SEC識別工作證明（POW）採礦機制未歸類為安全

最近，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）正式認識到，工作證明（POW）採礦機制並未歸類為安全性，為這項技術提供了更大的監管清晰度。這不僅是比特幣（世界領先的加密貨幣）的積極信號，而且對於基於POW的Altcoin ETF而言也是一個積極的信號。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has stated that Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining activities are not classified as security transactions, according to an announcement made today.

根據今天的公告，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）表示，工作證明（POW）採礦活動並未歸類為安全交易。

In its statement, the SEC provides analysis of relevant provisions of U.S. securities laws in the context of PoW mining. PoW is a type of blockchain network governance that relies on computational power and miners’ participation, forming the basis of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

在其聲明中，SEC在權力開采的背景下對美國證券法的相關規定進行了分析。 POW是一種依賴計算能力和礦工參與的區塊鍊網絡治理，構成了像比特幣這樣的加密貨幣的基礎。

"PoW mining does not involve the issuance, sale, or intermediary activities related to securities," the SEC declares. "It is a decentralized network governance activity, with miners' rewards depending on their computational power and participation, not on the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of third parties."

SEC宣稱：“ POW採礦不涉及與證券有關的發行，銷售或中介活動。” “這是一項分散的網絡治理活動，礦工的獎勵取決於他們的計算能力和參與，而不是第三方的企業家或管理工作。”

As such, solo miners and mining pools do not engage in transactions that would require registration with the SEC. Moreover, the mined crypto assets, termed “Covered Crypto Assets” in the SEC's statement, do not meet the criteria to be classified as securities.

因此，單人礦工和採礦池不參與需要與SEC進行註冊的交易。此外，在SEC的聲明中，採礦的加密資產稱為“覆蓋加密資產”，不符合歸類為證券的標準。

This statement aims to provide transparency and clarity to the cryptocurrency industry, especially amid growing regulatory questions. The SEC affirms that these activities do not require registration with the SEC under current securities laws, as long as they do not involve issuing or selling assets as investment contracts and meet the defined criteria.

該聲明旨在為加密貨幣行業提供透明度和清晰度，尤其是在越來越多的監管問題中。 SEC申明，只要這些活動不涉及發行或出售資產作為投資合同並符合已定義的標準，這些活動不需要根據現行證券法對SEC進行註冊。

However, the SEC leaves room for case-by-case evaluation if additional factors, such as fraud or differing transaction structures, arise. Overall, this statement by the SEC marks a significant step in reducing legal uncertainty for PoW mining participants.

但是，SEC是否會出現其他因素（例如欺詐或不同的交易結構），為逐案評估留出空間。總體而言，SEC的這一聲明標誌著減少Pow採礦參與者的法律不確定性的重要一步。
