Ripple vs. SEC: A Long-Running Saga

Ripple 与 SEC：一场旷日持久的传奇

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.

加密货币 XRP 背后的公司 Ripple 自 2020 年以来一直卷入与 SEC 的法律诉讼。监管机构对这家金融科技公司提起了 13 亿美元的诉讼，指控其以 XRP 的形式出售未注册的证券，而 XRP 现在是按市值计算第六大加密货币。

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，今年早些时候，Ripple 在对抗 SEC 时取得了部分胜利，当时法官裁定向散户投资者程序化销售 XRP 不符合证券资格。

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.

尽管法官还裁定价值 7.28 亿美元的代币机构销售合同确实构成未注册的证券销售，但 Ripple 及其支持者认为部分裁决是更广泛的加密行业的胜利。
