尽管 Ripple 要求推迟，SEC 仍将于 1 月 16 日提交开庭简报

这场法律战始于 2020 年 12 月，当时 SEC 指控 Ripple 将 XRP 作为未注册的证券提供。

Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have reached an agreement to file a deferred appendix for their ongoing cross-appeals. This appendix will include a collection of documents and evidence deemed relevant to the case. Both parties have stipulated that the deferred appendix will be filed 21 days after Ripple submits its opposition brief. This agreement is part of the broader legal proceedings between the two parties, which have been ongoing since 2020.

Ripple Labs 和美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 已达成协议，为其正在进行的交叉上诉提交延期附录。本附录将包括一系列被认为与案件相关的文件和证据。双方均规定，推迟的附录将在 Ripple 提交反对意见陈述后 21 天提交。该协议是双方自 2020 年以来一直在进行的更广泛法律程序的一部分。

As part of its appeal, the SEC is obligated to file its opening brief on Monday, January 16. Previously, Ripple had petitioned the SEC to postpone this deadline, but the request was ultimately denied. Following this decision, Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, criticized the SEC's move, calling it a "waste of everyone's time and taxpayer money." Despite this setback, Alderoty expressed confidence in Ripple's legal standing and optimism that the court will affirm their prior victory.

作为上诉的一部分，SEC 有义务在 1 月 16 日星期一提交开庭简报。此前，Ripple 曾向 SEC 请求推迟这一截止日期，但该请求最终被拒绝。在做出这一决定后，Ripple 的首席法律官 Stuart Alderoty 批评了 SEC 的举动，称其“浪费每个人的时间和纳税​​人的钱”。尽管遭遇挫折，Alderoty 对 Ripple 的法律地位充满信心，并对法院将确认他们之前的胜利表示乐观。

To briefly recap the legal battle, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020, alleging that the company had sold XRP as an unregistered security. In 2023, the court ruled in favor of Ripple, holding that XRP sales to retail investors did not constitute a security offering. However, the SEC has since appealed this decision, which is currently being reviewed by the court.

简而言之，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 于 2020 年 12 月对 Ripple 提起诉讼，指控该公司将 XRP 作为未注册的证券出售。 2023 年，法院做出了有利于 Ripple 的裁决，认为向散户投资者出售 XRP 并不构成证券发行。然而，美国证券交易委员会已对这一决定提出上诉，目前法院正在审查该决定。

In other news, SEC Chair Gary Gensler is set to step down on January 20, with Paul Atkins set to succeed him. Ripple hopes that this leadership change will present an opportunity to resolve the lawsuit. Alderoty has expressed optimism about working with the new leadership to reach a resolution. Additionally, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has criticized Gensler's approach, calling his enforcement-first strategy a "failure."

其他消息方面，SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 将于 1 月 20 日辞职，保罗·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins) 将接替他。 Ripple 希望此次领导层变动能够提供解决诉讼的机会。阿尔德罗蒂对与新领导层合作达成解决方案表示乐观。此外，Ripple 首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 批评了 Gensler 的做法，称他的强制执行优先策略是“失败”。

Meanwhile, XRP's price has surged significantly amid these developments. It rose from $2.52 to $2.84 overnight, marking a 12.64% increase within 24 hours. Over the past week, XRP has experienced a 22.9% gain. Its trading volume also jumped 19.01% to $11.98 billion, indicating a surge in investor interest. Notably, legal expert James Farrell has stated that only the court clerk can adjust filing deadlines in extraordinary circumstances. Hence, the SEC must adhere to the January 16 deadline as the clerk has not granted any extensions. Farrell estimates that the appeals process could conclude by April 2025, with settlement discussions potentially following.

与此同时，XRP 的价格在这些发展中大幅上涨。一夜之间从2.52美元上涨至2.84美元，24小时内上涨12.64%。过去一周，XRP 上涨了 22.9%。其交易量也猛增 19.01% 至 119.8 亿美元，表明投资者兴趣激增。值得注意的是，法律专家詹姆斯·法雷尔表示，只有法院书记员可以在特殊情况下调整提交截止日期。因此，SEC 必须遵守 1 月 16 日的最后期限，因为书记员尚未批准任何延期。法雷尔估计，上诉程序可能会在 2025 年 4 月结束，随后可能会进行和解讨论。
