SEC 上诉法院裁决后，XRP 暴跌 11%

（彭博社）——XRP 是一种加密货币，一直是其发行人与 SEC 之间长期法律纠纷的焦点，其跌幅高达 11%

The price of XRP, a cryptocurrency that has been at the center of a legal battle between its issuer and the SEC, fell as much as 11% on Thursday after the agency appealed an earlier court ruling that was seen as favorable for the company.

XRP 是一种加密货币，一直是其发行人与 SEC 之间法律斗争的核心，在该机构对早些时候被认为对该公司有利的法院裁决提出上诉后，其价格周四下跌了 11%。

The SEC sued Ripple Labs Inc in 2020, alleging that the San Francisco-based company broke the law when it raised money by selling the digital token without registering it as a security. Last year, US District Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP was only covered by securities law when sold to institutional investors, a decision that was hailed as a major victory for the industry.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 于 2020 年起诉 Ripple Labs Inc，指控这家总部位于旧金山的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，从而违反了法律。去年，美国地区法官 Analisa Torres 裁定 XRP 只有在出售给机构投资者时才受到证券法的管辖，这一决定被誉为该行业的重大胜利。

On Wednesday, the SEC filed an appeal of the court decision, which also ordered Ripple to pay a $125 million civil penalty for improperly selling XRP, a fraction of the $2 billion the regulator had sought.

周三，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 对法院判决提出上诉，该判决还要求 Ripple 因不当出售 XRP 支付 1.25 亿美元民事罚款，而这只是监管机构要求的 20 亿美元罚款的一小部分。

The appeal came a day after Bitwise Asset Management Inc became the first to file with the SEC for an exchange traded fund that would invest directly in XRP, the world’s seventh-largest digital token.

就在一天前，Bitwise 资产管理公司成为第一家向美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 申请设立直接投资全球第七大数字代币 XRP 的交易所交易基金的公司。

“There was anticipation that the XRP ETFs were gonna happen and a lot of traders were positioning ahead of the event,” said Zaheer Ebtikar, founder of crypto fund Split Capital. “A lot of long positions on XRP in the futures market got wiped out in the past 24 hours. People are kind of unwinding their positions now.”

加密货币基金 Split Capital 创始人 Zaheer Ebtikar 表示：“人们预计 XRP ETF 将会出现，许多交易者都在该事件发生之前进行了建仓。” “过去 24 小时内，期货市场上的大量 XRP 多头头寸被清空。人们现在正在解除仓位。”

XRP fell as low as 51 cents on Thursday, before recently trading at about 52 cents. It has slumped almost 20% over the past four trading sessions. The token has a market value of roughly $29 billion, according to data compiled by CoinMarketCap.

XRP 周四跌至 51 美分，最近交易价格约为 52 美分。在过去四个交易日中，该股已下跌近 20%。根据 CoinMarketCap 编制的数据，该代币的市值约为 290 亿美元。
