XRP价格在法律清晰度之后突破

长期以来从2020年12月开始的法律纠纷终于结束了，波纹同意支付5000万美元的罚款

The long-running legal dispute between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple has finally come to an end.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）和Ripple之间的长期法律纠纷终于结束了。

According to a statement released Friday, the SEC will be returning $75 million of previously escrowed funds to Ripple and the two parties have agreed on a reduced penalty of $50 million.

根据周五发布的一份声明，SEC将向波纹返还7500万美元先前的资金，两方已同意减少5000万美元的罚款。

The SEC initially proposed a $125 million penalty, but this has now been cut in half. The case began in December 2020, when the SEC sued Ripple for allegedly raising more than $1.3 billion in unregistered securities offerings through the sales of XRP.

SEC最初提议罚款1.25亿美元，但现在已减少了一半。该案始于2020年12月，当时SEC涉嫌通过XRP的销售筹集了超过13亿美元的未注册证券产品。

Later, the court ruled that while Ripple’s programmatic exchange sales were not covered by federal securities law, its direct institutional sales of XRP did violate the law.

后来，法院裁定，尽管Ripple的程序交易所销售未涵盖联邦证券法，但其直接的XRP机构销售确实违反了该法律。

This case has been closely followed by the cryptocurrency community, as the outcome could have implications for the regulatory landscape of digital assets.

加密货币社区紧随其后，因为结果可能对数字资产的监管格局产生影响。

In a statement, SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw expressed her dissent from the settlement, criticizing it for “a tremendous disservice to the investing public and undermines the court’s role in interpreting our securities laws.”

SEC专员卡罗琳·克伦肖（Caroline Crenshaw）在一份声明中表达了她对和解的反对意见，并批评了“对投资公众的巨大损害，并破坏了法院在解释我们的证券法中的作用。”

Crenshaw argued that the SEC dropped its claims on programmatic sales “despite an abundance of evidence that these sales implicate federal securities law.”

克伦肖（Crenshaw）辩称，SEC删除了对程序销售的主张，“尽管有很多证据表明这些销售暗示了联邦证券法。”

“The agency also failed to pursue claims that should have been brought against an institutional seller in a third country who was not authorized to sell XRP in the U.S. but nevertheless engaged in widespread solicitations with U.S. investors,” she added.

她补充说：“该机构还没有提出应该针对第三国的机构卖方提出的索赔，该机构卖方被授权在美国出售XRP，但仍与美国投资者进行广泛招标。”

However, the agreement does bring an end to one of the most heavily tracked crypto cases and provides some clarity on the regulatory status of XRP.

但是，该协议确实结束了最严重的加密案件之一，并对XRP的监管状况提供了一些清晰的信息。

Earlier this week, crypto analyst Aayush Jindal noted that XRP price remained supported above the $2.12 level and started a fresh upward wave.

本周早些时候，加密分析师Aayush Jindal指出，XRP价格仍然超过2.12美元，并开始了新的向上浪潮。

According to Jindal, the price might face resistance near the $2.350 level. A clear move above that could open the door for a rally toward $2.50 or even $2.63.

根据金德尔的说法，价格可能面临2.350美元的电阻。明确的举动上方可以打开集会的大门，直达2.50美元甚至2.63美元。

Technical indicators suggest that the cryptocurrency is heading toward a breakout. Currently, XRP is trading above the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average, with strong support forming around the $2.30 level.

技术指标表明，加密货币正朝向突破。目前，XRP的交易高于100小时的简单移动平均线，强大的支持形成了2.30美元的水平。

If the bulls manage to maintain momentum, traders anticipate a possible breakout beyond the $2.42 and $2.50 resistance levels.

如果公牛设法保持动力，交易者预计可能会出现超出2.42美元和2.50美元的电阻水平的突破。

Furthermore, data from Glassnode reveals that whales have been accumulating significant amounts of XRP. Over the past 30 days alone, whales have bought approximately $2 billion worth of XRP.

此外，玻璃节数据的数据表明，鲸鱼已经积累了大量的XRP。仅在过去的30天中，鲸鱼就购买了价值约20亿美元的XRP。

This uptick in whale buying is reflective of increasing confidence in the medium-term future of XRP, especially as regulatory concerns ease.

鲸鱼购买的这种上升反映了对XRP中期未来的信心的增加，尤其是在监管方面的问题上。

However, analysts advise against excessive optimism just yet. Despite recent gains, XRP’s year-to-date gain remains modest, at just 1%.

但是，分析师暂时建议不要过度乐观。尽管最近有所收获，但XRP的年初收益仍然适中，仅为1％。

Moreover, whales offloaded 370 million XRP in early April, highlighting the ongoing volatility in the cryptocurrency market.

此外，鲸鱼在4月初卸载了3.7亿XRP，强调了加密货币市场的持续波动。

Nevertheless, the recent accumulation appears to signal that big players expect XRP’s value to stabilize before another leg up.

尽管如此，最近的积累似乎表明，大玩家期望XRP的价值在另一个腿上稳定下来。

The question of whether this will translate into sustained bullish momentum depends largely on broader market conditions and Ripple’s next moves.

这是否会转化为持续的看涨势头的问题在很大程度上取决于更广泛的市场状况和Ripple的下一步行动。

After a long-running lawsuit with the SEC, blockchain startup Ripple is now positioning itself for aggressive growth, beginning with the acquisition of brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.22 billion.

在与SEC进行了长期诉讼之后，区块链初创公司Ripple现在正在为积极的增长定位，从收购经纪公司Hidden Road的收购为12.2亿美元。

The company is also reportedly exploring other acquisition targets, having made a $5 billion proposal to buy stablecoin issuer Circle earlier this year.

据报道，该公司还在今年早些时候提出了50亿美元购买Stablecoin发行人圈子的建议，并正在探索其他收购目标。

Plans for domestic and international expansion are also in the works, according to Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple.

Ripple首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）表示，国内和国际扩张计划也正在制作。

“Despite the lawsuit, Ripple has continued to innovate, expand, and build trust with financial institutions. We are now seeing the broader crypto industry take notice of the work we’ve done to create an efficient and reliable cross-border payment solution,” Garlinghouse said in a March announcement confirming the case’s conclusion.

加林豪斯在3月的宣布中说：“尽管诉讼仍在与金融机构进行创新，扩展和建立信任。现在，我们正在看到更广泛的加密货币行业注意到我们为创建有效且可靠的跨境支付解决方案所做的工作。”

The ruling provides clarity on the regulatory status of XRP and could aid Ripple in pushing for an XRP ETF and increase adoption of Ripple’s enterprise solutions.

该裁决可清楚地了解XRP的监管状况，并可以帮助Ripple推动XRP ETF并增加对Ripple企业解决方案的采用。

Some believe that the court’s partial ruling in Ripple’s favor strengthens the argument that XRP is a commodity rather than a security—potentially opening new regulatory doors.

一些人认为，法院对Ripple的部分裁决加强了这样一种论点，即XRP是一种商品而不是安全性 - 有潜在的打开新的监管门。

With the suit now settled and $75 million being returned, Ripple has more capital to invest now. This can spur new projects on the Ripple ledger network and lead to increased usage of XRP on Ripple exchanges.

随着该诉讼现已解决，返回了7500万美元，Ripple现在有更多的资本可以投资。这可能会刺激Ripple Ledger网络上的新项目，并导致XRP在Ripple交流中的使用增加。

After several years of legal battles, the cryptocurrency sector will be closely watching how this case unfolds and what implications it may have for the broader crypto landscape.

经过数年的法律斗争，加密货币部门将密切关注该案件的发展以及它对更广泛的加密景观的影响。
