SEC曾經非常擔心如果Ripple“消失”會發生什麼

根據Coinbase通過《信息自由法》（FOIA）的要求，SEC官員正在積極辯論2021年各種加密資產的穩定性和安全分類。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officials were deeply worried about the future of crypto asset XRP in case the company "walked away" or "disappeared," according to newly released documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Coinbase.

根據Coinbase的新發布的文件（FOIA），美國證券交易委員會（SEC）官員（SEC）官員非常擔心Crypto Asset XRP的未來，以防該公司“走開”或“失踪”。

The stability and security class of various crypto assets were actively discussed by SEC officials in 2021, and XRP was very much on their radar, the documents show.

文件顯示，SEC官員在2021年對各種加密資產進行了穩定和安全階級，XRP非常關注他們的雷達。

In one internal email, SEC officials questioned what might happen if Ripple, the company behind XRP, were suddenly to "walk away" or "disappear," The Block reports.

在一封內部電子郵件中，SEC官員質疑如果XRP背後的公司突然“走開”或“消失”，可能會發生什麼。

The agency appeared concerned about what risks could surface for the XRP blockchain in such a scenario.

該機構似乎擔心在這種情況下，XRP區塊鏈可能會出現哪些風險。

"If they walked away or disappeared, wouldn't there be issues with the stability and security class of the asset? Or is that a concern only for a centralized company and not for the underlying asset class itself?" one email reads.

“如果他們走開或消失了，資產的穩定和安全階層是否會有問題嗎？或者這僅是對集中式公司而不是基礎資產類別本身的問題？”一封電子郵件讀取。

At the time, the SEC had already kicked off a major lawsuit against Ripple, accusing it of operating illegally by selling XRP as an unregistered security.

當時，SEC已經開始針對Ripple的重大訴訟，指控它是通過出售XRP作為未註冊的安全性而非法運營的。

While Ripple has since emerged victorious from that battle — even winning back some of the penalties it had previously paid — these newly uncovered emails show just how uncertain the regulators were about the decentralization and resilience of the XRP network itself.

儘管Ripple從那場戰鬥中取得了勝利（甚至贏得了以前支付的一些罰款），但這些新發現的電子郵件表明，監管機構對XRP網絡本身的分散和韌性有多麼不確定。

The revelations come amid a broader series of disclosures this week from Coinbase, which published dozens of SEC communications related to crypto oversight as part of its own ongoing legal standoff with the agency.

在本週Coinbase的一系列廣泛披露之中，啟示錄出來了，該披露是與該機構正在進行的法律僵局的一部分，發表了數十種與加密貨幣監督有關的SEC通訊。

This isn't the first time SEC deliberations on crypto assets have made headlines. The same document dump also revealed how, in 2023, the New York State Attorney General had formally asked the SEC to declare Ethereum's Ether (ETH) a security — a request that was ultimately ignored.

這不是SEC關於加密資產的首次審議。同一份文件轉儲還揭示了2023年，紐約州檢察長在2023年正式要求SEC宣布以太坊的以太（ETH）為安全，這是最終被忽略的請求。
