加密貨幣價格變化不大，XRP 飆升

2024 年 8 月 8 日加密貨幣市場的最新價格走勢。

Good morning. Bitcoin was little changed during the European morning, trading just above $57,000, 0.2% higher than 24 hours ago. The broader digital asset market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), is similarly sedate, sitting 0.6% higher. One stand-out is XRP, which jumped nearly 20% after a judge reached a milestone ruling in the Ripple's long-running legal case with the SEC. On Wednesday, a federal judge ordered Ripple to pay $125 million in civil penalties and imposed an injunction against future securities law violations. Although the case is said to have reached its end, the SEC is expected to appeal the ruling – likely extending legal matters.

早安.比特幣在歐洲早盤幾乎沒有變化，交易價格略高於 57,000 美元，比 24 小時前上漲 0.2%。以 CoinDesk 20 指數 (CD20) 衡量的更廣泛的數位資產市場也同樣平靜，上漲了 0.6%。其中一個突出的例子是 XRP，在法官對 Ripple 與 SEC 的長期法律案件達成里程碑式的裁決後，XRP 上漲了近 20%。週三，一名聯邦法官命令 Ripple 支付 1.25 億美元的民事罰款，並對未來違反證券法的行為下達禁令。儘管該案據說已經結束，但預計美國證券交易委員會將對裁決提出上訴——可能會延長法律事務。

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered ordered Ripple to pay $125 million in civil penalties, reaching a milestone in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) long-running case against the digital payments company.

週三，一名聯邦法官下令 Ripple 支付 1.25 億美元的民事罰款，這在美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 針對這家數位支付公司的長期訴訟中達到了一個里程碑。

The judge also barred Ripple from committing future securities law violations, largely as requested by the SEC. The regulator had sought $1.3 billion in penalties from Ripple and a permanent injunction against future securities law violations.

法官還禁止 Ripple 未來繼續違反證券法，這主要是按照 SEC 的要求。該監管機構已要求 Ripple 處以 13 億美元的罰款，並針對未來違反證券法的行為制定永久禁令。

"We are pleased that the court has largely sided with Ripple on the key legal issues in this case," a Ripple spokesperson told CoinDesk in an email. "The decision creates a clear legal precedent that will help shape the future of crypto in the United States."

Ripple 發言人在一封電子郵件中告訴 CoinDesk：“我們很高興法院在本案的關鍵法律問題上基本上站在 Ripple 一邊。” “該決定創造了一個明確的法律先例，將有助於塑造美國加密貨幣的未來。”

The SEC declined to comment on the ruling.

美國證券交易委員會拒絕就該裁決發表評論。

The case began in December 2020, when the SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple, alleging that the company had raised over $1.3 billion through an unregistered digital asset securities offering. The SEC had argued that seven years prior, when Ripple began offering XRP, it should have been registered with the regulator.

該案始於 2020 年 12 月，當時 SEC 對 Ripple 提起訴訟，指控該公司透過未註冊的數位資產證券發行籌集了超過 13 億美元資金。美國證券交易委員會認為，七年前，當 Ripple 開始提供 XRP 時，它應該已經在監管機構註冊。

The case centered on whether XRP is an investment contract, which would make it a security under U.S. law. If so, then Ripple would have had to register the offering with the SEC. Both parties filed motions for summary judgment earlier this year, arguing that there were no genuine disputes over any material facts and that they were entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

該案的焦點是 XRP 是否屬於投資合約，這將使其成為美國法律規定的證券。如果是這樣，那麼 Ripple 就必須向 SEC 註冊此次發行。雙方今年稍早都提出了簡易判決動議，辯稱對任何重大事實不存在真正的爭議，並且根據法律他們有權獲得判決。

"The court's decision is a significant development in the crypto industry and will likely have a lasting impact on how digital assets are regulated in the United States," the Ripple spokesperson added. "We are confident that this decision will ultimately help to create a clearer and more efficient regulatory framework for crypto in the U.S."

Ripple 發言人補充說：“法院的判決是加密貨幣行業的重大發展，可能會對美國數位資產的監管方式產生持久影響。” “我們相信這一決定最終將有助於為美國的加密貨幣創建一個更清晰、更有效的監管框架”

The judge's ruling largely aligns with XRP holders’ arguments in the case, known as the "friends of the court" briefs, which had pushed for the court to rule that XRP is not a security. Several XRP holders had also filed a motion to intervene in the case, which was denied by the judge in March 2023.

法官的裁決在很大程度上與 XRP 持有者在該案中的論點一致，即所謂的「法庭之友」簡報，該簡報促使法院裁定 XRP 不是證券。一些 XRP 持有者也提出了介入此案的動議，但該動議於 2023 年 3 月被法官駁回。

Now that the judge has made a ruling on the matter of whether XRP is a security, the case is expected to move quickly. The next steps will likely include the SEC filing an appeal, which would further delay the conclusion of the case.

現在法官已經就 XRP 是否是證券的問題做出了裁決，案件預計很快就會進展。接下來的步驟可能包括美國證券交易委員會提起上訴，這將進一步推遲案件的結論。
