$ XRP的野外旅程：摇滚加密货币的13亿美元的SEC摊牌 - 接下来是什么？

扣紧，Binance Square船员！让我们回到2020年12月，当时$ XRP（Ripple's Golden Child）以13亿美元的重磅炸弹拍打。

In December 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Ripple Labs for allegedly selling unregistered securities in the form of its cryptocurrency, XRP.

2020年12月，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）起诉Ripple Labs，据称以其加密货币XRP出售未注册的证券。

The lawsuit, which had been closely followed by the cryptocurrency community, finally came to an end on Monday, March 16, 2025, when the SEC announced it would no longer appeal a July 2023 ruling by a federal judge that largely favored Ripple.

加密货币社区紧随其后的诉讼终于于2025年3月16日星期一结束，当时SEC宣布它将不再上诉2023年7月的联邦法官裁定，该裁决在很大程度上赞成Ripple。

The SEC’s lawsuit, filed shortly after the agency began cracking down on cryptocurrency in 2020, had focused on three types of sales of XRP. The SEC argued that Ripple sold XRP to institutional investors through private placement offerings, which required registration with the SEC.

SEC的诉讼是在该机构于2020年开始打击加密货币后不久提起的，该诉讼集中在XRP的三种销售上。 SEC认为，Ripple通过私人安置产品将XRP卖给了机构投资者，这需要向SEC进行注册。

However, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that these sales of XRP were made in accordance with federal securities law and did not need to be registered.

但是，Analisa Torres法官裁定，XRP的这些销售是根据联邦证券法进行的，无需注册。

The SEC also sued Ripple for selling XRP to the public through a “running cryptocurrency exchange.” Torres ruled that these sales of XRP, which began in 2013, were not registered with the SEC, and that these sales should have been registered.

SEC还通过“运行加密货币交易所”向公众起诉Ripple，以将XRP出售给公众。托雷斯（Torres）裁定，这些XRP的这些销售始于2013年，未在SEC注册，这些销售额应已注册。

However, Torres ruled that the statute of limitations had expired for the SEC to pursue claims related to these sales of XRP. The statute of limitations is a time limit for filing a lawsuit.

但是，托雷斯（Torres）裁定，《美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的时效法规》已过期，以寻求与XRP销售相关的索赔。法规是提起诉讼的时间限制。

The SEC also claimed that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had made false or misleading statements about XRP to investors. However, Torres ruled in favor of Ripple on this claim as well.

SEC还声称，Ripple首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse向投资者发表了关于XRP的虚假或误导性陈述。但是，托雷斯也对这一主张也裁定支持Ripple。

In her ruling, Torres wrote that the SEC had failed to carry its burden of proof on this claim.

托雷斯在裁决中写道，SEC未能对此主张承担举证责任。

Following Monday’s announcement that the SEC would not appeal the ruling, shares of Coinbase (NASDAQ:) and other cryptocurrency-related stocks rose sharply.

在周一宣布SEC不会对该裁决提出上诉之后，Coinbase（NASDAQ :)和其他与加密货币有关的股票的股票急剧上升。

After a federal judge largely ruled in favor of Ripple in July 2023, the SEC appealed part of the ruling to the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in January 2024.

在2023年7月，一名联邦法官在很大程度上裁定支持Ripple之后，SEC于2024年1月向美国第二巡回上诉法院上诉。

The agency had argued that the judge erred in her ruling that the statute of limitations had expired for the SEC to pursue claims related to sales of XRP to institutional investors.

该机构辩称，法官在她的裁决中犯了错误，即SEC的法规已过期，以寻求与XRP向机构投资者销售有关的索赔。

However, in March 2025, the SEC announced that it would no longer appeal the ruling.

但是，在2025年3月，SEC宣布将不再对裁决提出上诉。

The SEC also said it was closing its investigation into Trump administration-era cybersecurity adviser Thomas Bossert over allegations he lied to reporters about Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

美国证券交易委员会还表示，它正在关闭对特朗普政府时代的网络安全顾问托马斯·博斯特（Thomas Bossert）的调查，他对他对记者撒谎的指控涉及俄罗斯对2016年美国大选的干预。

The agency said it had reached the "logical conclusion" of its probe and would not pursue further action.

该机构表示，它已经达到了调查的“逻辑结论”，不会采取进一步的行动。

The agency’s decision comes after a judge ruled in November 2024 that the statute of limitations had expired for the SEC to file a lawsuit against Bossert.

该机构的决定是在法官于2024年11月裁定的，该法规已要求SEC对Bossert提起诉讼。

The SEC had been investigating Bossert since 2017, after he gave an interview to The New York Times in which he appeared to contradict statements made by U.S. intelligence officials about Russian interference in the election.

SEC自2017年以来一直在调查Bossert，此前他接受了《纽约时报》的采访后，他似乎与美国情报官员对俄罗斯干预选举的言论相矛盾。

The SEC alleged that Bossert knew the intelligence officials’ statements were true, but that he made false or misleading statements to reporters in an attempt to protect Trump.

SEC指控Bossert知道情报官员的陈述是真实的，但他向记者发表了虚假或误导性的陈述，以保护特朗普。

However, the judge ruled that the SEC should have filed its lawsuit sooner.

但是，法官裁定SEC应该早日提起诉讼。

"The SEC had ample opportunity to bring this case within the statute of limitations," the judge said in her ruling.

法官在她的裁决中说：“ SEC有足够的机会将这一案件纳入局限性。”

The SEC said in a statement on Monday that it would continue to focus on its core mission of protecting investors and the public interest.

SEC在周一的一份声明中说，它将继续专注于保护投资者和公共利益的核心使命。

"We are disappointed that the court ruled against us on the statute of limitations issue," the SEC said. "But we respect the court’s decision and we will move on."

美国证券交易委员会说：“我们对法院在法规问题上裁定我们对我们感到失望。” “但是我们尊重法院的裁决，我们将继续前进。”

The SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple was closely followed by members of the cryptocurrency community.

SEC针对Ripple的诉讼紧随其后的是加密货币社区的成员。

After the judge ruled in favor of Ripple on most of the claims in the lawsuit, several cryptocurrency traders said they planned to buy XRP.

在法官对诉讼中的大多数索赔中裁定支持Ripple的裁决之后，几位加密货币交易者表示，他们计划购买XRP。

The price of XRP rose sharply following the judge’s ruling, and several cryptocurrency exchanges began listing XRP again after delisting the cryptocurrency following the SEC’s lawsuit in 2020.

法官的裁决后，XRP的价格急剧上升，几次加密货币交易所在2020年SEC诉讼之后将加密货币推迟后，再次列出了XRP。

The cryptocurrency had been delisted by several exchanges after the SEC sued Ripple, with some exchanges also freezing the accounts of U.S. traders who held XRP.

SEC起诉Ripple之后，加密货币已经被多次交流所划定，一些交流还冻结了持有XRP的美国交易者的帐户。

Announced in December 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's lawsuit against Ripple Labs over its cryptocurrency, XRP, sent shockwaves through the crypto sphere.

Claiming that XRP should have been registered as a security, the SEC sued Ripple for allegedly defrauding investors. The lawsuit, which also targeted CEO Brad Garlinghouse and former president Greg Kleege, spanned seven years of XRP sales from 2013 to 2020.

SEC声称XRP应该被注册为安全，因此起诉Ripple涉嫌欺骗投资者。该诉讼还针对首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）和前总统格雷格·克莱格（Greg Kleege），从2013年到2020年跨越了XRP销售七年。
