Messari 联合创始人 Ryan Selkis 警告 Ripple 的崩溃和丑闻将破坏华盛顿的整个加密议程

Messari 的 Ryan Selkis 再次瞄准 Ripple 和 XRP。 Selkis 最近在 X 平台上发表的一篇文章中将 Ripple 描述为对特朗普的威胁

Messari co-founder and XRP skeptic Ryan Selkis has doubled down on his criticism of the San Francisco-based company and its cryptocurrency XRP. Selkis recently warned that Ripple's attempts to forge ties with the incoming Donald Trump administration could spell doom for crypto.

Messari 联合创始人兼 XRP 怀疑论者 Ryan Selkis 加大了对这家总部位于旧金山的公司及其加密货币 XRP 的批评。 Selkis 最近警告说，Ripple 试图与即将上任的唐纳德·特朗普政府建立联系可能会给加密货币带来厄运。

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty dined with President-elect Trump earlier this month. XRP has also made headlines for its recent market strides, with Messari’s Selkis highlighting some interesting comparisons.

Ripple 首席执行官 Brad Garlinghouse 和首席法律官 Stuart Alderoty 本月早些时候与当选总统特朗普共进晚餐。 XRP 也因其最近的市场进步而成为头条新闻，Messari 的 Selkis 强调了一些有趣的比较。

According to Selkis, XRP is now bigger than Salesforce in market cap and is approaching the market capitalization of Bank of America. Furthermore, XRP is now larger than ride-hailing giant Uber, Spotify, PayPal, and MicroStrategy combined. Notably, XRP is also about 5X the size of America’s biggest crypto exchange, Coinbase.

Selkis 表示，XRP 的市值目前已超过 Salesforce，并且正在接近美国银行的市值。此外，XRP 目前的规模比网约车巨头 Uber、Spotify、PayPal 和 MicroStrategy 的总和还要大。值得注意的是，XRP 的规模大约是美国最大的加密货币交易所 Coinbase 的 5 倍。

Selkis highlighted these comparisons in a recent post on the X platform, adding that “Ripple’s crash and scandals will take down the entire crypto agenda in DC.” It is worth noting that XRP currently commands a $178 billion market cap following its recent rally, while Salesforce is valued at $310 billion.

Selkis 在 X 平台最近的一篇文章中强调了这些比较，并补充说“Ripple 的崩溃和丑闻将破坏华盛顿的整个加密议程。”值得注意的是，XRP 在近期上涨后目前市值为 1780 亿美元，而 Salesforce 的估值为 3100 亿美元。

However, for Selkis and other Ripple critics, this does little to detract from the fact that Ripple's parabolic growth is a potential threat to crypto. Selkis, meanwhile, claims that Ripple will unleash doom for crypto.

然而，对于 Selkis 和其他 Ripple 批评者来说，这并没有削弱 Ripple 的抛物线增长对加密货币构成潜在威胁的事实。与此同时，Selkis 声称 Ripple 将为加密货币带来厄运。

In a follow-up post intended to explain his aversion to Ripple, he posited that the company’s executives “aren’t good people,” possibly referencing co-founder Chris Larsen and CEO Bradley Garlinghouse.

在随后的一篇旨在解释他对 Ripple 的厌恶的帖子中，他认为该公司的高管“不是好人”，可能指的是联合创始人克里斯·拉森 (Chris Larsen) 和首席执行官布拉德利·加林豪斯 (Bradley Garlinghouse)。

“The reason I’m a dick about Ripple isn’t because I care about XRP or its memecoin rally. I’m happy for all of the retail holders who have made bank. My issue with them is that they aren’t content with just being billionaires, they lust for power,” Selkis asserted.

“我之所以喜欢 Ripple，并不是因为我关心 XRP 或其 memecoin 的反弹。我为所有赚到钱的散户投资者感到高兴。我对他们的看法是，他们不仅仅满足于成为亿万富翁，他们还渴望权力，”塞尔基斯断言。

As ZyCrypto reported previously, Ripple donated $5 million worth of XRP to Trump’s presidential inaugural fund. Reports say that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Trump could review its crypto-related cases and pause any that don’t have fraud allegations.

正如 ZyCrypto 此前报道的那样，Ripple 向特朗普总统就职基金捐赠了价值 500 万美元的 XRP。有报道称，特朗普领导下的美国证券交易委员会（SEC）可能会审查其与加密货币相关的案件，并暂停任何没有欺诈指控的案件。

Industry lawyers also bet that the SEC will soon abandon its crypto cases. Ripple’s chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty said on Jan. 15 that the regulator’s long-running enforcement case against the firm was “likely to be abandoned” by the incoming Trump administration after the agency filed an appeal challenging a July 2023 ruling that partially dismissed claims against the company.

行业律师还打赌美国证券交易委员会将很快放弃其加密货币案件。 Ripple 首席法律官斯图尔特·阿尔德罗蒂 (Stuart Alderoty) 于 1 月 15 日表示，监管机构针对该公司的长期执法案件“可能会被即将上任的特朗普政府放弃”，此前该机构对 2023 年 7 月的一项裁决提出上诉，该裁决部分驳回了针对该公司的索赔公司。

More interestingly, Trump is reportedly open to creating a wider national strategic reserve — prioritizing U.S.-founded cryptocurrencies like XRP. The news was enough to send XRP to a price not seen since 2018. The crypto peaked at $3.38 — just two cents from its all-time high price mark.

更有趣的是，据报道，特朗普愿意建立更广泛的国家战略储备——优先考虑 XRP 等美国创建的加密货币。这一消息足以将 XRP 推至 2018 年以来的最高价格。该加密货币最高价为 3.38 美元，距离历史最高价仅两美分。
