经过四年多的法律斗争，Ripple Labs将正式关闭与美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的诉讼。

After more than four years of legal battles, Ripple Labs is officially closing the chapter on its lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

经过四年多的法律斗争，Ripple Labs将正式关闭与美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的诉讼。

In what may be the final update on the case, Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty announced that the company will drop its cross-appeal and secure a $75 million refund from a prior judgment.

在此案的最终更新中，Ripple首席法律官Stuart Alderoty宣布，该公司将放弃其交叉交易，并从先前的判决中获得7500万美元的退款。

Despite the positive development, XRP’s price had yet to jump in the daily chart. At the time of this publication, the price had little change in the daily chart at $2.45, despite an 8% rise in the weekly chart.

尽管有积极的发展，XRP的价格尚未在每日图表中跃升。在本出版物时，尽管每周图表上涨了8％，但每日图表的价格几乎没有变化为2.45美元。

Ripple and SEC Drop Appeals, Finalizing Settlement

Ripple和SEC Drop上诉，最终确定

Ripple’s legal team confirmed that the firm will withdraw its cross-appeal against the SEC in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The August 2024 ruling from the Southern District of New York, which found Ripple liable for $125 million, will stand.

Ripple的法律团队确认，该公司将在美国第二巡回上诉法院对SEC的交叉诉讼。 2024年8月，纽约南部地区的裁决将为1.25亿美元承担责任。

However, instead of paying the full amount, the SEC will retain only $50 million in escrow, while Ripple will receive a refund of the remaining balance. The agency will also request the court lift a previously imposed injunction, finally.

但是，SEC不用全额支付全额，而是仅保留5000万美元的托管，而Ripple将获得剩余余额的退款。该机构最终还将要求法院解除先前强加的禁令。

"All parties’ agreements are subject to the finalization of documentation, approval by the relevant courts, and an official vote by the SEC Commissioners."

“所有当事方的协议都必须遵守文件，相关法院的批准以及SEC专员的正式投票。”

Alderoty added that all agreements are subject to final documentation, court approval, and an official vote by the SEC commissioners. The move follows last week’s announcement from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse that the SEC had decided to drop its appeal over the judgment, signaling a mutual resolution between both parties.

Alderoty补充说，所有协议均受SEC专员的最终文件，法院批准和正式投票的约束。此举是在上周Ripple首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）上周宣布的消息之后，SEC决定对判决进行上诉，这表明双方之间的相互解决方案。

The SEC lawsuit against Ripple, first filed in December 2020, was one of the longest-running enforcement actions against a major U.S. crypto firm. The agency had accused Ripple of raising $1.3 billion through the sale of its XRP token without registering it as a security.

针对Ripple的SEC诉讼于2020年12月首次提起，是针对美国主要加密货币公司的最长执法行动之一。该机构指责Ripple通过出售其XRP代币筹集了13亿美元，而无需将其注册为安全。

The legal battle reportedly cost Ripple an estimated $150 million in legal fees, but it also set a major precedent for the crypto industry. Ripple emerged as one of the few crypto firms that challenged the SEC’s enforcement approach—and won on key legal questions.

据报道，这场法律斗争的损失损失了大约1.5亿美元的法律费用，但也为加密行业树立了主要先例。 Ripple成为挑战SEC执法方法的少数加密公司之一，并赢得了关键的法律问题。

The implications of this settlement extend beyond Ripple as it underscores broader shifts in political and regulatory landscapes. With the SEC apparently settling with Ripple and withdrawing its appeal, the agency’s approach to crypto regulation seems to be evolving.

这种定居点的含义超出了波纹，因为它强调了政治和监管景观的更大转变。 SEC显然与Ripple定居并撤回了上诉，该机构的加密法规方法似乎正在发展。

Moreover, the Senate Banking Committee is set to consider the nomination of former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins as the agency's next chair on March 27. Atkins, recognized for his more industry-friendly stance, is expected to be questioned about his regulatory vision and potential conflicts of interest.

此外，参议院银行业委员会将考虑提名前SEC专员保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）作为该机构的下一位主席。阿特金斯因其行业友好型立场而被公认为他的监管愿景和潜在的利益冲突。

As Ripple concludes its legal battle with the SEC, the cryptocurrency industry will be monitoring how regulatory policy develops further under new leadership.

当Ripple结束与SEC的法律斗争时，加密货币行业将监控监管政策在新领导下如何进一步发展。
