福克斯商业新闻记者 Eleanor Terrett 最近表示,美国 SEC 可能会对 2023 年Ripple的XRPmatic销售裁决提出上诉。她提到,这一猜测来自美国证券交易委员会的一位前律师,他认为上诉可能是由于该委员会认为裁决不正确而引起的。
据报道,美国SEC前律师还表示,该委员会认为法官Annalisa Torres去年7月的裁决不好,应该上诉。这些猜测是在美国 SEC 对XRP案件提出上诉的最后期限 10 月 7 日之前进行的。
托雷斯法官裁定XRPmatic销售未能满足 Howey 测试的第三个条件。法官随后裁定,交易所的XRP交易不违反美国证券法规。托雷斯仍然裁定Ripple向机构投资者直接销售违反了证券法。
随后,托雷斯法官在 2024 年 8 月做出最终判决后,批准了委员会对其裁决提出上诉的请求。美国证券交易委员会于 2023 年 8 月宣布针对法官的裁决提出中间上诉动议。该委员会特别提到了其对法官提出质疑的计划,称Ripple向散户投资者进行的程序matic销售违反了证券法规。
尽管上诉的可能性迫在眉睫, XRP的价格仍然稳定。过去 24 小时内上涨了 0.45%,截至撰写本文时交易价格为 0.587 美元。该币的 24 小时交易量也增长了 25% 以上,达到 12.49 亿美元。
当然,他们认为这个观点是错误的——他们是失败的一方。
美国证券交易委员会现在应该考虑的是上诉是否会进一步加强其投资者保护和资本形成的职责。为什么这不是首要考虑的事情?
更多证据表明美国证券交易委员会已经失去了阴谋。

An attorney at the law firm Hogan & Hogan, Jeremy Hogan, commented on Terrett’s tweet, saying that the U.S. SEC found the ruling wrong since the commission was on the losing side. Hogan insisted that the commission’s current stance should be pushing for investor protection and capital formation. The attorney also mentioned that the commission’s current focus shows that the U.S. SEC has lost its plot in crypto issues.
An investigative journalist also commented that the commission should only appeal the ruling if it believes Ripple was wrong. The journalist agreed with Hogan, mentioning that retail markets have less sophisticated investors who need protection.
The investigative journalist still mentioned that the commission could appeal the ruling because it dislikes it instead of Ripple being in the wrong. The journalist further cited U.S. SEC chair Gary Gensler’s quote that disliking a law differs from not understanding it.
The Chief Legal Officer at Ripple, Stuart Alderoty, spoke in August about the Ripple case, mentioning that the lawsuit was over. During his interview with Crypto Law U.S., Stuart mentioned that the ruling signified the finality of the case. He also highlighted the court’s continued rejection of the U.S. SEC’s overreach. Stuart divulged that the possibility of an appeal was low.
Attorney Jeremy Hogan also provided insight that the U.S. SEC has not made a decision to appeal yet. Another lawyer, Fred Rispoli, commented on the possibility of the appeal, saying that even in the case of one, the court would not make a ruling until 2026. Rispoli added that the commission’s recent charges against different exchanges and terming different tokens as securities lessened the severity of the U.S. SEC claims.
