XRP一度暴涨超20%,Ripple对SEC诉讼的又一次阶段性胜利

CoinGecko 行情显示,今日早些时候,XRP 在 0.5 美元附近价格突然开始迅速上涨,一度突破 0.62 美元,短时涨幅超 20%,目前暂报 0.607 美元,市值为 33,894,393,759 美元,排在加密货币第 7 名。并且显而易见的是,尽管过去几天比特币价格出现大幅回调,甚至一度跌破 49000 美元,但 XRP 相对于其他加密货币表现更为坚挺,随着比特币的反弹,其价格也有了不错的回升。那么,究竟是什么原因导致了今天 XRP 价格如此迅速地上涨呢?

原来,这次 XRP 价格的暴涨是在“美法官裁定 Ripple 向散户销售 XRP 未违反联邦证券法”后,Ripple 对 SEC 诉讼的又一次胜利。今日凌晨,Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse 在 X 发文表示:“SEC 要求我们支付 20 亿美元,法院认识到他们‘要价过高’,将其要求减少了约 94%。我们尊重法院的裁决,并明确继续发展我们的公司。这是 Ripple、行业和法治的胜利,SEC 对整个 XRP 社区的阻力已经消失。”

Ripple CEO:法官将 SEC 的罚款要求减少约 94%

法官裁定 SEC 对 XRP 的罚款要求减少约 94%使 SEC 在 XRP 社区中的阻力大幅减少,无论是Ripple 本身还是整个加密行业都是一件“大快人心”的事,本次法官的裁定结果也让 SEC 对 Ripple “漫长”的诉讼暂时告一段落。下面,Odaily星球日报带大家回顾 SEC 对 Ripple 诉讼中 Ripple 是如何一步步取得胜利。

漫长的诉讼:SEC 声称 Ripple 违规发行未经注册的证券

早在 2020 年 12 月 21 日,美国 SEC 就开始了对 Ripple Labs 的诉讼,声称 Ripple 违规发行未经注册的证券。此消息发布后,XRP 价格直接腰斩,从 0.58 美元跌至 0.21 美元,屋漏偏逢连夜雨,或受 SEC 诉讼消息影响,加密交易所 Coinbase 下架 XRP。至此 SEC 与 Ripple 之间的诉讼正式来开帷幕。

与此同时,Ripple CEOBrad Garlinghouse 否认了 SEC 的指控,并表示公司将拿起法律武器。之后,Brad Garlinghouse对 SEC 的做法提出质疑,认为该机构并未就将 XRP 归类为证券向他们发出公平通知。他们在给法院的信中表示,SEC 未能为加密公司提供明确的指导。

用法律手段反抗取到了一定效果,在 SEC 要求法官 Sarah Netburn 举行听证会上,Netburn 法官裁定 XRP 具有价值和实用性,这将其与比特币等加密货币区分开来。此次裁决意义重大,因为它强调了加密货币之间的法律差异,并为未来的资产分类和执法行动铺平了道路。

取得阶段性成功:XRP 本身不是证券

时间转眼来到 2023 年,自从 SEC 对其提起诉讼以来,Ripple 一直在全力应对这场官司。在 2023 年下半年,Brad Garlinghouse 就曾表示,公司已支付超过 2 亿美元的法律费用,并且假如 SEC 的诉讼最终上诉到最高法院,Ripple 也会与 SEC 抗争到底。

功夫不负有心人,同年 10 月 20 日,Ripple 宣布,美 SEC 已撤销对其首席执行官 Brad Garlinghouse 和执行主席 Chris Larsen 的所有指控。此前 Ripple 有两次成功,包括 2023 年 7 月的法院裁决宣布“XRP 本身不是证券”,以及 10 月的联邦法官决定驳回 SEC 的上诉请求。此消息发布后,XRP 24 小时上涨 7%。

但或许目前还不是真正庆祝的时候,加密分析师 Phyrex 于 X 平台发文表示:“首先需要明确的是,这项驳回是在双方都同意的情况下,由 SEC 申请的,也即是说 SEC 驳回了自己的申请……认为这就是 Ripple 的全面获胜,其实这并不对的,这仅仅是 SEC 放弃了对两位高管的起诉,该罚款还是要罚款的。”

再次取得阶段性成功:法官裁定 SEC 对 XRP 的罚款要求减少约 94% 

SEC 对 Ripple 的诉讼虽在“XRP 本身不是证券”上取得胜利,但巨额的罚款诉讼仍在进行。2024 年 3 月,美国 SEC 计划要求法官对 Ripple Labs 处以 20 亿美元罚款。Ripple 首席法律官 Stuart Alderoty 表示,Ripple 的回应将于下个月提交,但正如之前看到的那样,SEC 所发布的声明是虚假的、错误描述的和旨在误导的,SEC 并没有忠实地执行法律,而是一心想要惩罚和恐吓 Ripple 以及整个行业。

同年 5 月,据外媒报道,美国 SEC 在 5 月 7 日的修订救济措施回复简报中,将 Ripple 拟议稳定币描述为“未注册的加密资产”,并进一步证明,如果没有针对该公司的永久禁令,其将继续从事不受监管的活动。同时,SEC 还坚持要对 Ripple 寻求处以近 20 亿美元的重罚,以阻止该公司和其他效仿者。

但随后,Ripple 在一份“补充权威通知”中表示,监管机构提议的财务罚款不合理。该公司将 SEC 提议对其出售 XRP 给机构投资者的罚款 20 亿美元与对 Terraform Labs 的罚款进行了比较,认为其罚款应接近 1000 万美元

美 SEC 反驳了 Ripple Labs 最近提出的降低罚款的主张,并称其与 Terraform 案“没有可比性”。美 SEC 在致 Torres 法官的信中辩称,其与 Terraform 及其联合创始人 Do Kwon 达成的 45 亿美元和解包括 4.2 亿美元的民事罚款,是在该公司破产、同意向投资者返还资金并解雇“当时负责违规行为”高管的情况下达成的。SEC 表示,Ripple 认为 Terraform 的 4.2 亿美元民事罚款约为其“ 330 亿美元总销售额”的 1.27% ,但两者并不能相提并论,其补充说,它根据“违规行为的毛利润”来衡量 Terraform 的罚款,估计该罚款超过 35 亿美元,比例接近 12% 。其还认为,如果 Ripple 要求适用同样的比例,那么其民事罚款将达到 1.026 亿美元,“如此低的罚款不符合民事处罚法规的目的”。

直到今日,法官裁定 SEC 对 XRP 的罚款要求减少约 94% 使 SEC 在 XRP 社区中的阻力大幅减少,可以说是 Ripple 在与 SEC 漫长的诉讼中又一次胜利。或许,SEC 会再次提出诉讼反对罚款的大幅度减少,但不得不承认 Ripple 在对抗美 SEC 上作出了巨大贡献。

When the World Cup Collides with Agents: From Web2 to Web3, How Are Wallets Evolving into Agentic Wallets?

World Cup as a Catalyst for Agentic Wallets: From Web2 to Web3 This article explores how the World Cup provides a real-world scenario for observing the evolution of digital wallets from simple asset managers towards "Agentic Wallets"—intelligent, AI-powered interfaces. Using the example of prediction markets like Polymarket, it illustrates how AI Agents can lower the barrier to Web3 interaction. Instead of navigating complex DApps, users can express intent in natural language (e.g., "I think Portugal will win") within platforms like Discord or web pages. The Agent then interprets this intent, finds the relevant market, and seamlessly guides the user through the on-chain transaction via their wallet. The core shift is from wallets as mere "function menus" for signing transactions to "intent interpreters" that understand user goals. The article highlights parallel developments in traditional finance, such as Mastercard's "Agent Pay" and WeChat Pay's AI tests, which focus on granting AI controlled, authorized, and auditable payment capabilities. This underscores a broader trend of AI entering the financial layer. However, the article emphasizes that the primary challenge for Agentic Wallets in Web3 is not automation but establishing clear security boundaries. Unlike traditional systems with chargebacks, on-chain transactions are often irreversible. Therefore, future wallets must ensure users retain ultimate control and comprehension. They need to transparently communicate an Agent's permissions, spending limits, authorized durations, and provide easy ways to pause or revoke access. The World Cup experiments represent early steps toward wallets that are not just applications but ubiquitous, intelligent interfaces that simplify Web3 while keeping users securely in control.

Options Don't Work in DeFi? Vitalik Might Not Agree

For years, the prevailing view has been that options struggle to gain traction in DeFi due to complexity, fragmented liquidity, and lack of natural demand compared to products like perpetual futures. However, a recent algorithmic stablecoin design proposed by Vitalik Buterin presents a different perspective, using options not as a standalone trading product, but as foundational infrastructure for other financial instruments. In this design, one unit of ETH is split into two components: a "stable" side (P) that retains value up to a specified strike price, and an "upside" side (N) that captures all appreciation above that strike. Combined, they always equal one ETH, eliminating debt, margin, and liquidation risks inherent in typical collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoins. The stable component essentially mimics the payoff of a covered call option. To function as a stablecoin, this structure requires continuously rolling deep in-the-money calls, which introduces challenges like rollover slippage, predictable transaction flow vulnerable to front-running, and persistent liquidity needs. A core hurdle is finding consistent buyers for the leveraged ETH upside exposure (N). While it offers leverage without funding rates or liquidation, it must compete with simpler alternatives like direct call options or perpetuals. The system's scalability depends on a sustained demand for this specific form of leverage. The author draws parallels to their experience with Rysk, where earlier versions of DeFi options protocols struggled. The breakthrough came with Rysk V12, which aligns incentives: asset holders generate yield by selling covered calls against their holdings, while market makers efficiently acquire the desired option exposure. This demonstrates that options can find product-market fit when embedded as a risk distribution and pricing engine within structured products, stablecoins, or yield-generating assets, rather than marketed as a complex direct trading instrument. Vitalik's proposal reinforces this architectural approach—using fully collateralized, non-custodial, and physically settled options as a fundamental building block. The real opportunity for options in DeFi may lie not in becoming the next perpetual swap, but in powering the next generation of on-chain financial products.

Conversation with Investor Zheng Di: MicroStrategy's Coin Sale Experiment, AI Economy, and Opportunities in US Stocks

Frontier tech investor Zheng "Didier" Di discusses the recent Bitcoin price drop, the financial strategy shift at MicroStrategy, the AI-driven surge in U.S. stocks, and the evolving role of crypto exchanges. Didier posits that the recent BTC decline stems less from macro factors or ETF outflows, and more from market repricing due to MicroStrategy's new financial structure. Following a wave of preferred stock and debt issuance (STRC, STRZ, etc.), MicroStrategy must now manage cash flow to pay dividends, potentially leading to a market expectation of sustained, small-scale BTC sales to maintain its "per-share bitcoin neutral" principle. Didier views this as a financial "experiment" testing market capacity for such recurring sell pressure, which, while creating near-term structural headwinds, likely avoids a true "death spiral" absent major new external shocks. Shifting to AI, Didier argues that tokens are becoming the new form of labor, with AI models and compute (tokenized inputs) increasingly replacing human roles in execution and middle-management. This drives enterprise efficiency and higher margins, fueling the sustained rally in U.S. semiconductor, data center, and infrastructure stocks. He foresees an emerging "machine economy" where automated agents transact and collaborate on-chain. Regarding crypto exchanges offering U.S. equities, Didier sees this as a natural evolution. With few crypto-native assets generating lasting value, exchanges are pivoting towards real-world assets (RWAs) like stocks and bonds. This doesn't necessarily cannibalize crypto but reflects a maturing industry focusing on blockchain's core utilities: decentralized choice and efficient settlement. He notes that trading logic for crypto natives doesn't need to drastically change, as meme-driven and fundamentalist strategies find analogs in U.S. markets. The "1011 event" (likely referring to a major market crash) severely damaged crypto market liquidity, marking a probable end to the altcoin speculative cycle, with capital flowing towards the deeper liquidity of U.S. markets. For the macro outlook, Didier is cautious about near-term market pressure from potential mega-IPOs (e.g., SpaceX) and the U.S. midterm elections, which could bring more regulatory scrutiny. Long-term, he remains bullish on AI's productivity gains and its convergence with blockchain/Web3, predicting a shift from speculative frenzy to a more institutionalized, industrial phase for the crypto sector.
