SEC 與 Helium：一場可能定義區塊鏈監管進程的訴訟

Helium 網路背後的公司 Nova Labs 決定堅決面對美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的指控。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Nova Labs, the company behind the Helium network, alleging that it offered unregistered securities. The SEC claims that Helium’s Hotspots devices and Discovery Mapping program, which reward users with HNT tokens, are securities. It also accuses Nova Labs of misleading investors about partnerships with major companies such as Lime, Nestle, and Salesforce.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 對 Helium 網路背後的公司 Nova Labs 提起訴訟，指控其提供未註冊的證券。 SEC 聲稱，Helium 的熱點設備和 Discovery Mapping 計劃以 HNT 代幣獎勵用戶，屬於證券。它還指責 Nova Labs 在與 Lime、Nestle 和 Salesforce 等大公司的合作關係方面誤導投資者。

Nova Labs CEO Amir Haleem has called the lawsuit baseless and part of the SEC’s history of hostility toward innovation in the blockchain space. Haleem points out that Nova Labs has cooperated extensively with the SEC, providing evidence of its collaboration with the named companies. He argues that written statements from these companies should be enough to refute the SEC’s allegations.

Nova Labs 執行長 Amir Haleem 稱該訴訟毫無根據，是 SEC 對區塊鏈領域創新敵視歷史的一部分。 Haleem 指出，Nova Labs 與 SEC 進行了廣泛合作，提供了其與指定公司合作的證據。他認為這些公司的書面聲明應該足以反駁 SEC 的指控。

The lawsuit could have major implications for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs). If Helium’s Hotspots are deemed to be securities, it could set a dangerous precedent that would stifle innovation and create a hostile environment for other similar projects. Haleem warns that such a classification could cripple an entire emerging industry with vast potential.

該訴訟可能會對去中心化實體基礎設施網路（DePIN）產生重大影響。如果 Helium 的熱點被視為證券，它可能會開創一個危險的先例，從而扼殺創新並為其他類似專案創造一個敵對的環境。哈利姆警告說，這樣的分類可能會削弱整個具有巨大潛力的新興產業。

The CEO of Nova Labs also notes the inconsistency in the SEC’s logic and its track record of losing similar cases. As the Trump administration heralds a potential paradigm shift, the SEC’s actions once again highlight its clear intent to hinder technological advancement in the United States.

Nova Labs 的執行長也指出 SEC 的邏輯及其輸掉類似案件的記錄不一致。隨著川普政府預示著潛在的範式轉變，美國證券交易委員會的行動再次凸顯了其阻礙美國技術進步的明確意圖。

Nova Labs is preparing to vigorously defend itself against the accusations, armed with evidence of Nova Labs’ successful collaborations with major companies. This conflict could shape blockchain regulation for years to come, with broad implications for the entire industry.

Nova Labs 正準備利用 Nova Labs 與大公司成功合作的證據，針對這些指控積極為自己辯護。這種衝突可能會影響未來幾年的區塊鏈監管，並對整個產業產生廣泛影響。
