Ripple Labs同意解決SEC訴訟，同意支付5000萬美元的罰款

Ripple Labs將定下與SEC的長期法律鬥爭，同意對原始$ 1.25億美元的罰款進行5000萬美元的罰款。

Ripple Labs is set to settle its long-running legal battle with the SEC, agreeing to a revised $50 million penalty—down from the original $125 million, and the SEC will return $75 million, pending final court and commissioner approval, according to a joint statement filed on Wednesday.

根據周三提交的聯合聲明，《 Ripple Labs》將定居與SEC的長期法律鬥爭，同意對原始$ 1.25億美元的罰款進行修訂的5,000萬美元罰款，而SEC將返還7500萬美元，待定最終法院和專員批准。

The move follows the SEC dropping its appeal of a 2023 ruling that found Ripple’s XRP retail sales didn’t violate securities laws, though institutional sales did.

此舉是在SEC刪除了2023年的一項裁決的上訴，該裁決發現Ripple的XRP零售銷售並未違反證券法，儘管機構銷售確實如此。

The agency also plans to lift the injunction currently in place.

該機構還計劃取消目前的禁令。

Ripple will also withdraw its own cross-appeal.

Ripple還將撤回自己的交叉上訴。

The regulatory clarity has sparked discussion about potential future XRP-based exchange-traded products (ETPs), with Nicolai Søndergaard, a research analyst at blockchain analytics firm Nansen, noting: "There is a higher chance of success for XRP futures or spot ETFs now."

監管清晰度引發了人們對潛在的基於XRP的交易所交易所產品（ETP）的討論，與區塊鏈分析公司Nansen的研究分析師NicolaiSøndergaard引發了討論：“現在，XRP期貨或現場ETF的成功機會更高。”

However, analysts remain skeptical about XRP's upside in the context of the current stablecoin enthusiasm, particularly with Ripple's planned RLUSD stablecoin still awaiting broader adoption.

但是，在當前的Stablecoin熱情的背景下，分析師仍然對XRP的上升空間持懷疑態度，尤其是隨著Ripple計劃的RLUSD Stablecoin仍在等待更廣泛的採用。

"The XRP token won't necessarily benefit from it as much as Ripple the company would," Søndergaard told Benzinga. "It wouldn't be surprising if people invest in XRP expecting gains, but that doesn't guarantee utility-based growth."

Søndergaard告訴Benzinga：“ XRP代幣不一定會從中受益。” “如果人們投資於XRP期望收益，但這並不能保證基於公用事業的增長，這並不奇怪。”

Patrick Young, Head of GTM at Web3 platform Galxe, had a similar take.

Web3平台Galxe的GTM負責人Patrick Young也有類似的看法。

"The current stablecoin bull market is no more than a few headlines around some sensational launches," he told Benzinga. "XRP has utility as an institutional tool, but the trend around stablecoins may be entirely irrelevant to it."

他告訴Benzinga：“目前的Stablecoin牛市不超過一些轟動性發射的頭條新聞。” “ XRP具有實用性作為一種機構工具，但穩定幣的趨勢可能完全與之無關。”

Despite a spike in price following the resolution of the SEC lawsuit, XRP has since struggled to build momentum.

儘管SEC訴訟解決後，價格激增，但XRP此後一直在努力建立動力。

Young noted the token has remained "range-bound between $2.58 and $1.94," with decreasing volume and limited catalysts for near-term rallies.

Young指出，該令牌仍然“限制在2.58美元至1.94美元之間”，量減少了近期集會的量和有限的催化劑。

Meanwhile, Jean Rausis, co-founder of DeFi platform SMARDEX, offered a critical view, noting that XRP's growth has little to do with the values underpinned by the broader decentralized movement.

同時，Defi Platform Smardex的聯合創始人Jean Rausis提出了一個批判性的觀點，並指出XRP的增長與更廣泛的分散運動所基於的價值無關。

"XRP is a centralized, pre-mined token, operated by Ripple validators… a financial tool for banks — not a symbol of decentralization," he said.

他說：“ XRP是一個集中的，預先開采的令牌，由波紋驗證者……是銀行的財務工具，而不是權力下放的象徵。”

He went further, comparing XRP's market appeal to fast food: "Seeing the market capitalization of XRP increase is like watching a fast-food chain make more money than a Michelin-starred restaurant… it says nothing about quality or innovation."

他走得更遠，將XRP的市場吸引力與快餐店進行了比較：“看到XRP增長的市值就像看著快餐連鎖店比米其林星級餐廳賺更多的錢……它沒有說明質量或創新。”

As the SEC's softened stance on Ripple may boost investor sentiment, the analysts opine that XRP's future will be defined more by institutional utility than by retail-driven stablecoin hype.

由於SEC對Ripple的柔和立場可能會促進投資者的情緒，因此分析師認為，XRP的未來將通過機構效用比零售驅動的Stablecoin Hype更加定義。
