随着 Ripple 实验室可能与 SEC 达成和解的猜测不断增加，XRP 飙升

（彭博社）——一种鲜为人知的加密货币处于该行业关键法律斗争的中心，正在引领数字资产的最新反弹，人们猜测其背后的公司可能很快会与美国监管机构达成和解。

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.

一种鲜为人知的加密货币处于该行业关键法律斗争的中心，正在引领数字资产的最新反弹，人们猜测其背后的公司可能很快会与美国监管机构达成和解。

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 在过去一周上涨了近 40% 至 60 美分左右，而市场领头羊比特币同期上涨了 12% 左右。加密货币本周上涨，部分原因是人们预期唐纳德·特朗普如果赢得美国总统大选，将对该行业更加友好。

“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.

当被问及与美国证券交易委员会可能进行的和解谈判时，Ripple Labs 首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 周三在接受彭博电视台采访时表示：“我无法对此具体发表评论。”

“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.”

加林豪斯说：“可以说，法官的裁决已经很明确了。” “我们预计很快就会得到解决，但无法预测法官何时会做出裁决。”

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.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 于 2020 年起诉 Ripple Labs，声称该公司在未将其注册为证券的情况下通过出售数字代币筹集资金，违反了规定。该案因其对 SEC 职权范围的影响而受到密切关注。去年 7 月，美国地区法官裁定，在交易所向散户投资者出售 XRP 不构成投资合同，许多人认为该机构管辖权的损失。

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 网站上列出的定于 7 月 18 日举行的“闭门会议”，助长了社交媒体上加密货币倡导者的猜想。SEC 发言人拒绝发表评论。

“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.“

加密货币基金 Split Capital 创始人 Zaheer Ebtikar 表示：“投资者和交易员预计 XRP 代币的状况将会得出结论。有关 XRP 的全部内容都取决于法规的内容。”

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，它向一个新的超级政治行动委员会捐赠了 100 万美元，以帮助推翻反加密货币参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦 (Elizabeth Warren)，并支持约翰·迪顿 (John Deaton) 担任马萨诸塞州下一任参议员。

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.

根据 CoinMarketCap 编制的数据，XRP 是第六大加密货币，市值约为 340 亿美元。 CoinMarketCap 表示，比特币的价值约为 1.3 万亿美元，约占加密货币市场的 50%。
