Ripple Files Opposition Brief, Shaping the Fate of $1.3 Billion Lawsuit

Ripple 提交异议书，决定 13 亿美元诉讼的命运

In a pivotal moment for the Ripple vs. SEC legal battle, Ripple Labs has submitted its opposition brief today, April 22. The brief, accompanied by supporting declarations and exhibits, directly challenges the SEC's request for a $2 billion judgment against the blockchain firm.

在 Ripple 与 SEC 法律战的关键时刻，Ripple Labs 于今天（4 月 22 日）提交了反对意见书。该意见书连同支持声明和证物，直接挑战 SEC 要求对该区块链公司做出 20 亿美元判决的要求。

The opposition brief is a crucial juncture in the lawsuit, which has dragged on for over a year and has far-reaching implications for both Ripple and the broader cryptocurrency industry. A favorable outcome for Ripple could potentially end the lawsuit and positively impact the price of XRP, the company's native token.

反对派的简报是这起诉讼的关键时刻，该诉讼已经拖延了一年多，对 Ripple 和更广泛的加密货币行业都产生了深远的影响。对 Ripple 有利的结果可能会结束诉讼，并对该公司的原生代币 XRP 的价格产生积极影响。

Pro-XRP lawyers, including Bill Morgan, remain confident that Ripple will not settle with the SEC on its terms. Morgan argues that it makes no sense for a company that has largely defended itself successfully to pay $2 billion to the SEC. He maintains that the SEC's request for penalties is excessive and unwarranted.

包括 Bill Morgan 在内的支持 XRP 的律师仍然相信 Ripple 不会按照其条款与 SEC 达成和解。摩根认为，对于一家基本上已经成功捍卫自己的公司来说，向 SEC 支付 20 亿美元是没有意义的。他认为 SEC 的处罚要求过分且毫无根据。

SEC enforcement expert Marc Fagel echoes Morgan's sentiments, stating that the $2 billion figure is not part of a settlement process. Rather, he emphasizes that the judge will issue an order outlining appropriate remedies, if any. Fagel predicts that the SEC may appeal the summary judgment it lost against Ripple, which ruled that the SEC had not provided sufficient evidence to prove that Ripple's sales of XRP qualified as unregistered securities.

SEC 执法专家 Marc Fagel 赞同摩根的观点，表示 20 亿美元的金额不属于和解程序的一部分。相反，他强调法官将发布一项命令，概述适当的补救措施（如果有）。 Fagel 预测，SEC 可能会对 Ripple 败诉的简易判决提出上诉，该判决裁定 SEC 没有提供足够的证据来证明 Ripple 销售的 XRP 符合未注册证券的资格。

Morgan, however, downplays the significance of the SEC's potential appeal, asserting that the judge had determined that the SEC had "failed to satisfy the burden of proof" on the "other distributions" category of XRP sales. He believes that this part of the summary judgment is unlikely to be overturned on appeal.

然而，摩根淡化了 SEC 潜在上诉的重要性，声称法官已确定 SEC 对 XRP 销售的“其他发行版”类别“未能履行举证责任”。他认为，简易判决的这一部分不太可能在上诉时被推翻。

While Ripple is likely to face some fines, Morgan acknowledges that the court has ruled that XRP institutional sales constituted unregistered securities offerings. This suggests that Ripple may be ordered to pay penalties related to these transactions.

尽管 Ripple 可能面临一些罚款，但摩根承认法院已裁定 XRP 机构销售构成未注册的证券发行。这表明 Ripple 可能会被责令支付与这些交易相关的罚款。

The SEC has the option to appeal the final judgment to the Court of Appeals once it is issued by Judge Analisa Torres later this year. However, experts believe that the outcome of this potential appeal is uncertain and will depend on the specific arguments presented by both parties.

一旦法官 Analisa Torres 在今年晚些时候做出最终判决，美国证券交易委员会可以选择向上诉法院提出上诉。然而，专家认为，这一潜在上诉的结果尚不确定，将取决于双方提出的具体论点。

The legal battle between Ripple and the SEC has been closely watched by the cryptocurrency community and beyond. A favorable outcome for Ripple could provide clarity on the regulatory status of digital assets and potentially unlock significant value for XRP holders. Conversely, a ruling in favor of the SEC could cast a shadow over the cryptocurrency industry and hamper innovation.

Ripple 与 SEC 之间的法律战一直受到加密货币社区内外的密切关注。 Ripple 的有利结果可以使数字资产的监管状况变得清晰，并有可能为 XRP 持有者释放巨大的价值。相反，有利于美国证券交易委员会的裁决可能会给加密货币行业蒙上阴影并阻碍创新。
