Ripple Labs和Securities and Exchange Commission（SEC）已共同要求上訴法院暫停上訴

法院批准了一項聯合SEC - 核心動議，以暫時暫停上訴，暫時暫停該案60天。

An appellate court has granted a joint request from Ripple Labs and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to pause an appeal in a 2020 SEC case against Ripple amid settlement negotiations.

上訴法院已批准了Ripple Labs和Securities and Exchange Commission（SEC）的聯合請求，以在2020秒針對和解談判的2020 SEC案件中暫停上訴。

The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit approved a joint SEC-Ripple motion to hold the appeal in abeyance — temporarily pausing the case — for 60 days, according to an April 16 filing. As part of the order, the SEC is expected to file a status report by June 15.

根據4月16日的提交文件，美國第二巡迴法院的上訴法院批准了一項聯合的SEC - 雷 - - 核心動議，以暫時暫停上訴，暫時暫停該案60天。作為訂單的一部分，預計SEC將在6月15日之前提交狀態報告。

The SEC’s case against Ripple and its executives, filed in December 2020, was expected to begin winding down after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced on March 19 that the commission would be dropping its appeal against the blockchain firm. A federal court found Ripple liable for $125 million in an August ruling, resulting in both the SEC and blockchain firm filing an appeal and cross-appeal, respectively.

在Ripple首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse於3月19日宣布，該委員會將在2020年12月宣布，該委員會將在3月19日宣布將對對區塊鏈公司的上訴下達上訴。聯邦法院在八月份的裁決中發現，波紋的責任責任1.25億美元，導致SEC和區塊鏈公司分別提出上訴和交叉訴訟。

However, once US President Donald Trump took office and leadership of the SEC moved from former chair Gary Gensler to acting chair Mark Uyeda, the commission began dropping multiple enforcement cases against crypto firms in a seeming political shift. Ripple pledged $5 million in XRP to Trump’s inauguration fund, and Garlinghouse and chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty attended events supporting the US president.

但是，一旦美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）就職，而SEC的領導層則從前主席加里·加斯勒（Gary Gensler）轉移到代理主席馬克·烏耶達（Mark Uyeda）後，委員會開始在看似政治上放棄針對加密貨幣公司的多個執法案件。 Ripple承諾為特朗普就職基金提供500萬美元的XRP，Garlinghouse和首席法律官Stuart Alderoty參加了支持美國總統的活動。

Despite support for the end of the case coming from both Ripple and the SEC, the August 2024 judgment and appellate cases leave some legal entanglements. Alderoty said in March that Ripple would drop its cross-appeal with the SEC and receive a roughly $75 million refund from the lower court judgment. It’s unclear what else may result from negotiations over a settlement in appellate court.

儘管支持來自Ripple和SEC的案件的結局，但2024年8月的判決和上訴案件留下了一些法律糾纏。奧爾德羅蒂（Alderoty）在三月份表示，Ripple將與SEC的交叉表現，並從下級法院判決中獲得約7500萬美元的退款。目前尚不清楚在上訴法院就解決方案進行談判可能會導致什麼。

SEC的新領導

Acting chair Uyeda is expected to step down following the US Senate confirming Paul Atkins as SEC chair on April 9.

預計代理主席烏耶達（Uyeda）將於4月9日美國參議院確認保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）為SEC主席後辭職。

During his confirmation hearings, lawmakers questioned Atkins about his ties to crypto, which could create conflicts of interest in his role regulating the industry. In financial disclosures, stated he had millions of dollars in assets through stakes in crypto firms, including Securitize, Pontoro and Patomak.

在確認聽證會上，立法者向阿特金斯詢問了他與加密貨幣的關係，這可能會在他的行業中造成利益衝突。在財務披露中，他說，他通過加密公司（包括證券化，龐托羅和帕特馬克）的股份擁有數百萬美元的資產。
