Ripple Labs 对 SEC 的处罚提议提出质疑，拒绝支付 10 亿美元的要求。 Ripple 辩称，SEC 尚未证明未来的违规行为，并提议最高处以 1000 万美元的罚款，强调其合规努力，并反对基于推测的未来违规行为而颁布禁令。

Ripple Rebuts SEC's Punitive Demands, Proposes Modest $10 Million Penalty

Ripple 反驳 SEC 的惩罚性要求，提议适度罚款 1000 万美元

San Francisco, CA - In a defiant response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) excessive penalty request, Ripple Labs has vehemently contested the proposed sanctions in its ongoing lawsuit. The blockchain payment provider decried the SEC's demand for over $1 billion in penalties, asserting that such an onerous sum is both unwarranted and unprecedented.

加利福尼亚州旧金山——作为对美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 过度处罚要求的挑衅回应，Ripple Labs 在其正在进行的诉讼中强烈反对拟议的制裁措施。这家区块链支付提供商谴责 SEC 要求超过 10 亿美元的罚款，声称如此​​巨额的金额既没有根据，也是史无前例的。

In a comprehensive court filing, Ripple meticulously outlined its rationale for opposing the SEC's exorbitant demands. The company asserted that the SEC has failed to provide compelling evidence to support its allegations of future violations or reckless disregard for the law. Furthermore, Ripple cited the precedent set in the Govil case, arguing that disgorgement should be prohibited due to the SEC's inability to demonstrate pecuniary harm.

在一份全面的法庭文件中，Ripple 细致地概述了其反对 SEC 过高要求的理由。该公司声称，美国证券交易委员会未能提供令人信服的证据来支持其对未来违规或鲁莽无视法律的指控。此外，Ripple 引用了 Govil 案中的先例，认为由于 SEC 无法证明金钱损害，因此应禁止返还非法所得。

Ripple's defense further challenged the SEC's proposed civil penalty, asserting that a maximum penalty of $10 million is more appropriate given the weak legal basis of the agency's case and the relatively modest fines imposed in similar digital asset cases.

Ripple 的辩护进一步对 SEC 提出的民事处罚提出质疑，声称鉴于该机构案件的法律基础薄弱，并且在类似的数字资产案件中处以相对较低的罚款，最高 1000 万美元的处罚更为合适。

"The SEC's excessive penalty demand is a clear example of regulatory overreach," stated Ripple General Counsel Stuart Alderoty. "The company has taken significant steps to rectify any past issues and is committed to compliance. The SEC's pursuit of an exorbitant penalty is unwarranted and out of step with the facts of the case."

Ripple 总法律顾问斯图尔特·阿尔德罗蒂 (Stuart Alderoty) 表示：“美国证券交易委员会的过度处罚要求是监管越权的明显例子。” “该公司已采取重大措施纠正过去的任何问题，并致力于遵守规定。美国证券交易委员会寻求过高的处罚是没有根据的，也不符合案件的事实。”

Despite the SEC's allegations, Ripple has proactively implemented transformative changes to its XRP sales practices. The company has obtained licenses for XRP sales outside the United States and revised its contracts to address potential concerns.

尽管有 SEC 的指控，Ripple 仍积极对其 XRP 销售实践实施变革。该公司已获得在美国境外销售 XRP 的许可，并修改了合同以解决潜在的问题。

"Ripple has been a pioneer in the digital asset space, and we remain committed to providing a secure and compliant platform for our customers," said Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO. "We will vigorously defend ourselves against the SEC's baseless claims and continue to work diligently to build a thriving digital economy."

Ripple 首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 表示：“Ripple 一直是数字资产领域的先驱，我们仍然致力于为客户提供安全且合规的平台。” “我们将针对美国证券交易委员会毫无根据的指控，积极为自己辩护，并继续努力建设繁荣的数字经济。”

Ripple's response to the SEC's punitive demands underscores the company's unwavering determination to defend its interests and promote innovation in the blockchain industry. The case is closely watched by the broader cryptocurrency community, as it has the potential to shape the regulatory landscape for digital assets.

Ripple对SEC惩罚性要求的回应凸显了该公司捍卫自身利益和促进区块链行业创新的坚定决心。此案受到更广泛的加密货币社区的密切关注，因为它有可能塑造数字资产的监管格局。

The SEC is expected to submit its reply brief under seal by May 6th. All involved parties, including third parties, have until May 20th to submit letter motions and opposition related to the sealing of specific details in the filings. The outcome of the case remains uncertain, but Ripple's spirited defense has injected new momentum into the protracted legal battle.

预计 SEC 将于 5 月 6 日之前提交密封的答复摘要。所有相关方，包括第三方，必须在 5 月 20 日之前提交与密封文件中具体细节相关的信函动议和反对意见。该案的结果尚不明朗，但Ripple的积极辩护为旷日持久的法律战注入了新的动力。
