即使按照波紋的標準，這已經令人眼花

儘管首席執行官確認了3月與SEC的訴訟結束，但SEC昨天宣布了這些條款。

The founder of the XRP Ledger, Ripple, is making headlines again, this time with three disparate pieces of news in a 24 hour period, even by the standards of the company.

XRP Ledger的創始人Ripple再次成為頭條新聞，這次是在24小時內，即使按照公司的標準，也有三本不同的新聞。

The CEO confirmed an end to litigation with the SEC in March, and yesterday the SEC announced the terms of that final settlement. Separately, the company announced an investment in pharmaceutical logistics firm Wellgistics, providing a $50 million Equity Line of Credit. Plus, Politico reported that a lobbying firm was in hot water for drafting President Trump’s social media post that included XRP in a government crypto reserve.

首席執行官確認了3月與SEC的訴訟結束，昨天，美國證券交易委員會宣布了最終解決的條款。另外，該公司宣布對製藥物流公司的投資，提供了5000萬美元的信用額度。另外，Politico報告說，一家遊說公司正在熱水中起草特朗普總統的社交媒體帖子，其中包括XRP在政府加密保護區中。

The SEC sued Ripple in 2020 claiming that XRP is a security. Last year a judge found in favor of both parties. Sales of XRP to institutional investors were considered sales of unregistered securities, for which Ripple was fined $125 million. But sales to retail investors via exchanges were not considered to be sales of securities.

SEC在2020年起訴Ripple，聲稱XRP是安全的。去年，法官發現雙方都讚成。 XRP向機構投資者的銷售被認為是未註冊證券的銷售，而Ripple被罰款1.25億美元。但是，通過交易所向零售投資者的銷售不被認為是證券的銷售。

Both parties are dropping their appeals and the fine of $125 million has been reduced to an agreed $50 million.

雙方都在放棄上訴，罰款1.25億美元已減少到約定的5000萬美元。

However, there were some caveats. The SEC said that the settlement did not reflect “on any assessment of the merits of the claims alleged in the action. Furthermore, the Commission’s decision to resolve this enforcement action does not necessarily reflect the Commission’s position on any other case.”

但是，有一些警告。美國證券交易委員會表示，和解沒有反映“對訴訟中所指控的索賠的優點進行的任何評估。此外，委員會決定解決這一執行訴訟的決定並不一定反映了委員會在任何其他案件上的立場。”

Unrelated to the SEC announcement, President Trump is displeased with lobbyist Brian Ballard over a social media crypto posting.

與SEC宣布無關，特朗普總統在社交媒體加密郵政上對遊說者布萊恩·巴拉德（Brian Ballard）感到不滿。

In March, shortly before the Crypto White House Summit, President Trump surprised the crypto sector by using social media to announce a Crypto Strategic Reserve that would include XRP, SOL and ADA. This seemed a little odd, especially given that bitcoin and ether would be more obvious components. While President Trump’s family has numerous crypto interests, on occasion the President’s comments have revealed he’s personally not that familiar with the sector, so he wouldn’t be aware that these coins might not have been obvious picks.

3月，即在加密白宮峰會之前不久，特朗普總統通過使用社交媒體宣布將包括XRP，SOL和ADA在內的加密戰略儲備，使加密貨幣部門感到驚訝。這似乎有些奇怪，尤其是考慮到比特幣和以太將是更明顯的組成部分。儘管特朗普總統的家人有許多加密貨幣興趣，但有時總統的評論表明他個人對該行業並不熟悉，因此他不會意識到這些硬幣可能不是顯而易見的選擇。

According to Politico, an employee of Ballard’s lobbying firm badgered the President to make the post, and he eventually relented. But he was unaware that the lobbying firm was working with the founder of the XRP Ledger and was annoyed to find out. On seeing the post, an irate White House crypto czar David Sacks immediately got in touch with the Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to complain. Hence, shortly afterward President Trump posted that bitcoin and ether would be part of the reserve.

據巴拉德遊說公司的一名僱員Politico稱，總統登上了這一職位，他最終放棄了。但是他不知道該遊說公司正在與XRP Ledger的創始人合作，並很生氣地找出答案。看到該職位後，一個憤怒的白宮加密沙皇大衛·薩克斯（David Sacks）立即與參謀長蘇西·威爾斯（Susie Wiles）取得了聯繫，以抱怨。因此，不久之後，特朗普總統發布了比特幣和以太將成為預備役的一部分。

The third story is another variation on the pay-for-play theme. Ripple gave Wellgistics $50 million as an “equity line of credit”. That implies a loan secured by the company’s assets. Investors in the Nasdaq listed company responded with an initial price spike, followed by it tanking more than a third compared to the pre-announcement price, settling at $3.

第三個故事是付費主題的另一個變體。 Ripple作為“股權信貸額度”提供了5000萬美元。這意味著公司資產獲得的貸款。納斯達克上市公司的投資者以初始價格飆升做出了回應，其次是IT儲罐超過三分之一的價格，而預告前的價格為3美元。

With this move, Ripple aims to increase usage of XRP in the real world. Wellgistics will use XRP as part of its treasury and for real time payments by US pharmacies.

通過此舉，Ripple的目標是增加對現實世界中XRP的使用。 Wellgistics將使用XRP作為美國國庫的一部分，並將其用於美國藥房的實時付款。

While Wellgistics promotes this as an innovation in healthcare payments, there’s a big difference between using blockchain for a payment system and using XRP as a payment instrument.

儘管Wellgistics將其作為醫療保健支付的創新促進，但使用區塊鏈作為支付系統和使用XRP作為付款工具之間存在很大差異。

What seems a little jarring is that Wellgistics expects US based companies to pay other US based companies in XRP rather than dollars. Even getting them to adopt a stablecoin for domestic payments is a hard sell, but XRP? Unless the use of XRP is entirely in the background, whatever possible savings a pharmacy might make on ACH payment charges, will likely be more than covered by additional accounting costs. For example, Citi charges 21 cents for ACH payments, plus $12 for processing a batch of payments. The announcement claims costs of $10-$30 for standard bank wires.

似乎有些震驚的是，韋爾格學期望美國公司以XRP而不是美元支付其他美國公司。即使讓他們採用穩定幣進行國內付款是一個艱難的銷售，但是XRP呢？除非使用XRP完全在後台，否則藥房可能會根據ACH付款費用節省的任何可能的節省，否則可能會超過額外的會計費用。例如，花旗收取21美分的ACH付款，加上處理一批付款的$ 12。該公告索賠為標準銀行電線的費用為10-30美元。

“We are developing a platform that connects manufacturers directly to pharmacies and patients – bypassing the red tape and placing control back in the hands of those who deliver care,” said Brian Norton, CEO of Wellgistics Health. “Our blockchain-enabled payment system and ledger is just the next logical step in healthcare evolution, allowing us to hardwire speed, liquidity, and transparency into a system that’s long been starved of all three.”

Wellgistics Health首席執行官Brian Norton說：“我們正在開發一個平台，該平台將製造商直接連接到藥房和患者 - 繞過繁文tape節並將控制權放回那些提供護理的人的手中。” “我們的支持區塊鏈的支付系統和分類帳只是醫療保健發展的下一個邏輯步驟，使我們能夠硬化速度，流動性和透明度，使其長期以來一直餓死了這三個系統。”

Wellgistics provides an app to pharmaceutical firms to deal with logistics, so the integration is entirely possible.

Wellgistics為製藥公司提供了一個應用程序來處理物流，因此集成是完全可能的。

On the plus side, pharmaceuticals distribution is one of the few sectors outside of finance that has embraced blockchain to some extent, with IBM, Mediledger and LedgerDomain amongst the companies involved. New laws require greater transparency and sharing of information between manufacturers, distributors and pharmacies, so many have adopted blockchain.

從好的方面來說，Pharmaceuticals的分銷是金融領域以外的少數部門之一，在某種程度上，在某種程度上採用了區塊鏈，而IBM，Mediledger和Ledgerdomain在相關公司中。新法律需要更大的透明度，並在製造商，分銷商和藥房之間共享信息，因此許多人都採用了區塊鏈。

Circling back to the investment by the founder of the XRP Ledger, it’s a win for the company either way. The announcement alone highlights the company’s commitment to promoting the XRP token, following its recent focus on stablecoins. Given the pharma sector’s embrace of blockchain, it’s conceivable it could boost

XRP Ledger的創始人回到投資，這對公司來說都是勝利。僅此消息就突出了該公司最近關注Stablecoins的促進XRP令牌的承諾。鑑於製藥行業對區塊鏈的擁抱，可以想像它可以提升
