XRP案件中的SEC和Ripple文件最终解决 - 现在所有人都关注托雷斯法官

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）于5月8日发布了诉讼发布，宣布与Ripple Labs Inc.，首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse和联合创始人Chris Larsen宣布和解协议，以解决其长期运行的民事执法案件。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a final settlement agreement with Ripple in their ongoing legal battle, signaling a pivotal moment that could finally unleash XRP’s momentum and reshape crypto regulation forever.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）在其正在进行的法律斗争中与Ripple提出了最终的和解协议，这表明了一个关键时刻，最终可以永远释放XRP的势头并永远释放Crypto Crypto法规。

The apex court today announced a pending settlement to resolve its civil enforcement case against Ripple Labs Inc., CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and co-founder Chris Larsen for allegedly selling XRP tokens in an unregistered securities offering.

最高法院今天宣布了一项待定的和解，以解决其针对Ripple Labs Inc.，首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse和联合创始人Chris Larsen的民事执法案件，原因是据称在未注册的证券产品中出售XRP代币。

The joint filing requests an indication from the court on whether it would ultimately dissolve a previously issued injunction and unlock escrowed penalty funds.

联合申请要求法院向法院提出指示，以最终解散先前发布的禁令并解锁施加罚款资金。

Out of the $125,035,150 held in escrow under the court’s Aug. 7, 2024, final judgment, $50 million would go to the SEC and the remaining balance would be returned to Ripple.

在法院在2024年8月7日在托管中持有的125,035,150美元中，最终判决将转移到SEC，其余余额将退还给Ripple。

This arrangement would proceed only if the court provides an indication that it would dissolve the injunction and permit the release of funds.

仅当法院提供迹象表明该禁令并允许释放资金时，才能进行此安排。

If such a ruling is made, both the SEC and Ripple intend to seek a limited remand to the district court so it can formally issue the requested relief. Once granted, both parties would move to terminate their ongoing appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

如果做出这样的裁决，SEC和Ripple都打算向地方法院寻求有限的还押，以便可以正式签发要求的救济。一旦被授予，双方都将在美国第二巡回上诉法院终止其正在进行的上诉。

The SEC stated that the settlement reflects its strategic regulatory goals rather than an assessment of the lawsuit’s merits.

SEC指出，和解反映了其战略监管目标，而不是评估诉讼的优点。

“The Commission’s decision to exercise its discretion and seek a resolution of this pending enforcement action rests on its judgment that such resolution will facilitate the Commission’s ongoing efforts to reform and renew its regulatory approach to the crypto industry, not on any assessment of the merits of the claims alleged in the action,” the agency said.

该机构说：“委员会决定行使酌处权并寻求解决这一未决的执法行动的决定取决于其判断，即该决议将促进委员会正在进行的改革和更新其对加密货币行业的监管方法，而不是对诉讼中要求的索赔优点进行任何评估。”

It further clarified, “The Commission’s decision to resolve this enforcement action does not necessarily reflect the Commission’s position on any other case.”

它进一步澄清了：“委员会决定解决这一执法行动的决定并不一定反映了委员会在任何其他案件上的立场。”

While the SEC has officially announced the settlement with Ripple in a Litigation Release, members of the crypto industry had already anticipated this move after Garlinghouse disclosed the agency’s plan to drop the case over XRP sales on social media.

尽管SEC在诉讼发布中正式宣布了与Ripple的和解协议，但加密货币行业的成员已经预料到了这一举动，因为Garlinghouse透露该机构计划在社交媒体上删除XRP销售的计划。

Since Gary Gensler’s departure from the SEC in January, the agency has taken a more crypto-friendly turn under new Chair Paul Atkins. It has paused or dropped several pending enforcement actions against crypto firms and launched public roundtables to engage with the industry.

自从加里·加斯勒（Gary Gensler）于1月份离开美国证券交易委员会（SEC）以来，该机构在新主席保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）的带领下进行了更加加密友好的转折。它暂停或放弃了针对加密货币公司的几项未决执法行动，并推出了公共圆桌会议以与该行业互动。

This marks a shift from Gensler’s approach of aggressive regulation by enforcement to one focused on clear and innovation-friendly regulation.

这标志着从加斯勒通过执法的积极监管方法转变为专注于清晰且对创新友好的监管的转变。

Attorney James K. Filan, a prominent legal analyst who has been closely following the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple over XRP, shared this significant update on the social media platform X, stating, “The SEC has filed the Settlement Agreement Letter.”

著名的法律分析师詹姆斯·K·菲兰（James K. Filan）律师在SEC对XRP上针对Ripple的诉讼中紧密遵守，他在社交媒体平台上分享了这一重大更新，并指出：“ SEC已提交了和解协议信。”

He further broke down the procedural roadmap, explaining the sequential steps that must occur before the case is officially over.

他进一步打破了程序路线图，并解释了案件正式结束之前必须发生的顺序步骤。

First, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres must issue an indication of whether she would dissolve the injunction and approve the release of the escrowed funds, allocating $50 million to the SEC and the remainder to Ripple.

首先，美国地方法院法官Analisa Torres必须提出迹象表明她是否会解散禁令并批准释放托管资金，向SEC分配5000万美元，其余部分则将其分配给Ripple。

If Judge Torres indicates that she would grant that relief, the parties will then jointly request the Second Circuit to return the case to her courtroom for limited action.

如果托雷斯法官表示她将予以救济，那么当事各方将共同要求第二巡回法院将案件归还给她的法庭采取有限行动。

Upon the remand being granted, the SEC and Ripple would file a motion formally requesting the relief they seek.

授予还款后，SEC和Ripple将提出一项动议，要求他们寻求救济。

Filan concluded, “After the injunction is dissolved and the funds distributed, the SEC and Ripple will ask the Court of Appeals to dismiss the SEC’s appeal and Ripple’s cross-appeal. Then it will be over.”

Filan得出结论：“禁令解散并分配资金后，SEC和Ripple将要求上诉法院驳回SEC的上诉和Ripple的交叉诉讼。然后将结束。”
