Ripple 大膽提出暫緩請求

事態發生了重大轉折，支付巨頭 Ripple Labs 要求暫緩罰款，因為它與支付公司之間存在長期的法律糾紛。

Payment giant Ripple Labs has requested a stay on the monetary penalties as its prolonged legal dispute with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to unfold.

由於與美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的長期法律糾紛仍在繼續，支付巨頭 Ripple Labs 已請求暫緩罰款。

On Wednesday, the Ripple team filed a request for a stay on the monetary portion, specifically the $125 million fine, of the court's previous judgment. The plea was made in an effort by the company to postpone the financial penalties that the court had imposed pending the outcome of the case over whether or not its XRP token is considered a security on August 7, 2024.

週三，Ripple 團隊提出請求，要求暫緩執行法院先前判決中的金錢部分，特別是 1.25 億美元的罰款。該公司提出這項請求是為了推遲法院在 2024 年 8 月 7 日就其 XRP 代幣是否被視為證券的案件結果之前所施加的經濟處罰。

The request was filed in a letter addressed to the Southern District Court of New York, and the plea comes as the court had previously ordered Ripple to pay the monetary penalties by September 6.

該請求是在致紐約南區法院的一封信中提出的，而法院此前已命令 Ripple 在 9 月 6 日之前支付罰款。

The letter reads:

信中寫道：

“Plaintiff, the U.S. SEC, has consented to this request and to the terms of the Proposed Order that Ripple is submitting today. The monetary portion of the judgment is currently due to be paid this coming Friday, September 6, and Ripple respectfully asks that this court act on this stay request before that date.”

「原告美國證券交易委員會已同意此請求以及 Ripple 今天提交的擬議命令的條款。判決的金錢部分目前應於 9 月 6 日星期五支付，Ripple 謹請法院在此日期之前就該中止請求採取行動。

Specifically, this move would entail the payment company placing the $125 million fine into an escrow account. Should the regulatory watchdog choose not to appeal the motion, the funds will be released once the deadline has been surpassed.

具體來說，此舉將要求支付公司將 1.25 億美元的罰款存入託管帳戶。如果監管機構選擇不對該動議提出上訴，一旦超過截止日期，資金將被釋放。

However, if the agency decides not to file an appeal, the funds will go to Ripple Labs. Since the SEC approved these terms, the company has insurance under this agreement.

然而，如果該機構決定不提出上訴，資金將流向 Ripple Labs。由於 SEC 批准了這些條款，該公司根據該協議獲得了保險。

According to the filing, the stay will be in effect under the proposed order for 30 days following the appeal period's expiration or any appeal decision. As specified in the judgment, the SEC will receive post-judgment interest during this period.

根據備案文件，根據擬議的命令，中止將在上訴期滿或做出任何上訴決定後 30 天內有效。根據判決中的規定，美國證券交易委員會將在此期間收到判決後利息。

Furthermore, the fund and any interest that arises from its deposit in the escrow account registered under the name Kellogg Hansen will be owned beneficially by Ripple, with no control over it.

此外，該基金以及以 Kellogg Hansen 名義註冊的託管帳戶中的存款所產生的任何利息將由 Ripple 實益擁有，而無法控制它。

Industry Response To The Motion

業界對該動議的反應

Ripple's motion for stay has sparked a lot of buzz within the community regarding whether the regulatory watchdog will file for an appeal.

Ripple 的暫緩動議在社區內引發了許多關於監管機構是否會提出上訴的討論。

One prominent figure who has offered his insights into the matter is popular lawyer James A. Murphy, also known as the MetaLawMan. According to the lawyer, the only two options at this time are either the SEC is still unsure or has decided to appeal. However, considering the development, the attorney is confident that the SEC will appeal the motion because Ripple would have been forced to pay the $125 million fine if the Commission opted not to do so.

著名律師詹姆斯·A·墨菲（James A. Murphy）也被稱為 MetaLawMan，他對此事提出了自己的見解。該律師表示，目前只有兩個選擇，要不是 SEC 仍不確定，就是決定上訴。然而，考慮到事態的發展，律師有信心 SEC 會對這項動議提出上訴，因為如果 SEC 選擇不這樣做，Ripple 將被迫支付 1.25 億美元的罰款。

As the legal battle intensifies, this development represents another turning point in the case that might have long-term effects on the crypto industry.
