卡爾達諾創始人引發關於以太坊命運的爭議

卡爾達諾創始人關於以太坊監管命運的言論在美國證券交易委員會的分類辯論中引發了爭議。 Hoskinson 對 ETH 向權益證明過渡的見解凸顯了正在進行的審查，並強調重點應該放在 2022 年 PoS 的轉變上，而不是 2014 年曆史上的 ICO。

As Ethereum faces a regulatory storm, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, in a now-deleted tweet, shared his thoughts surrounding ETH’s transition from proof of work to proof of stake. For context, the US SEC is reportedly considering classifying the second-largest altcoin as a security, sparking intense discussions in the crypto community. Hoskinson suggested that any investigation surrounding the token does not revolve around the historical initial coin offering [ICO] in 2014 but instead on the 2022 PoS transition.

隨著以太坊面臨監管風暴，卡爾達諾創始人查爾斯·霍斯金森 (Charles Hoskinson) 在一條現已刪除的推文中分享了他對 ETH 從工作證明向權益證明過渡的想法。就背景而言，據報道，美國證券交易委員會正在考慮將第二大山寨幣歸類為證券，引發了加密社群的激烈討論。 Hoskinson 表示，圍繞該代幣的任何調查都不會圍繞 2014 年歷史上的首次代幣發行 [ICO]，而是圍繞 2022 年 PoS 過渡。

According to the Cardano founder, this shift represents a significant change in Ethereum’s fundamental structure that could potentially lead to a reevaluation of its legal status. Hoskinson argued that Ethereum 2.0 offsets any past controversies or discussions about its classification as a security, as the token should be treated as a new cryptocurrency with a distinct set of characteristics and circumstances.

根據卡爾達諾創始人的說法，這一轉變代表了以太坊基本結構的重大變化，這可能會導致對其法律地位的重新評估。霍斯金森認為，以太坊 2.0 抵消了過去有關其作為證券分類的任何爭議或討論，因為該代幣應被視為具有一組獨特特徵和環境的新加密貨幣。

In his analysis, past events such as the controversial “ETHGate” and discussions surrounding Ethereum’s status as a security during its proof-of-work phase hold little relevance under this new legal interpretation. Instead, the focus would shift to determining whether Ethereum, at the moment of its proof-of-stake launch, could be considered a security and who would be deemed the issuer of that asset.

在他的分析中，過去的事件，例如有爭議的“ETHGate”，以及圍繞以太坊在工作量證明階段作為證券地位的討論，在這種新的法律解釋下幾乎沒有什麼意義。相反，重點將轉向確定以太坊在推出權益證明時是否可以被視為一種證券，以及誰將被視為該資產的發行人。

The investigation isn’t related to historical facts and circumstances around the 2014 ICO, but rather to the position that the 2022 transition from proof of work to proof of stake is a new cryptocurrency with a new set of facts and circumstances. What that means is that everything about ETHGate and proof of work, prior statements, etc etc would be irrelevant since Ethereum 2 reset the clock and has a blank slate legal interpretation.

這項調查與 2014 年 ICO 的歷史事實和情況無關，而是與 2022 年從工作量證明到權益證明的過渡是一種新的加密貨幣以及一系列新的事實和情況這一立場有關。這意味著關於 ETHGate 和工作量證明、先前聲明等的一切都將變得無關緊要，因為以太坊 2 重置了時鐘並具有空白的法律解釋。

Cardano: Hoskinson’s Response to Ethereum Critique

In the past, Hoskinson faced backlash for his stance on Ethereum, prompting him to remove his original post. He then subsequently tweeted again, expressing his determination to continue posting once the backlash subsided.

卡爾達諾：霍斯金森對以太坊批評的回應過去，霍斯金森因其對以太坊的立場而遭到強烈反對，促使他刪除了原來的帖子。隨後他再次發推文，表示一旦強烈反對平息，他決心繼續發文。

According to a recent report in Fortune, the Securities and Exchange Commission has renewed its legal efforts to classify Ethereum as a security, potentially affecting its regulatory status and ETF approvals. Despite the uncertainty, Ethereum’s price bounced back, demonstrating resilience amidst a volatile crypto market.

— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) 2024 年3 月21 日根據《財富》雜誌最近的一篇報道，美國證券交易委員會已重新採取法律行動，將以太坊歸類為證券，這可能會影響其監管地位和ETF 核准。儘管存在不確定性，以太幣的價格仍是反彈，在動盪的加密貨幣市場中展現了彈性。

Additionally, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, applied with the SEC to launch a tokenized investment fund named the “Blackrock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund” [BUIDL] on the Ethereum blockchain. Reportedly, the AUM has seeded $100 million for this venture. 

此外，全球最大的資產管理公司貝萊德向美國證券交易委員會申請在以太坊區塊鏈上推出名為「貝萊德美元機構數位流動性基金」[BUIDL]的代幣化投資基金。據報道，AUM 已為該合資企業注入 1 億美元資金。
