Ripple Labs同意解决SEC诉讼，同意支付5000万美元的罚款

Ripple Labs将定下与SEC的长期法律斗争，同意对原始$ 1.25亿美元的罚款进行5000万美元的罚款。

Ripple Labs is set to settle its long-running legal battle with the SEC, agreeing to a revised $50 million penalty—down from the original $125 million, and the SEC will return $75 million, pending final court and commissioner approval, according to a joint statement filed on Wednesday.

根据周三提交的联合声明，《 Ripple Labs》将定居与SEC的长期法律斗争，同意对原始$ 1.25亿美元的罚款进行修订的5,000万美元罚款，而SEC将返还7500万美元，待定最终法院和专员批准。

The move follows the SEC dropping its appeal of a 2023 ruling that found Ripple’s XRP retail sales didn’t violate securities laws, though institutional sales did.

此举是在SEC删除了2023年的一项裁决的上诉，该裁决发现Ripple的XRP零售销售并未违反证券法，尽管机构销售确实如此。

The agency also plans to lift the injunction currently in place.

该机构还计划取消目前的禁令。

Ripple will also withdraw its own cross-appeal.

Ripple还将撤回自己的交叉上诉。

The regulatory clarity has sparked discussion about potential future XRP-based exchange-traded products (ETPs), with Nicolai Søndergaard, a research analyst at blockchain analytics firm Nansen, noting: "There is a higher chance of success for XRP futures or spot ETFs now."

监管清晰度引发了人们对潜在的基于XRP的交易所交易所产品（ETP）的讨论，与区块链分析公司Nansen的研究分析师NicolaiSøndergaard引发了讨论：“现在，XRP期货或现场ETF的成功机会更高。”

However, analysts remain skeptical about XRP's upside in the context of the current stablecoin enthusiasm, particularly with Ripple's planned RLUSD stablecoin still awaiting broader adoption.

但是，在当前的Stablecoin热情的背景下，分析师仍然对XRP的上升空间持怀疑态度，尤其是随着Ripple计划的RLUSD Stablecoin仍在等待更广泛的采用。

"The XRP token won't necessarily benefit from it as much as Ripple the company would," Søndergaard told Benzinga. "It wouldn't be surprising if people invest in XRP expecting gains, but that doesn't guarantee utility-based growth."

Søndergaard告诉Benzinga：“ XRP代币不一定会从中受益。” “如果人们投资于XRP期望收益，但这并不能保证基于公用事业的增长，这并不奇怪。”

Patrick Young, Head of GTM at Web3 platform Galxe, had a similar take.

Web3平台Galxe的GTM负责人Patrick Young也有类似的看法。

"The current stablecoin bull market is no more than a few headlines around some sensational launches," he told Benzinga. "XRP has utility as an institutional tool, but the trend around stablecoins may be entirely irrelevant to it."

他告诉Benzinga：“目前的Stablecoin牛市不超过一些轰动性发射的头条新闻。” “ XRP具有实用性作为一种机构工具，但稳定币的趋势可能完全与之无关。”

Despite a spike in price following the resolution of the SEC lawsuit, XRP has since struggled to build momentum.

尽管SEC诉讼解决后，价格激增，但XRP此后一直在努力建立动力。

Young noted the token has remained "range-bound between $2.58 and $1.94," with decreasing volume and limited catalysts for near-term rallies.

Young指出，该令牌仍然“限制在2.58美元至1.94美元之间”，量减少了近期集会的量和有限的催化剂。

Meanwhile, Jean Rausis, co-founder of DeFi platform SMARDEX, offered a critical view, noting that XRP's growth has little to do with the values underpinned by the broader decentralized movement.

同时，Defi Platform Smardex的联合创始人Jean Rausis提出了一个批判性的观点，并指出XRP的增长与更广泛的分散运动所基于的价值无关。

"XRP is a centralized, pre-mined token, operated by Ripple validators… a financial tool for banks — not a symbol of decentralization," he said.

他说：“ XRP是一个集中的，预先开采的令牌，由波纹验证者……是银行的财务工具，而不是权力下放的象征。”

He went further, comparing XRP's market appeal to fast food: "Seeing the market capitalization of XRP increase is like watching a fast-food chain make more money than a Michelin-starred restaurant… it says nothing about quality or innovation."

他走得更远，将XRP的市场吸引力与快餐店进行了比较：“看到XRP增长的市值就像看着快餐连锁店比米其林星级餐厅赚更多的钱……它没有说明质量或创新。”

As the SEC's softened stance on Ripple may boost investor sentiment, the analysts opine that XRP's future will be defined more by institutional utility than by retail-driven stablecoin hype.

由于SEC对Ripple的柔和立场可能会促进投资者的情绪，因此分析师认为，XRP的未来将通过机构效用比零售驱动的Stablecoin Hype更加定义。
