SEC曾经非常担心如果Ripple“消失”会发生什么

根据Coinbase通过《信息自由法》（FOIA）的要求，SEC官员正在积极辩论2021年各种加密资产的稳定性和安全分类。

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.

根据Coinbase的新发布的文件（FOIA），美国证券交易委员会（SEC）官员（SEC）官员非常担心Crypto Asset XRP的未来，以防该公司“走开”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.

文件显示，SEC官员在2021年对各种加密资产进行了稳定和安全阶级，XRP非常关注他们的雷达。

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.

在一封内部电子邮件中，SEC官员质疑如果XRP背后的公司突然“走开”或“消失”，可能会发生什么。

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

该机构似乎担心在这种情况下，XRP区块链可能会出现哪些风险。

"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.

“如果他们走开或消失了，资产的稳定和安全阶层是否会有问题吗？或者这仅是对集中式公司而不是基础资产类别本身的问题？”一封电子邮件读取。

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.

当时，SEC已经开始针对Ripple的重大诉讼，指控它是通过出售XRP作为未注册的安全性而非法运营的。

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.

尽管Ripple从那场战斗中取得了胜利（甚至赢得了以前支付的一些罚款），但这些新发现的电子邮件表明，监管机构对XRP网络本身的分散和韧性有多么不确定。

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.

在本周Coinbase的一系列广泛披露之中，启示录出来了，该披露是与该机构正在进行的法律僵局的一部分，发表了数十种与加密货币监督有关的SEC通讯。

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.

这不是SEC关于加密资产的首次审议。同一份文件转储还揭示了2023年，纽约州检察长在2023年正式要求SEC宣布以太坊的以太（ETH）为安全，这是最终被忽略的请求。
