Ripple Labs和SEC達成了一項暫定協議，可以結束訴訟

Ripple Labs和美國證券交易委員會已經達成了一項暫定協議，該協議可以正式結束加密貨幣最引人注目的法律鬥爭之一。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Ripple Labs have reached a tentative agreement that could finally close one of crypto's most public legal battles.

美國證券交易委員會和Ripple Labs達成了一項暫定協議，該協議最終可以結束加密貨幣最公共的法律鬥爭之一。

As part of the deal, the SEC will keep just $50 million to settle its case with Ripple and return $75 million of the $125 million fine the firm paid last year, the regulator said Wednesday. The agency’s commissioners and a federal judge must still approve the settlement.

該公司週三表示，作為交易的一部分，SEC將僅保留5000萬美元與Ripple解決案件，並將該公司去年支付的1.25億美元罰款中的7500萬美元返回。該機構的專員和聯邦法官仍必須批准和解。

The move comes shortly after the SEC dropped its planned appeal of a 2023 ruling by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres.

此舉是在美國證券交易委員會（SEC）放棄了美國地方法院法官Analisa Torres一項裁決的計劃上訴之後不久。

In that decision, Torres found that some of Ripple’s sales of XRP to retail investors through exchanges did not breach securities laws, in a partial win for the firm. But she ruled that some institutional sales did cross the line, leading to the $125 million penalty.

在這一決定中，托雷斯發現，Ripple通過交易所銷售XRP在散戶投資者中的某些銷售並沒有違反證券法，這是該公司的部分勝利。但是她裁定一些機構銷售確實越過了界限，導致了1.25億美元的罰款。

The SEC had originally been seeking nearly $2 billion from Ripple in civil penalties, disgorgement and interest. But the court landed on a much lower figure for the case, which will now see Ripple gain a refund of 60% of that sum.

SEC最初是從Ripple中尋求近20億美元的民事處罰，訴訟和利息。但是，法院的案件降低了較低的數字，現在，波紋退還了60％的款項。

In response, Ripple has agreed to withdraw its own planned appeal of aspects of Judge Torres’s ruling, and the SEC will ask the court to lift a standard injunction that restricted Ripple’s operations.

作為回應，Ripple已同意撤回對托雷斯法官裁決方面的計劃上訴，而SEC將要求法院解除限制Ripple行動的標準禁令。

XRP rose about 1.5% after the announcement, hitting $2.47 before pulling back. It remains up slightly over the past 24 hours, contrasting with broader market trends.

宣布後，XRP上漲了約1.5％，在退縮之前達到了2.47美元。在過去的24小時內，它保持略有幅度，與更廣泛的市場趨勢形成鮮明對比。

The legal battle started in December 2020 when the SEC sued Ripple for allegedly defrauding investors by selling unregistered securities in the form of XRP. The agency also claimed that Ripple’s executives misled investors about the company’s financial condition.

法律鬥爭始於2020年12月，當時SEC涉嫌以XRP的形式出售未註冊的證券來起訴Ripple欺騙投資者。該機構還聲稱，Ripple的高管誤導了投資者有關公司的財務狀況。

The case had major implications for the crypto industry, as it focused on the crucial question of which crypto tokens should be classified as securities.

該案對加密貨幣行業具有重大影響，因為它重點介紹了應將加密代幣歸類為證券的關鍵問題。

The SEC’s actions were significantly scaled up under former Chair Gary Gensler, but the regulator has pulled back on cases good in Acting Chair Mark Uyeda’s tenure.

美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的行動在前主席加里·貢斯勒（Gary Gensler）的帶領下大大擴展了，但監管機構已退縮，以表演主席馬克·烏耶達（Mark Uyeda）的任期。

Since January, the SEC dropped multiple lawsuits against Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), Consensys, Kraken and other crypto firms, sparking speculation that political donations may have influenced the agency’s stance.

自1月以來，SEC提起了針對Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN），CONSENSYS，KRAKEN和其他加密公司的多項訴訟，引發了人們的猜測，即政治捐款可能影響了該機構的立場。
