美國證券交易委員會在裡維茲案上取得重大勝利，繼續在加密貨幣領域展開更廣泛的法律鬥爭

由主席加里詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 領導的美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 在加密貨幣監管方面一直保持強硬立場。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has scored a significant victory in its legal battle against Rivetz, a now-defunct mobile crypto wallet company.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 在針對現已解散的行動加密錢包公司 Rivetz 的法律訴訟中取得了重大勝利。

According to a recent court filing, U.S. District Judge Mark Mastroianni has granted the SEC's motion for summary judgment in the case. This means that the court has ruled on the matter based on the evidence presented, without proceeding to a trial.

根據最近的一份法庭文件，美國地區法官馬克馬斯楚安尼 (Mark Mastroianni) 已批准美國證券交易委員會對此案的簡易判決動議。這意味著法院已根據所提供的證據對此事做出裁決，而無需進行審判。

The SEC filed a legal action against Rivetz in 2021, alleging that the firm sold $18 million in unregistered securities during an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2017, thus violating the Securities Act.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 於 2021 年對 Rivetz 提起法律訴訟，指控該公司在 2017 年的首次代幣發行 (ICO) 期間出售了 1800 萬美元的未註冊證券，從而違反了《證券法》。

Specifically, the regulator cited Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act 1933 in its complaint.

具體來說，監管機構在投訴中引用了《1933 年證券法》第 5(a) 和 5(c) 條。

The SEC maintained in its filing that Rivetz's CEO personally promoted the ICO within the United States without filing a prior registration statement, which is a violation of the Securities Act.

美國證券交易委員會在其文件中堅稱，Rivetz 執行長在未提交事先註冊聲明的情況下親自在美國境內推廣 ICO，這違反了《證券法》。

As per the court's ruling, Rivetz CEO Steven Sprague now has until October 22 to submit a proposed judgment for 'injunctive and monetary relief.' Additionally, Judge Mastroianni ruled that Sprague may file objections to the judgment no later than November 5, 2024.

根據法院的裁決，Rivetz 執行長 Steven Sprague 現在必須在 10 月 22 日之前提交「禁令和金錢救濟」的擬議判決。此外，馬斯楚安尼法官裁定，斯普拉格可以在 2024 年 11 月 5 日之前對判決提出異議。

The SEC alleged that a portion of the ICO proceeds were misused, with the founder receiving $1 million as a bonus and an additional $2.5 million loan to purchase property in the Cayman Islands.

SEC 指控 ICO 收益的一部分被濫用，創始人獲得 100 萬美元獎金和額外 250 萬美元貸款用於在開曼群島購買房產。

Despite offering advanced blockchain security solutions for mobile devices integrated with cryptocurrency wallets, Rivetz struggled to gain significant traction in the crypto market.

儘管為與加密貨幣錢包整合的行動裝置提供了先進的區塊鏈安全解決方案，但 Rivetz 仍難以在加密市場中獲得顯著的吸引力。

The ruling in the SEC's case against Rivetz is part of the broader legal efforts by the regulatory body against various crypto entities.

美國證券交易委員會針對 Rivetz 案件的裁決是監管機構針對各種加密實體的更廣泛法律努力的一部分。

For example, the SEC has been engaged in a four-year legal battle against Ripple, initially seeking a $2 billion fine for allegedly violating federal securities laws. The SEC claimed that Ripple sold XRP directly to institutional clients.

例如，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 與 Ripple 展開了長達四年的法律鬥爭，最初要求以涉嫌違反聯邦證券法為由處以 20 億美元的罰款。 SEC 聲稱 Ripple 直接向機構客戶出售 XRP。

However, in a significant development, Federal Judge Analisa Torres ruled that Ripple should only pay $125 million in fines with an injunction against future violations.

然而，一個重大進展是，聯邦法官 Analisa Torres 裁定 Ripple 僅需支付 1.25 億美元的罰款，並禁止未來的違規行為。

Although the fine is more than 12 times the amount ($10 million) Ripple argued for, it is considerably smaller than the SEC's $2 billion proposal, which many view as a major win for Ripple in its case against the SEC.

儘管罰款是 Ripple 主張的金額（1000 萬美元）的 12 倍多，但它比 SEC 提出的 20 億美元提議要小得多，許多人認為這是 Ripple 在針對 SEC 的案件中取得的重大勝利。

Moreover, crypto exchanges Binance and Coinbase have also faced legal challenges from the SEC.

此外，加密貨幣交易所 Binance 和 Coinbase 也面臨 SEC 的法律挑戰。

In 2023, the regulatory body sued Binance Holdings Limited and its founder, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, for operating as an unlicensed securities exchange in the U.S.

2023 年，監管機構起訴幣安控股有限公司及其創始人趙長鵬“CZ”，稱其在美國經營無牌證券交易所

The SEC also brought an enforcement action against Coinbase, alleging that the firm acted as an unregistered broker. In its defense, the exchange argued that the SEC has been inconsistent and lacked transparency in its actions related to cryptocurrency.

美國證券交易委員會也對 Coinbase 採取了執法行動，指控該公司充當未註冊經紀人。該交易所在辯護中辯稱，美國證券交易委員會在與加密貨幣相關的行動中不一致且缺乏透明度。

As the race to the White House intensifies, both the Republican and Democratic parties have attempted to appeal to voters within the crypto community, with political analysts suggesting that cryptocurrency could play a pivotal role in the November election.

隨著白宮競選的加劇，共和黨和民主黨都試圖吸引加密貨幣社區內的選民，政治分析家認為加密貨幣可能在 11 月的選舉中發揮關鍵作用。

Unsurprisingly, SEC Chair Gary Gensler has faced scrutiny from lawmakers in Congress recently.

不出所料，美國證券交易委員會主席加里詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 最近面臨國會議員的審查。

Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, a known advocate for digital assets, has openly criticized Gensler, accusing him of stifling innovation and failing to provide clear, proactive guidance in the SEC's regulatory oversight of the crypto space.

懷俄明州參議員辛西婭·盧米斯(Cynthia Lummis) 是一位著名的數位資產倡導者，她公開批評Gensler，指責他扼殺創新，並且未能為SEC 對加密貨幣領域的監管提供明確、主動的指導。

According to industry experts, the intense focus on Gensler may促使the SEC to adopt a softer approach to avoid further antagonizing the crypto ecosystem. The outcomes of the pending cases between the SEC and the various crypto entities remain to be seen.

產業專家表示，對 Gensler 的強烈關注可能會促使 SEC 採取更溫和的方法，以避免進一步對抗加密生態系統。 SEC 與各個加密貨幣實體之間的未決案件的結果仍有待觀察。
