John Deaton, a prominent attorney representing 75,000 XRP holders, addressed the legal dispute between the SEC and Ripple on the 3T Warrior Academy YouTube channel. He characterized the SEC's litigation as an "unprecedented move" in securities law over the past 75 years, with significant implications for the crypto industry and XRP investors.
代表 75,000 個 XRP 持有者的著名律師 John Deaton 在 3T Warrior Academy YouTube 頻道上討論了 SEC 和 Ripple 之間的法律糾紛。他將 SEC 的訴訟描述為過去 75 年來證券法中的“前所未有的舉措”,對加密行業和 XRP 投資者產生了重大影響。
Deaton's Criticism of the SEC's Actions
迪頓對 SEC 行為的批評
Deaton strongly criticized the SEC's classification of XRP as a security, calling it an overreach. He argued that the SEC's actions have disproportionately impacted XRP holders, particularly retail investors who have lost billions in the market following the announcement of the lawsuit.
迪頓強烈批評 SEC 將 XRP 歸類為證券,稱其越權。他認為,SEC 的行動對 XRP 持有者產生了不成比例的影響,尤其是散戶投資者,他們在訴訟宣布後在市場上損失了數十億美元。
Deaton asserted that the SEC's actions resulted in a $15B loss in value for XRP, harming numerous retail investors. The case, filed in late 2020, led to the delisting of XRP from exchanges, further exacerbating the situation for token holders.
Deaton 聲稱 SEC 的行為導致 XRP 價值損失 15B 美元,損害了眾多散戶投資者的利益。該案件於 2020 年底提起,導致 XRP 從交易所下架,進一步加劇了代幣持有者的處境。
Despite these challenges, Ripple has recently achieved a partial victory, with the court ruling that XRP itself is not a security. However, the lawsuit has had significant financial and reputational implications for Ripple and the broader crypto market.
儘管面臨這些挑戰,Ripple 最近還是取得了部分勝利,法院裁定 XRP 本身不是證券。然而,該訴訟對 Ripple 和更廣泛的加密市場產生了重大的財務和聲譽影響。
Financial Losses and Legal Costs
財務損失和法律費用
Deaton highlighted the financial repercussions of the lawsuit for Ripple and its investors. Ripple has incurred over $100M in legal expenses defending itself against the SEC's allegations.
迪頓強調了訴訟對 Ripple 及其投資者的財務影響。 Ripple 為針對 SEC 的指控進行辯護而花費了超過 1 億美元的法律費用。
According to Deaton, the SEC has been unwilling to acknowledge mistakes or retract the designation of XRP as a security. He believes that XRP holders should be compensated for their losses directly attributable to the SEC's actions.
迪頓表示,美國證券交易委員會一直不願承認錯誤或撤銷將 XRP 作為證券的指定。他認為,XRP 持有者因 SEC 的行為直接造成的損失應該得到賠償。
Government Overreach
政府越權
Beyond the Ripple lawsuit, Deaton discussed the broader implications of government overreach in the financial sector, particularly with regard to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
除了 Ripple 訴訟之外,迪頓還討論了政府在金融領域過度幹預的更廣泛影響,特別是在中央銀行數位貨幣(CBDC)方面。
He cautioned that increased government control over digital assets could pose a threat to individual financial freedom. Deaton expressed concern about the potential consequences of government-controlled currencies and advocated for clear regulations to prevent similar lawsuits in the future.
他警告說,政府加強對數位資產的控制可能會對個人財務自由構成威脅。迪頓對政府控制貨幣的潛在後果表示擔憂,並主張明確的法規,以防止未來出現類似訴訟。
Need for Clear Legislation
需要明確的立法
Deaton also emphasized the need for clear and comprehensive legislation regarding cryptocurrencies and digital assets. He suggested that Congress should have acted sooner to provide regulatory certainty, which has stifled innovation in the U.S. crypto market.
迪頓也強調需要就加密貨幣和數位資產制定明確而全面的立法。他建議國會應該更早採取行動,提供監管確定性,這抑制了美國加密市場的創新。
