無法證明金錢損害，因此應禁止返還非法所得。

Ripple's defense further challenged the SEC's proposed civil penalty, asserting that a maximum penalty of $10 million is more appropriate given the weak legal basis of the agency's case and the relatively modest fines imposed in similar digital asset cases.

Ripple 的辯護進一步對 SEC 提出的民事處罰提出質疑，聲稱鑑於該機構案件的法律基礎薄弱，並且在類似的數位資產案件中處以相對較低的罰款，最高 1000 萬美元的處罰更為合適。

"The SEC's excessive penalty demand is a clear example of regulatory overreach," stated Ripple General Counsel Stuart Alderoty. "The company has taken significant steps to rectify any past issues and is committed to compliance. The SEC's pursuit of an exorbitant penalty is unwarranted and out of step with the facts of the case."

Ripple 總法律顧問 Stuart Alderoty 表示：“美國證券交易委員會的過度處罰要求是監管越權的明顯例子。” “該公司已採取重大措施糾正過去的任何問題，並致力於遵守規定。美國證券交易委員會尋求過高的處罰是沒有根據的，也不符合案件的事實。”

Despite the SEC's allegations, Ripple has proactively implemented transformative changes to its XRP sales practices. The company has obtained licenses for XRP sales outside the United States and revised its contracts to address potential concerns.

儘管有 SEC 的指控，Ripple 仍積極對其 XRP 銷售實踐實施變革。該公司已獲得在美國境外銷售 XRP 的許可，並修改了合約以解決潛在的問題。

"Ripple has been a pioneer in the digital asset space, and we remain committed to providing a secure and compliant platform for our customers," said Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO. "We will vigorously defend ourselves against the SEC's baseless claims and continue to work diligently to build a thriving digital economy."

Ripple 執行長 Brad Garlinghouse 表示：“Ripple 一直是數位資產領域的先驅，我們仍然致力於為客戶提供安全且合規的平台。” “我們將針對美國證券交易委員會毫無根據的指控，積極為自己辯護，並繼續努力建立繁榮的數位經濟。”

Ripple's response to the SEC's punitive demands underscores the company's unwavering determination to defend its interests and promote innovation in the blockchain industry. The case is closely watched by the broader cryptocurrency community, as it has the potential to shape the regulatory landscape for digital assets.

Ripple對SEC懲罰性要求的回應凸顯了該公司捍衛自身利益和促進區塊鏈產業創新的堅定決心。此案受到更廣泛的加密貨幣社群的密切關注，因為它有可能塑造數位資產的監管格局。

The SEC is expected to submit its reply brief under seal by May 6th. All involved parties, including third parties, have until May 20th to submit letter motions and opposition related to the sealing of specific details in the filings. The outcome of the case remains uncertain, but Ripple's spirited defense has injected new momentum into the protracted legal battle.

預計 SEC 將於 5 月 6 日之前提交密封的答覆摘要。所有相關方，包括第三方，必須在 5 月 20 日之前提交與密封文件中具體細節相關的信函動議和反對意見。該案的結果尚不明朗，但Ripple的積極辯護為曠日持久的法律戰注入了新的動力。
