隨著 Ripple 實驗室可能與 SEC 和解的猜測不斷增加，XRP 飆升

（彭博）—一種鮮為人知的加密貨幣處於該行業關鍵法律鬥爭的中心，正在引領數位資產的最新反彈，人們猜測其背後的公司可能很快就會與美國監管機構達成和解。

A little-known cryptocurrency that is at the center of a key legal fight for the industry is leading the latest rally in digital assets amid speculation that the company behind it may soon reach a settlement with US regulators.

一種鮮為人知的加密貨幣處於該行業關鍵法律鬥爭的中心，正在引領數位資產的最新反彈，人們猜測背後的公司可能很快就會與美國監管機構達成和解。

XRP has jumped almost 40% in the past week to around 60 cents, while market bellwether bitcoin is up around 12% during the same period. Cryptocurrencies have rallied in part this week on expectations that Donald Trump will be more amiable to the sector if he wins the US presidential election.

XRP 在過去一周上漲了近 40% 至 60 美分左右，而市場領頭羊比特幣同期上漲了 12% 左右。加密貨幣本週上漲，部分原因是人們預期唐納德·川普如果贏得美國總統大選，將對該行業更加友好。

“I can’t comment on that specifically,” Ripple Labs Chief Executive Officer Brad Garlinghouse said Wednesday during an interview on Bloomberg Television, when asked about possible settlement talks with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

當被問及與美國證券交易委員會可能進行的和解談判時，Ripple Labs 執行長布拉德·加林豪斯(Brad Garlinghouse) 週三在接受彭博電視台採訪時表示：「我無法具體對此發表評論。

“Suffice to say, that the ruling has been clear from the judge,” Garlinghouse said. “We expect resolution very soon, but can’t predict when the judge will rule there.”

加林豪斯說：“可以說，法官的裁決已經很明確了。” “我們預計很快就會得到解決，但無法預測法官何時會做出裁決。”

The SEC sued Ripple Labs in 2020, claiming the firm broke its rules when it raised money by selling the digital token without registering it as a security. The case is being closely watched because of its implications for the scope of the SEC’s turf. In what’s been seen by many as a loss for the agency’s jurisdiction, a US District Judge ruled last July that sales of XRP to retail investors on exchanges didn’t amount to investment contracts.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 於 2020 年起訴 Ripple Labs，聲稱該公司在未將其註冊為證券的情況下透過出售數位代幣籌集資金，違反了規定。該案因其對 SEC 職權範圍的影響而受到密切關注。去年 7 月，美國地區法官裁定，在交易所向散戶投資者出售 XRP 不構成投資合同，許多人認為該機構管轄權的損失。

Helping to fuel the conjecture among crypto advocates on social media is the listing of a “closed meeting” scheduled on the SEC’s website for July 18. An SEC spokesperson declined to comment.

SEC 網站上列出的定於 7 月 18 日舉行的“閉門會議”，助長了社交媒體上加密貨幣倡導者的猜想。

“Investors and traders are anticipating there will be a conclusion about the status of XRP tokens,” said Zaheer Ebtikar, founder of crypto fund Split Capital.“The entirety about XRP is anything attached to what the regulations will be.“

加密貨幣基金 Split Capital 創始人 Zaheer Ebtikar 表示：“投資者和交易員預計 XRP 代幣的狀況將會得出結論。有關 XRP 的全部內容都取決於法規的內容。”

Ripple Labs recently disclosed in a filling that it donated $1 million to a new super political action committee to help unseat anti-crypto Senator Elizabeth Warren and support John Deaton as Massachusetts’ next senator.

Ripple Labs 最近在一份填充文件中披露，它向一個新的超級政治行動委員會捐贈了100 萬美元，以幫助推翻反加密貨幣參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫(Elizabeth Warren)，並支持約翰·迪頓( John Deaton) 擔任麻薩諸塞州下一任參議員。

XRP is the sixth-largest cryptocurrency, with a market value of around $34 billion, according to data compiled by CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin is valued at about $1.3 trillion, accounting for about 50% of the crypto market, CoinMarketCap says.

根據 CoinMarketCap 編制的數據，XRP 是第六大加密貨幣，市值約 340 億美元。 CoinMarketCap 表示，比特幣的價值約為 1.3 兆美元，約佔加密貨幣市場的 50%。
