美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的威爾斯通知強調需要更清晰的加密貨幣監管

知名區塊鏈遊戲公司 Immutable 最近透露，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 發出威爾斯通知，表示打算對涉嫌違反證券法的行為尋求執法行動。

Immutable, a leading blockchain gaming company, has recently come under the regulatory scanner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC has sent a Wells Notice to Immutable, indicating its intention to pursue enforcement action for alleged securities law violations.

Immutable 是一家領先的區塊鏈遊戲公司，最近受到美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的監管審查。美國證券交易委員會已向 Immutable 發出 Wells 通知，表明其打算對涉嫌違反證券法的行為採取執法行動。

The regulator's focus on Immutable's token sale and private listing in 2021 raises questions about the regulatory compliance of the token's initial offering. The SEC maintains that Immutable's IMX token could qualify as a security.

監管機構對 Immutable 2021 年代幣銷售和私募上市的關注引發了人們對該代幣首次發行的監管合規性的質疑。 SEC 認為 Immutable 的 IMX 代幣符合證券資格。

As Immutable navigates these claims under regulatory scrutiny, the SEC suggests that the company's earlier statements on the nature of IMX may have been misleading.

由於 Immutable 在監管審查下處理這些主張，SEC 表示該公司先前關於 IMX 性質的聲明可能具有誤導性。

Immutable Joins a Growing List of Crypto Firms Facing SEC Scrutiny

Immutable 加入了越來越多面臨 SEC 審查的加密貨幣公司名單

When the SEC believes a company may have violated securities laws, it typically follows a formal process known as the Wells Notice procedure. This notice provides the recipient with an opportunity to respond before official action is initiated, allowing them to clarify or contest the alleged violations.

當美國證券交易委員會認為一家公司可能違反了證券法時，它通常會遵循稱為「威爾斯通知程序」的正式程序。該通知為接收者提供了在正式採取行動之前做出回應的機會，使他們能夠澄清或質疑所指控的違規行為。

In response, Immutable has maintained that IMX is not to be considered a security. The company argues that the token's utility within its gaming ecosystem sets it apart from traditional securities, reflecting a broader point of contention between blockchain innovators and regulatory bodies over the classification of digital assets.

作為回應，Immutable 堅稱 IMX 不應被視為證券。該公司認為，該代幣在其遊戲生態系統中的實用性使其有別於傳統證券，反映了區塊鏈創新者和監管機構之間關於數位資產分類的更廣泛的爭論點。

This development adds Immutable to a growing list of blockchain and crypto companies that have received Wells notices in recent times. Notably, the SEC has also sent similar notices to companies like Robinhood Crypto and Uniswap Labs, alleging potential securities law violations and initiating broader investigations into the structure and nature of digital assets.

這一進展將 Immutable 添加到了越來越多最近收到 Wells 通知的區塊鏈和加密公司名單中。值得注意的是，美國證券交易委員會也向 Robinhood Crypto 和 Uniswap Labs 等公司發出了類似的通知，指控其可能違反證券法，並對數位資產的結構和性質發起更廣泛的調查。

Despite industry pleas for a tailored regulatory framework, each case highlights the SEC's increasing efforts to apply existing securities laws throughout the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors.

儘管業界呼籲制定量身定制的監管框架，但每個案例都凸顯了 SEC 不斷努力在整個區塊鏈和加密貨幣領域應用現有證券法。

These legal hurdles pose significant challenges for companies, especially as they navigate shifting legal interpretations while innovating in decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and blockchain-based applications.

這些法律障礙給公司帶來了重大挑戰，特別是當他們在去中心化金融（DeFi）、NFT 和基於區塊鏈的應用程式創新時應對不斷變化的法律解釋。

Crypto Industry Awaits Clearer Compliance Guidelines

加密行業等待更清晰的合規準則

Immutable's stance echoes a broader sentiment within the blockchain community, highlighting the need for clearer compliance guidelines. Without precise definitions or legal clarifications, many crypto entities argue that they are left in a precarious position, facing potential legal challenges for adhering to one interpretation of the law only to be penalized by another.

Immutable 的立場呼應了區塊鏈社群內更廣泛的情緒，強調需要更清晰的合規指南。由於沒有準確的定義或法律澄清，許多加密貨幣實體認為自己處於不穩定的境地，面臨潛在的法律挑戰，因為遵守一種法律解釋只會受到另一種法律解釋的懲罰。

Immutable's position reflects the industry's demand for regulatory authorities to establish clear criteria that distinguish different types of digital assets and their varied use cases.

Immutable 的立場反映了業界對監管機構建立明確標準來區分不同類型的數位資產及其不同用例的需求。

The SEC's latest move has sent the Immutable token, IMX, on a downward spiral. At the time of writing, IMX is trading at around $1.17, down 13.90% in the last 24 hours.

SEC 的最新舉措使不可變代幣 IMX 陷入螺旋式下降。截至撰寫本文時，IMX 的交易價格約為 1.17 美元，過去 24 小時內下跌 13.90%。

In related news, CNF reported that the leading NFT platform, OpenSea, has also received a Wells Notice from the SEC. The notice indicates that the SEC is considering legal action on the premise that NFTs on OpenSea's platform may be securities.

相關消息中，CNF 報告稱，領先的 NFT 平台 OpenSea 也收到了 SEC 的 Wells 通知。該通知表明，SEC 正在考慮採取法律行動，前提是 OpenSea 平台上的 NFT 可能是證券。

OpenSea has responded by allocating $5 million to its legal defense fund, asserting its challenge to the SEC's claim and maintaining that NFTs should not be classified as securities.

OpenSea 做出回應，向其法律辯護基金撥款 500 萬美元，對 SEC 的主張提出質疑，並堅持認為 NFT 不應被歸類為證券。
