Ripple和SEC達成了“原理協議”，以暫停其XRP訴訟上訴

經過四年多的訴訟，SEC和Ripple現在已共同要求法院持有其上訴和交叉上訴

A new motion submitted on April 10 to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reveals that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple have reached an “agreement-in-principle” for a negotiated resolution of the lawsuit.

4月10日提交給第二巡迴上訴法院的一項新動議顯示，證券交易委員會（SEC）和Ripple已達成“原則上的協議”，以談判訴訟的解決方案。

The April 10 motion, which is available on the court’s website, showcases a surprising turn of events. Following a July 2023 ruling by Judge Analisa Torres, which partially favored Ripple by determining that its institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws while its programmatic sales on public exchanges did not, the SEC and Ripple have jointly moved to request a pause in their appeal and cross-appeal.

4月10日在法院網站上獲得的動議展示了令人驚訝的事件。在2023年7月的Analisa Torres裁決之後，該裁決部分贊成Ripple，確定其XRP的機構銷售違反了證券法，而公共交易所的程序化銷售卻沒有，SEC和Ripple共同提出暫停其上訴和交叉競爭。

This request, which was granted by the court, will halt all legal activity for a period of 60 days, according to the filing, in order “to conserve judicial and party resources while the parties continue to pursue a negotiated resolution.”

根據備案，該請求是由法院批准的，將在60天內停止所有法律活動，以“為了保護司法和黨的資源，而當事各方繼續繼續進行談判的解決方案”。

The motion also cancels the previously scheduled April 16 deadline for Ripple to respond to the SEC’s appeal brief, as defense lawyer James Filan confirmed in an X post. "The settlement is awaiting Commission approval. No brief will be filed on April 16," Filan stated.

正如辯護律師詹姆斯·菲蘭（James Filan）在X職位上證實，該動議還取消了預定的4月16日截止日期，以回應SEC的上訴摘要。菲蘭說：“解決方案正在等待委員會的批准。4月16日不會提交摘要。”

The SEC and Ripple are now seeking the approval of the commission’s commissioners for the settlement, which reportedly includes a reduced civil penalty of around $50 million, significantly less than the initial $125 million proposed by the SEC.

SEC和Ripple現在正在尋求該委員會委員的批准，據報導，該委員會的民事罰款減少了約5000萬美元，大大低於SEC提議的最初1.25億美元。

The case, which began in December 2020 with the SEC's accusation that Ripple sold XRP as an unregistered security, has since evolved into a broader debate about the classification of cryptocurrencies in the U.S., with Ripple defending XRP as a digital asset, not a security.

此案始於2020年12月，當時SEC指控Ripple以未註冊的安全性出售了XRP，此後已經演變為有關美國加密貨幣分類的更廣泛的辯論，而Ripple捍衛XRP作為數字資產，而不是安全性。

The case has also been closely followed by the crypto community, with many hopeful for a swift resolution that could provide much-needed regulatory clarity for the industry.

該案也緊隨其後的是加密貨幣社區，許多人希望迅速解決，這可以為該行業提供急需的監管清晰度。

The April 10 motion marks a turning point in a long-running legal battle that has captivated the crypto world.

4月10日的動議標誌著一場長期進行的法律鬥爭中的轉折點，吸引了加密貨幣世界。

If approved by the SEC commissioners, the settlement could close the Ripple lawsuit and establish key precedents for U.S. crypto regulation.

如果經SEC專員批准，和解可以關閉連鎖訴訟，並為美國加密貨幣法規建立關鍵先例。
