Opensea創始人慶祝SEC勝利，隨著監管機構關閉其對NFT市場的調查

該調查始於2024年8月，圍繞著Opensea促進出售未註冊證券的指控。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially concluded its investigation into OpenSea, the leading non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, as confirmed by the platform’s founder.

該平台的創始人證實，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）已正式締結了對領先的無牙（NFT）市場Opensea的調查。

This development marks a significant milestone for OpenSea as it navigates the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding digital assets and NFTs.

這種發展標誌著Opensea的重要里程碑，因為它可以導航圍繞數字資產和NFT的不斷發展的監管景觀。

OpenSea founder celebrates its victory

Opensea創始人慶祝其勝利

Taking to Twitter, OpenSea founder Devin Finzer announced the SEC’s decision, highlighting its importance for the NFT industry.

Opensea創始人Devin Finzer宣布了SEC的決定，強調了其對NFT行業的重要性。

“The SEC is closing its investigation into OpenSea. This is a win for everyone who is creating and building in our space,” Finzer wrote.

SEC正在關閉對Opensea的調查。對於每個在我們的空間中創建和建造的人來說，這都是勝利。” Finzer寫道。

“Trying to classify NFTs as securities would have been a step backward—one that misinterprets the law and slows innovation. Every creator, big or small, should be able to build freely without unnecessary barriers.”

“試圖將NFT歸類為證券本來是倒退的一步，一個誤解了法律並減慢了創新。每個大小的創造者都應該能夠在沒有不必要的障礙的情況下自由地建造。”

As previously reported by Finzer had warned that labeling NFTs as securities could stifle innovation and hinder growth within the industry.

正如Finzer先前報導的那樣，將NFT標記為證券可能會扼殺創新並阻礙行業內的增長。

However, the political landscape shifted when Donald Trump secured a second presidential term, with his administration taking a more crypto-friendly stance.

但是，當唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）獲得第二個總統任期時，政治景觀發生了變化，他的政府採取了更友好的立場。

Under the current SEC leadership, the investigation into OpenSea was closed—a move welcomed by industry leaders.

在當前的SEC領導下，對Opensea的調查被關閉了，這一舉動受到行業領導者的歡迎。

OpenSea’s competitors, too, celebrate this victory

Opensea的競爭對手也慶祝這一勝利

Magic Eden’s chief business officer, Chris Akhavan, acknowledged that while his platform competes with OpenSea, the SEC’s decision marks a victory for the entire NFT industry.

Magic Eden的首席業務官Chris Akhavan承認，儘管他的平台與Opensea競爭，但SEC的決定標誌著整個NFT行業的勝利。

“We believe that regulatory clarity benefits all players in the space, fostering innovation and growth across the ecosystem,” Akhavan added.

Akhavan補充說：“我們認為，法規清晰度使空間中的所有參與者都受益，從而促進了整個生態系統的創新和增長。”

“While we are competitors in the trenches, we share a deep belief in NFTs and what they will enable. Happy to see such a win for the space.”

“雖然我們是戰es中的競爭對手，但我們對NFT和他們將實現的目標有著深刻的信念。很高興看到這個空間的勝利。”

SEC ends investigation with Coinbase

SEC結束了與Coinbase的調查

Interestingly, the SEC’s decision to conclude its investigation into OpenSea came just hours after it agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against crypto exchange Coinbase.

有趣的是，SEC決定對Opensea進行調查的決定是在同意駁回其針對加密交易所Coinbase的訴訟後僅數小時。

The lawsuit alleged that Coinbase is operating as an unregistered securities broker, a claim that the exchange has vehemently contested.

該訴訟稱，Coinbase正在作為未註冊的證券經紀人運行，聲稱該交易所激烈競爭。

After the news came in, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expressed optimism, predicting that the Commission would officially approve the dismissal by next week.

消息傳來後，Coinbase首席執行官Brian Armstrong表示樂觀，預測該委員會將在下周正式批准解僱。

“Once approved by the Commission (which we’re told to expect next week), this would be a full dismissal, with $0 in fines paid and zero changes to our business,” Armstrong stated.

阿姆斯特朗說：“一旦獲得委員會的批准（我們被告知下週要預期），這將是一次完全解僱，罰款為0美元，我們的業務零變更為零。”

“Together, we showed the SEC that crypto is too important to shoehorn into outdated securities law.”

“一起，我們向SEC展示了加密貨幣太重要了，無法將其納入過時的證券法。”

These developments suggest a more favorable regulatory environment for the crypto industry under the current SEC leadership.

這些事態發展表明，在當前的SEC領導下，加密行業的監管環境更為有利。
