SEC已對加密項目氦氣的創建者Nova Labs提出索賠

這也意味著氦氣WiFi熱點不被視為證券。氦現在可以繼續開發WiFi基礎架構並提供加密動機

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped its claims against Nova Labs, creator of the crypto project Helium, arguing that their tokens, including HNT, MOBILE, and IOT, are not considered securities. This also means that the Helium WiFi Hotspots are not subject to securities law.

證券交易委員會（SEC）已對加密項目氦氣的創建者Nova Labs提出索賠，認為其代幣（包括HNT，Mobile和IoT）不被視為證券。這也意味著氦氣WiFi熱點不遵守證券法。

Helium can now continue building out its WiFi infrastructure and providing crypto incentives without having to worry about the SEC subjecting it to never-ending legal suits. The Helium team remains excited by their vision of creating a fully connected world with the help of blockchain technology.

現在，氦氣可以繼續建立其WiFi基礎設施，並提供加密動機，而不必擔心SEC將其戴上永無止境的法律訴訟。氦小組對在區塊鏈技術的幫助下創建一個完全連接的世界的願景感到興奮。

Former SEC chair Gary Gensler made one final lashing out, targeting Helium with an enforcement action.

前美國證券交易委員會主席加里·貢斯勒（Gary Gensler）進行了最後一次抨擊，以執法行動為目標。

However, Helium announced on its blog that the case was "unfairly dismissed," meaning the SEC cannot pursue similar cases against Helium in the future. Helium also announced that its tokens, including its WiFi tokens, can now be declared saints.

但是，氦氣在其博客上宣布，該案被“不公平地駁回”，這意味著SEC將來不能在未來針對氦氣案。氦氣還宣布，現在可以宣布其包括其WiFi代幣在內的代幣。

Helium operates a blockchain network responsible for around 375,000 WiFi Hotspots, aiming to decentralize the WiFi business. Its market cap was around $5 billion in 2021 and has since dropped to $480 million. Since Trump’s inauguration, the SEC has dropped several high-profile cases, including those against Ripple, Coinbase, and Uniswap.

氦氣運營一個區塊鍊網絡，負責大約375,000個WiFi熱點，旨在分散WiFi業務。它的市值在2021年約為50億美元，此後已降至4.8億美元。自特朗普就職典禮以來，SEC已撤銷了幾起備受矚目的案件，包括針對Ripple，Coinbase和Uniswap的案件。

“Today marks a major win for Helium and The People’s Network,” wrote Helium on their blog. “Nova Labs, the founding team behind Helium, confirms the SEC has agreed to dismiss with prejudice its claims that Nova Labs sold unregistered securities. With this dismissal, we can now definitively say that all compatible Helium Hotspots and the distribution of HNT, IOT, and MOBILE tokens through the Helium Network are not securities”.

“今天，標誌著氦氣和人民網絡的重大勝利，”氦氣在他們的博客上寫道。 “氦氣背後的創始團隊Nova Labs證實，SEC已同意對Nova Labs出售未註冊的證券的說法駁回。我們現在可以肯定地說，所有兼容的氦氣熱點以及HNT，IoT，IoT，IoT和Mobile Swimkens ya Helium Network的分佈都不是證券。”

The SEC, however, will still fine Nova Labs with a $200,000 penalty related to their civil case involving major firms, including Nestle, Lime, and Salesforce. The SEC claimed that they engaged in fundraising misconduct by making inflated claims about their relation to major firms, during a 2021-2022 token sale. The SEC argues that they inflated their valuation to $1 billion by luring investors under false pretenses. Despite Helium only having limited contact with companies like Nestle, they presented these companies as partners and users of their technology.

但是，SEC仍將罰款Nova Labs，並與涉及雀巢，石灰和Salesforce在內的主要公司的民事案件相關的200,000美元罰款。美國證券交易委員會聲稱，他們在2021 - 2022年的代幣銷售中就其與主要公司的關係提出了誇張的索賠，從而從事籌款不當行為。美國證券交易委員會（SEC）認為，他們以虛假的藉口吸引投資者將其估值膨脹到10億美元。儘管氦氣只與雀巢等公司的聯繫有限，但他們還是將這些公司作為其技術的合作夥伴和用戶展示。

The $200k settlement allows Helium to move on without admitting guilt. Crypto projects, moreover, should learn a lesson from the incident, remembering the dangers of marketing a fundraising campaign.

$ 20萬美元的和解協議允許氦氣繼續前進而無需承認有罪。此外，加密項目應該從事件中學到一課，記住營銷籌款活動的危險。

“With the dismissal of the SEC’s unregistered securities claims with prejudice,” Helium wrote on their blog, “the outcome establishes that selling hardware and distributing tokens for network growth does not automatically make them securities in the eyes of the SEC”.

氦在博客上寫道：“隨著SEC未註冊的證券索賠的偏見，結果表明，出售硬件並分發網絡增長的代幣並不能在SEC眼中自動使其成為證券。”
