托雷斯法官以XRP訴訟中的程序不當行為否認SEC和Ripple和解動議

紐約聯邦法官負責監督對Ripple Labs的證券交易委員會（SEC）執法案件，否認雙方的共同動議，要求在正在進行的訴訟中採取指示性裁決或解決。

A New York federal judge has shot down a joint motion by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs to rule indicatively or settle their lawsuit, Judge Torres said in a ruling on Wednesday.

托雷斯法官在周三的一項裁決中說，紐約聯邦法官已取消了證券交易委員會（SEC）和Ripple Labs的聯合動議，以統治或解決其訴訟。

Judge Torres also refused to signal any reconsideration of her decisions should the case be returned by a higher court, deeming it procedurally improper to present such a request in a joint motion for an indicative ruling or settlement.

托雷斯法官還拒絕表示，如果高級法院將案件歸還，則表示對她的裁決進行任何重新考慮，並認為該案件在程序上不當地在聯合動議中提出了指示性裁定或解決方案的要求。

This ruling does not affect Ripple’s earlier legal victories, such as the finding that its digital asset XRP is not a security. Both parties remain keen to settle the case and will be applying for an unenumerated motion to close the case, Judge Torres said.

該裁決不會影響Ripple早期的法律勝利，例如其數字資產XRP不是安全性的發現。托雷斯法官說，雙方仍熱衷於解決此案，並將申請未成熟的動議以關閉案件。

“Despite their differing positions on the applicable legal standard, both parties are interested in settling this case and moving it toward closure,” Judge Torres said.

托雷斯法官說：“儘管在適用的法律標准上的職位不同，但雙方都對解決此案並將其轉向關閉感興趣。”

Both parties will be applying for an unenumerated motion to close the case, Judge Torres added.

托雷斯法官補充說，雙方都將申請一項未耗盡的動議，以關閉案件。

The ruling keeps the status quo in the penalty phase of the litigation and may provide some relief to XRP holders, who have been closely following the case.

該裁決將現狀保持在訴訟的懲罰階段，並可能使XRP持有人有所緩解，XRP持有人緊隨其後。

Earlier this year, Judge Torres ruled largely in favor of Ripple in a summary judgment motion, partially granting the SEC’s motion for partial summary judgment.

今年早些時候，托雷斯法官在一項簡易判決動議中裁定很大程度上支持Ripple，部分批准了SEC的部分簡易判決動議。

The SEC is appealing part of Judge Torres’s summary judgment ruling to the federal appeals court in New York.

美國證券交易委員會（SEC）提出上訴托雷斯法官（Torres）法官對紐約聯邦上訴法院的簡易判決裁決的一部分。

The agency is appealing Judge Torres’s ruling that the SEC failed to provide fair notice to Ripple and other cryptocurrency companies that its token was a security.

該機構對托雷斯法官的裁決提出上訴，即SEC未能向Ripple和其他加密貨幣公司提供公正通知，即其代幣是安全的。

The SEC had argued that it was not required to register its securities offerings and that its failure to do so was a technical violation.

SEC辯稱，不需要註冊其證券產品，並且其未能做到的是技術違規。

However, Judge Torres said that the SEC had been on notice since 1939 that it needed to provide fair notice to cryptocurrency companies of the securities laws.

但是，托雷斯法官說，自1939年以來，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）一直在通知，它需要向證券法的加密貨幣公司提供公平通知。

“Despite this lengthy period of time, the SEC did not provide any notice to cryptocurrency companies until 2018, when it began to bring enforcement actions against several companies,” Judge Torres said.

托雷斯法官說：“儘管這段時間很長一段時間，但SEC直到2018年才向加密貨幣公司提供任何通知，直到2018年開始對幾家公司提起執法行動。”

The judge added that the SEC’s actions were part of a broader pattern of “shifting the goalposts” and trying to apply the securities laws retroactively.

法官補充說，美國證券交易委員會的行動是“移動門柱”並試圖追溯應用證券法的更廣泛模式的一部分。

Judge Torres also said that the SEC’s claim that it had no obligation to register its securities offerings was “simply not credible.”

托雷斯法官還說，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）沒有義務註冊其證券產品的說法“根本不可信”。

“The SEC has a statutory mandate to protect investors and maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets,” Judge Torres said.

托雷斯法官說：“ SEC具有保護投資者並保持公平，有序和有效的市場的法定授權。”

The judge said that the agency had a clear obligation to register any security that is sold to the public.

法官說，該機構有明確的義務註冊出售給公眾的任何安全性。

“The SEC cannot simply ignore this obligation because it believes that it is more important to bring enforcement actions,” Judge Torres said.

托雷斯法官說：“ SEC不能簡單地忽略這一義務，因為它認為採取執法行動更為重要。”

The judge’s ruling is a setback for the SEC, which has been struggling to keep pace with the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency sector.

法官的裁決是SEC的挫折，該裁決一直在努力與快速發展的加密貨幣部門保持同步。

The agency’s efforts to regulate cryptocurrencies have been met with skepticism from some members of Congress, who have accused the SEC of overstepping its bounds.

該機構為監管加密貨幣的努力受到了一些國會議員的懷疑，他們指責SEC超過其範圍。

Earlier this year, a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation that would create a comprehensive framework for cryptocurrency regulation.

今年早些時候，兩黨議員團體提出了立法，該立法將為加密貨幣監管創建全面的框架。

The bill, which is still pending, would grant the SEC broad authority to oversee cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins and decentralized finance protocols.

該法案仍在等待中，將授予SEC廣泛的權力，以監督加密貨幣，包括穩定幣和分散的財務協議。

Lawmakers said the bill is necessary to prevent fraud and abuse in the cryptocurrency sector.

立法者說，該法案對於防止加密貨幣部門的欺詐和虐待是必要的。

However, some critics said the bill would stifle innovation in the cryptocurrency industry.

但是，一些批評家說，該法案將扼殺加密貨幣行業的創新。
