Eden Gallery 拒絕對 NFT 持有者的損失承擔責任，認為應該駁回集體訴訟

國際藝廊 Eden Gallery 表示，一群 NFT 持有者「可能會有買家悔恨，但他們的損失（如果有的話）也是市場力量造成的」。

An international art gallery has stated that a group of NFT holders “may have buyers’ remorse, but their losses, if any, are due to market forces.”

一家國際藝術畫廊表示，一群 NFT 持有者「可能會對買家感到悔恨，但他們的損失（如果有的話）也是市場力量造成的」。

Eden Gallery Group Ltd. is attempting to dismiss a class action lawsuit filed against the gallery over declining NFT prices. The gallery claims that the broader market downturn, not any fraud or misrepresentation on their part, is to blame for the losses.

Eden Gallery Group Ltd. 正試圖駁回針對該畫廊因 NFT 價格下跌而提起的集體訴訟。畫廊聲稱，造成損失的原因是更廣泛的市場低迷，而不是他們的任何欺詐或不實陳述。

“Plaintiffs may have buyers’ remorse (even though the NFTs were a digital art product rather than an investment product), but their losses, if any, are due to market forces,” Eden Gallery stated in the filing.

「原告可能會對買家感到悔恨（儘管 NFT 是一種數位藝術產品而不是投資產品），但他們的損失（如果有的話）也是由市場力量造成的，」Eden Gallery 在文件中表示。

The art gallery is being sued by a group of 36 people who bought “Meta Eagle Club” NFTs. They filed a lawsuit in October, accusing Eden Gallery and the artist Gal Yosef of fraud, unjust enrichment, and violating New York’s General Business Law.

該美術館正在被 36 名購買「Meta Eagle Club」NFT 的人起訴。他們於 10 月提起訴訟，指控 Eden Gallery 和藝術家 Gal Yosef 欺詐、不當得利並違反紐約一般商業法。

The NFT holders claim that Eden Gallery and Yosef's project “was a rug pull.” The Meta Eagle Club NFT collection features 12,000 unique human-like eagles and raised $13 million from February 2022 to November 2023.

NFT 持有者聲稱 Eden Gallery 和 Yosef 的項目「是一個小動作」。 Meta Eagle Club NFT 系列擁有 12,000 隻獨特的類人鷹，從 2022 年 2 月到 2023 年 11 月籌集了 1,300 萬美元。

“NFTs were an extremely popular asset class when the Meta Eagle Club NFTs launched in early 2022, but the overall popularity of the NFT market subsequently declined,” Eden Gallery stated.

「當 Meta Eagle Club NFT 於 2022 年初推出時，NFT 是一種非常受歡迎的資產類別，但 NFT 市場的整體受歡迎程度隨後下降，」Eden Gallery 表示。

The starting price for a Meta Eagle Club NFT is now 0.0051 ETH, or around $17, on OpenSea, down from 0.6 ETH, or about $1,800, when the NFTs were airdropped in February 2022.

目前，Meta Eagle Club NFT 在 OpenSea 上的起始價格為 0.0051 ETH（約 17 美元），低於 2022 年 2 月 NFT 空投時的 0.6 ETH（約 1,800 美元）。

The group of NFT owners alleges they overpaid for the NFTs due to misrepresentations by Eden Gallery and are seeking compensatory damages ranging from $1,224 to $70,219 per claimant.

NFT 所有者團體聲稱，由於 Eden Gallery 的虛假陳述，他們為 NFT 支付了過高的費用，並正在尋求每位索賠人 1,224 美元至 70,219 美元的賠償損失。

However, the gallery also stated that each plaintiff's claim falls below the $75,000 jurisdictional threshold and that combining the claims is not permitted.

然而，畫廊也表示，每個原告的索賠均低於 75,000 美元的管轄門檻，並且不允許合併索賠。

NFT sales have seen a recent uptick as the crypto market rallies, but the sector is still down 98% in US dollar sales volume from its early 2022 peak, according to industry analytics portal CryptoSlam.

根據行業分析入口網站 CryptoSlam 的數據，隨著加密貨幣市場的反彈，NFT 銷量近期有所上升，但該行業以美元計算的銷量仍較 2022 年初的峰值下降了 98%。
