$ XRP的野外旅程：搖滾加密貨幣的13億美元的SEC攤牌 - 接下來是什麼？

扣緊，Binance Square船員！讓我們回到2020年12月，當時$ XRP（Ripple's Golden Child）以13億美元的重磅炸彈拍打。

In December 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Ripple Labs for allegedly selling unregistered securities in the form of its cryptocurrency, XRP.

2020年12月，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）起訴Ripple Labs，據稱以其加密貨幣XRP出售未註冊的證券。

The lawsuit, which had been closely followed by the cryptocurrency community, finally came to an end on Monday, March 16, 2025, when the SEC announced it would no longer appeal a July 2023 ruling by a federal judge that largely favored Ripple.

加密貨幣社區緊隨其後的訴訟終於於2025年3月16日星期一結束，當時SEC宣布它將不再上訴2023年7月的聯邦法官裁定，該裁決在很大程度上贊成Ripple。

The SEC’s lawsuit, filed shortly after the agency began cracking down on cryptocurrency in 2020, had focused on three types of sales of XRP. The SEC argued that Ripple sold XRP to institutional investors through private placement offerings, which required registration with the SEC.

SEC的訴訟是在該機構於2020年開始打擊加密貨幣後不久提起的，該訴訟集中在XRP的三種銷售上。 SEC認為，Ripple通過私人安置產品將XRP賣給了機構投資者，這需要向SEC進行註冊。

However, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that these sales of XRP were made in accordance with federal securities law and did not need to be registered.

但是，Analisa Torres法官裁定，XRP的這些銷售是根據聯邦證券法進行的，無需註冊。

The SEC also sued Ripple for selling XRP to the public through a “running cryptocurrency exchange.” Torres ruled that these sales of XRP, which began in 2013, were not registered with the SEC, and that these sales should have been registered.

SEC還通過“運行加密貨幣交易所”向公眾起訴Ripple，以將XRP出售給公眾。托雷斯（Torres）裁定，這些XRP的這些銷售始於2013年，未在SEC註冊，這些銷售額應已註冊。

However, Torres ruled that the statute of limitations had expired for the SEC to pursue claims related to these sales of XRP. The statute of limitations is a time limit for filing a lawsuit.

但是，托雷斯（Torres）裁定，《美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的時效法規》已過期，以尋求與XRP銷售相關的索賠。法規是提起訴訟的時間限制。

The SEC also claimed that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had made false or misleading statements about XRP to investors. However, Torres ruled in favor of Ripple on this claim as well.

SEC還聲稱，Ripple首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse向投資者發表了關於XRP的虛假或誤導性陳述。但是，托雷斯也對這一主張也裁定支持Ripple。

In her ruling, Torres wrote that the SEC had failed to carry its burden of proof on this claim.

托雷斯在裁決中寫道，SEC未能對此主張承擔舉證責任。

Following Monday’s announcement that the SEC would not appeal the ruling, shares of Coinbase (NASDAQ:) and other cryptocurrency-related stocks rose sharply.

在周一宣布SEC不會對該裁決提出上訴之後，Coinbase（NASDAQ :)和其他與加密貨幣有關的股票的股票急劇上升。

After a federal judge largely ruled in favor of Ripple in July 2023, the SEC appealed part of the ruling to the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in January 2024.

在2023年7月，一名聯邦法官在很大程度上裁定支持Ripple之後，SEC於2024年1月向美國第二巡迴上訴法院上訴。

The agency had argued that the judge erred in her ruling that the statute of limitations had expired for the SEC to pursue claims related to sales of XRP to institutional investors.

該機構辯稱，法官在她的裁決中犯了錯誤，即SEC的法規已過期，以尋求與XRP向機構投資者銷售有關的索賠。

However, in March 2025, the SEC announced that it would no longer appeal the ruling.

但是，在2025年3月，SEC宣布將不再對裁決提出上訴。

The SEC also said it was closing its investigation into Trump administration-era cybersecurity adviser Thomas Bossert over allegations he lied to reporters about Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

美國證券交易委員會還表示，它正在關閉對特朗普政府時代的網絡安全顧問托馬斯·博斯特（Thomas Bossert）的調查，他對他對記者撒謊的指控涉及俄羅斯對2016年美國大選的干預。

The agency said it had reached the "logical conclusion" of its probe and would not pursue further action.

該機構表示，它已經達到了調查的“邏輯結論”，不會採取進一步的行動。

The agency’s decision comes after a judge ruled in November 2024 that the statute of limitations had expired for the SEC to file a lawsuit against Bossert.

該機構的決定是在法官於2024年11月裁定的，該法規已要求SEC對Bossert提起訴訟。

The SEC had been investigating Bossert since 2017, after he gave an interview to The New York Times in which he appeared to contradict statements made by U.S. intelligence officials about Russian interference in the election.

SEC自2017年以來一直在調查Bossert，此前他接受了《紐約時報》的採訪後，他似乎與美國情報官員對俄羅斯干預選舉的言論相矛盾。

The SEC alleged that Bossert knew the intelligence officials’ statements were true, but that he made false or misleading statements to reporters in an attempt to protect Trump.

SEC指控Bossert知道情報官員的陳述是真實的，但他向記者發表了虛假或誤導性的陳述，以保護特朗普。

However, the judge ruled that the SEC should have filed its lawsuit sooner.

但是，法官裁定SEC應該早日提起訴訟。

"The SEC had ample opportunity to bring this case within the statute of limitations," the judge said in her ruling.

法官在她的裁決中說：“ SEC有足夠的機會將這一案件納入局限性。”

The SEC said in a statement on Monday that it would continue to focus on its core mission of protecting investors and the public interest.

SEC在周一的一份聲明中說，它將繼續專注於保護投資者和公共利益的核心使命。

"We are disappointed that the court ruled against us on the statute of limitations issue," the SEC said. "But we respect the court’s decision and we will move on."

美國證券交易委員會說：“我們對法院在法規問題上裁定我們對我們感到失望。” “但是我們尊重法院的裁決，我們將繼續前進。”

The SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple was closely followed by members of the cryptocurrency community.

SEC針對Ripple的訴訟緊隨其後的是加密貨幣社區的成員。

After the judge ruled in favor of Ripple on most of the claims in the lawsuit, several cryptocurrency traders said they planned to buy XRP.

在法官對訴訟中的大多數索賠中裁定支持Ripple的裁決之後，幾位加密貨幣交易者表示，他們計劃購買XRP。

The price of XRP rose sharply following the judge’s ruling, and several cryptocurrency exchanges began listing XRP again after delisting the cryptocurrency following the SEC’s lawsuit in 2020.

法官的裁決後，XRP的價格急劇上升，幾次加密貨幣交易所在2020年SEC訴訟之後將加密貨幣推遲後，再次列出了XRP。

The cryptocurrency had been delisted by several exchanges after the SEC sued Ripple, with some exchanges also freezing the accounts of U.S. traders who held XRP.

SEC起訴Ripple之後，加密貨幣已經被多次交流所劃定，一些交流還凍結了持有XRP的美國交易者的帳戶。

Announced in December 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's lawsuit against Ripple Labs over its cryptocurrency, XRP, sent shockwaves through the crypto sphere.

2020年12月，美國證券交易委員會針對Ripple Labs的加密貨幣XRP的訴訟宣布，通過加密球體向衝擊波發出了衝擊波。

Claiming that XRP should have been registered as a security, the SEC sued Ripple for allegedly defrauding investors. The lawsuit, which also targeted CEO Brad Garlinghouse and former president Greg Kleege, spanned seven years of XRP sales from 2013 to 2020.

SEC聲稱XRP應該被註冊為安全，因此起訴Ripple涉嫌欺騙投資者。該訴訟還針對首席執行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）和前總統格雷格·克萊格（Greg Kleege），從2013年到2020年跨越了XRP銷售七年。
