SEC駁回了對擁有氦網絡的公司Nova Labs的案件

美國證券交易委員會（SEC）駁回了對擁有氦網絡的公司Nova Labs的案件，認為該項目的代幣不是證券。

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dismissed its case against Nova Labs, the firm that owns the Helium Network, deeming that the project’s tokens are not securities. This move comes when Helium’s cryptocurrency (HNT) enjoys robust market performance, trading at around $2.92 with a 7% rise over the past 24 hours.

美國證券交易委員會（SEC）駁回了對擁有氦網絡的公司Nova Labs的案件，認為該項目的代幣不是證券。此舉是在氦的加密貨幣（HNT）享有強勁的市場業績，在過去24小時內增長了7％，交易約為2.92美元。

Nova Labs Pays $200,000 Fine

Nova Labs支付$ 200,000罰款

Nova Labs agreed to pay a $200,000 civil penalty to settle fraud claims without admitting fault, despite celebrating the regulatory victory, according to documents filed in a federal court in San Francisco on Wednesday.

根據周三在舊金山的聯邦法院提交的文件，儘管慶祝監管勝利，但諾瓦實驗室同意支付200,000美元的民事罰款，以解決欺詐索賠而不承認過錯。

The SEC had alleged that the company made false and misleading statements to institutional investors in connection with a preferred equity offering in 2021 and 2022, when it raised $200 million at a $1 billion valuation.

SEC曾聲稱，該公司在2021年和2022年的首選股權產品中向機構投資者發表了虛假和誤導性的聲明，當時該公司以10億美元的估值籌集了2億美元。

According to the SEC, Nova Labs exaggerated the connections and partnerships it had with large companies such as Nestle and Salesforce. These partnerships were limited in number and mainly occurred before the launch of Helium’s network in 2019. This company announcement about the SEC’s dismissal did not mention this financial settlement.

根據SEC的說法，Nova Labs誇大了與雀巢和Salesforce等大型公司的聯繫和合作夥伴關係。這些合作夥伴關係的數量有限，主要發生在2019年氦網絡推出之前。該公司宣布SEC解僱的消息沒有提及此財務和解。

Landmark Decision Creates Precedent For DePIN Projects

具有里程碑意義的決策為杜地國項目創建先例

“We can now definitely say that all compatible Helium Hotspots and the distribution of HNT, IOT, and MOBILE tokens on the Helium Network are not securities,” Helium stated in an April 10 blog post. The company explained that the sale of hardware and token distribution for network expansion do not necessarily qualify them as securities.

氦氣在4月10日的博客文章中說：“我們現在可以肯定地說，所有兼容的氦熱點以及氦網絡上的HNT，IoT和移動令牌的分佈都不是證券。”該公司解釋說，用於網絡擴展的硬件和代幣分銷的出售不一定使它們成為證券。

This decision sets a significant precedent for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), eliminating legal uncertainty for projects of the same type that utilize cryptocurrency incentives to build physical infrastructure. The ruling signals a fundamental shift in regulatory thinking.

該決定為分散的物理基礎架構網絡（DEPIN）樹立了重要的先例，消除了利用加密貨幣激勵措施來構建物理基礎設施的相同類型項目的法律不確定性。該裁決標誌著監管思維的根本轉變。

Helium Network Remains In Strong Standing Despite Setbacks

儘管挫折，氦網絡仍然保持強烈地位

The Helium Network currently has around 375,000 active hotspots operating in various locations worldwide. The blockchain network empowers users to create and manage small WiFi networks, offering decentralized wireless infrastructure for mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

氦網絡目前在全球各個位置都有大約375,000個活躍的熱點。區塊鍊網絡使用戶能夠創建和管理小型WiFi網絡，從而為移動和互聯網（IoT）設備提供分散的無線基礎架構。

Trump Administration Signals Shift In Crypto Regulation

特朗普政府信號在加密法規中轉移

The dismissal of the Helium case adds to what appears to be a string of SEC case dismissals during the Trump administration. The agency is said to have dropped charges against several prominent cryptocurrency businesses such as Coinbase, Binance, and Uniswap since US President Donald Trump was inaugurated in January.

撤銷氦氣案增加了特朗普政府期間的一系列SEC案件。據說該機構已經對幾家著名的加密貨幣業務（例如Coinbase，Binance和Uniswap）提出了指控，因為美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）於一月份開幕。

The termination timing coincides with Paul Atkins formally assuming the role of chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission following confirmation by the US Senate.

終止時序與保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）正式同時擔任美國參議院確認後證券交易委員會主席的職務。

This development follows a tumultuous period that saw the departure of former chairman Gary Gensler, leaving behind a single commissioner, reportedly leading to the termination of several high-profile cases.

這一發展是在一個動蕩的時期之後，前董事長加里·貢斯勒（Gary Gensler）離開了，據報導，一名專員留下了一名專員，導致終止了幾起備受矚目的案件。

The enforcement action against Nova Labs was initially filed in January 2025 and represents one of the last enforcement actions initiated by the SEC under the now-former chairman Gensler before his resignation.

針對Nova Labs的執法行動最初於2025年1月提起，這是SEC在Gensler辭職之前由SEC在現任董事長下面發起的最後執法行動之一。

According to reports, Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda and Commissioner Hester Peirce endeavored to dismiss crypto enforcement cases amid the transition from Gensler’s exit to Atkins’ confirmation.

據報導，代理董事長馬克·烏耶達（Mark Uyeda）和專員赫斯特·皮爾斯（Hester Peirce）努力駁回了從Gensler退出到阿特金斯（Atkins）確認的過渡，駁回了加密執法案件。

While viewed as crypto-friendly, it seems that chair Paul is more interested in setting up a legal framework for digital assets than in continuing to dismantle the existing regulatory regime.

雖然被認為是對加密貨幣友好的，但保羅主席似乎對建立數字資產的法律框架更感興趣，而不是繼續拆除現有的監管制度。
