幣安創始人趙面臨新的 SEC 投訴，重點是 BNB 代幣上市和交易程序

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 在針對幣安交易所提出的修訂投訴中重點關注了幣安的代幣上市和交易程序

The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a proposed amended complaint against Binance, detailing its allegations that the crypto exchange offered several tokens for sale as unregistered securities.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 已針對幣安提交了一份擬議的修訂投訴，詳細說明了該加密貨幣交易所提供多種代幣作為未註冊證券出售的指控。

The complaint, filed on Monday, follows a federal judge's decision to grant the SEC's motion to dismiss certain claims in its initial lawsuit against Binance. The judge had ruled that the SEC's allegations regarding Binance's Simple Earn product and BNB token sales projects were insufficient to establish that the tokens were offered and sold as securities.

該訴訟於週一提交，此前一名聯邦法官決定批准美國證券交易委員會的動議，駁回其針對幣安的初步訴訟中的某些索賠。法官裁定，SEC 對幣安 Simple Earn 產品和 BNB 代幣銷售項目的指控不足以證明代幣是作為證券發行和出售的。

In its proposed amended complaint, the SEC argues that the judge's concerns were related to the dismissal of certain portions of its initial lawsuit—specifically, Binance's Simple Earn product and BNB token sales projects. It also bolstered other allegations that the judge did not fully address in her decision, particularly 10 digital assets that the SEC used as evidence that Binance was acting as an unregistered securities provider.

在擬議的修改後的起訴書中，美國證券交易委員會認為，法官的擔憂與其最初訴訟的某些部分被駁回有關，特別是幣安的 Simple Earn 產品和 BNB 代幣銷售項目。它還支持了法官在判決中沒有充分解決的其他指控，特別是 SEC 用作證據的 10 種數位資產，證明幣安作為未註冊的證券提供者。

The SEC's fraud case claimed that BAM Trading and BAM Management had misled investors about their internal controls.

SEC 的詐欺案聲稱 BAM Trading 和 BAM Management 在內部控制方面誤導了投資者。

In a June 2024 ruling, Judge Amy Berman Jackson allowed the majority of the SEC's charges to go forward while dismissing allegations related to Binance's secondary BNB sales and Simple Earn product.

在 2024 年 6 月的一項裁決中，法官 Amy Berman Jackson 允許 SEC 的大部分指控繼續進行，同時駁回與幣安 BNB 二級銷售和 Simple Earn 產品相關的指控。

However, during a hearing in July 2024, lawyers debated whether the judge's decision meant that the 10 cryptocurrencies that the SEC claimed were also distributed as unregistered securities remained relevant to the case.

然而，在 2024 年 7 月的聽證會上，律師們爭論了法官的決定是否意味著 SEC 聲稱也作為未註冊證券發行的 10 種加密貨幣仍然與本案相關。

Since Binance and its affiliated parties have been aware of the accusations since last June and still have an opportunity to respond, the SEC stated that granting the motion to file an amended complaint will not have a negative impact on Binance and its affiliated parties. The exchange has until October 11 to oppose the motion.

由於幣安及其關聯方自去年6 月以來就已經意識到這些指控，並且仍有機會做出回應，因此SEC 表示，批准提交修改後的投訴動議不會對幣安及其關聯方產生負面影響。該交易所必須在 10 月 11 日之前反對該動議。

BNB in The Crosshairs of SEC

BNB 成為 SEC 的焦點

The proposed amended complaint provides much more detail on the SEC's claims regarding Binance's listing of various tokens, including its native coin, BNB, and how the regulator believes the exchange encourages investments in these tokens.

擬議的修訂後的投訴提供了更多關於 SEC 關於幣安上市各種代幣（包括其原生代幣 BNB）的主張的細節，以及監管機構認為交易所如何鼓勵對這些代幣的投資。

The complaint also noted that some cryptocurrencies are built on top of blockchains, while others are native to a specific blockchain. In another line, it was clarified that proof-of-stake networks, like proof-of-work networks, continue to pay validators. Additionally, the proposed filing adds "initial exchange offerings" to the section on initial coin offerings.

投訴也指出，有些加密貨幣是建立在區塊鏈之上的，而其他加密貨幣則是特定區塊鏈的原生貨幣。另一方面，澄清了權益證明網絡，就像工作量證明網絡一樣，繼續向驗證者支付費用。此外，擬議的文件在有關首次代幣發行的部分中添加了「首次交易所發行」。

Another significant addition to the filing claims that Binance plays a crucial role in the market for cryptocurrency assets that are offered for sale as securities. It allegedly provides these markets with information by amplifying and republishing the statements and actions of issuers and promoters.

該文件的另一個重要補充是，幣安在作為證券出售的加密貨幣資產市場中發揮著至關重要的作用。據稱，它透過放大和重新發布發行人和發起人的聲明和行動來向這些市場提供資訊。

The SEC further alleges that Binance's BNB burns and support for BNB-using projects are also intended to help increase the token's value. According to their allegation, Binance paid BNB employees in the United States, including executives from BAM Trading (Binance.US).

SEC 進一步聲稱，幣安的 BNB 銷毀和對使用 BNB 的專案的支持也是為了幫助提高代幣的價值。根據他們的指控，幣安向 BNB 在美國的員工支付了工資，其中包括 BAM Trading (Binance.US) 的高層。

The filing includes similar additional information on Binance Simple Earn and the ten digital assets – ADA, ALGO, ATOM, AXS, COTI, FIL, MANA, MATIC, SAND, and SOL – that were sold on the Binance platform as unregistered securities.

該文件包括有關 Binance Simple Earn 和 ADA、ALGO、ATOM、AXS、COTI、FIL、MANA、MATIC、SAND 和 SOL 等十種數位資產的類似附加信息，這些資產在幣安平台上作為未註冊證券出售。

Clarifying Confusions Around Crypto Assets and Securities

澄清加密資產和證券的混亂

In the motion for the proposed amended complaint, the SEC stated that it was removing the phrase "crypto asset securities," noting in a subsection that the agency "is not referring to the crypto asset itself as the security." Instead, the SEC stated that it "regrets any confusion that may have been invited" by referring to “the full set of contracts, expectations, and understandings centered on the sales and distributions” of the relevant digital assets when using the phrase.

在擬議修改投訴的動議中，美國證券交易委員會表示，它將刪除「加密資產證券」一詞，並在一個小節中指出，該機構「並未將加密資產本身稱為證券」。相反，美國證券交易委員會表示，它在使用該短語時提及相關數位資產的“以銷售和分銷為中心的全套合約、期望和理解”，“對可能造成的任何混亂表示遺憾”。

"Crypto assets that were offered and sold as securities" has replaced "crypto asset securities" in several points of the proposed amended complaint.

在擬議的修改後的投訴中，「作為證券提供和出售的加密資產」已取代「加密資產證券」。
