Ripple vs. SEC: A Long-Running Saga

Ripple 與 SEC：曠日持久的傳奇

Ripple, the company behind the cryptocurrency XRP, has been embroiled in a legal battle with the SEC since 2020. The regulator hit the fintech firm with a $1.3 billion lawsuit, alleging that it sold unregistered securities in the form of XRP, which is now the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

加密貨幣XRP 背後的公司Ripple 自2020 年以來一直捲入與SEC 的法律訴訟。監管機構對這家金融科技公司提起了13 億美元的訴訟，指控其以XRP 的形式出售未註冊的證券，而XRP現在是以市值計算第六大加密貨幣。

However, earlier this year, Ripple scored a partial victory against the SEC when a judge ruled that programmatic sales of XRP to retail investors did not qualify as securities.

然而，今年早些時候，Ripple 在對抗 SEC 時取得了部分勝利，當時法官裁定向散戶投資者程序化銷售 XRP 不符合證券資格。

Despite the judge also ruling that $728 million worth of contracts for institutional sales of the token did constitute unregistered securities sales, Ripple and its supporters saw the partial ruling as a win for the broader crypto industry.

儘管法官也裁定價值 7.28 億美元的代幣機構銷售合約確實構成未註冊的證券銷售，但 Ripple 及其支持者認為部分裁決是更廣泛的加密行業的勝利。
