美国证券交易委员会与总部位于旧金山的区块链技术创新者Ripple Labs Inc.之间的法律纠纷不断出现新的波折。
就在上周，Ripple 的律师约翰·E·迪顿 (John E. Deaton) 提交了一份请愿书，拒绝监管机构试图阻止该公司对 Amici Curiae 的反驳。
该公司在其立场上辩称，SEC 的立场违背了公众“在涉及广泛公共利益的情况下获得实质性法律论据的权利”。
这一次，焦点是美国证券交易委员会计划提起一项综合行动，以排除或限制 Ripple 和/或其被告、现任首席执行官布拉德加林豪斯和联合创始人克里斯蒂安拉森保留的最多 10 名分析师的证词。

专家认为，原告执意提出此动议是为了向公司的辩护团队施加压力，并排除就各种专家见证的主题进行初步和/或反报告。
一项综合动议中包含多项请求。法律动议允许当事方系统地提出或提出与案件相关的其他问题。
根据美国证券交易委员会的说法，被告已经同意这份不超过 120 页的综合报告，其中规定相同的长度限制适用于他们的反对答复。美国证券交易委员会也没有异议。
律师弗雷德·里斯波利 (Fred Rispoli) 谈到这一点的重要性时说：
“Ripple 也会与 SEC 的专家作对。现在你明白为什么 Ripple 最近聘请了另外两名律师。”
此案是一场已经很激烈的法庭冲突的升级，这场冲突一再占据头条新闻。
对该动议作出裁决的截止日期定在 7 月 12 日。

加密货币的未来取决于美国证券交易委员会针对金融科技公司 Ripple 提起的具体案件，其 150 亿美元的 XRP 货币在市值方面排名第七。
该诉讼于 2020 年 12 月 22 日提起，声称 Ripple 非法获得超过 13 亿美元的资金。
SEC 辩称，Larsen 和 Garlinghouse 忽视了向投资者合法列出他们对 XRP 的报价和销售，导致潜在买家无法获得有关加密货币和 Ripple 运营性质的足够信息。

如果 SEC 在与 Ripple 的法律摊牌中胜诉，XRP 在美国将被归类为证券而非数字货币。
这可能会开创一个法律先例，导致将其他加密货币归类为证券。
现在，关于这场旷日持久的法庭争吵何时结束的问题是任何人的猜测。
与此同时，XRP 的价格较前一周上涨了 8%，分析师预计该山寨币的上涨趋势将继续。
