美國證券交易委員會周四澄清說，紀念物不屬於聯邦證券法的權限

SEC的公司財務部在新聞稿中指出的是受互聯網模因啟發的加密貨幣

The Securities and Exchange Commission clarified on Thursday that memecoins are generally outside the federal securities laws, but any fraudulent activities involving such assets could still face legal consequences.

美國證券交易委員會周四澄清說，紀念物通常不在聯邦證券法律之內，但是任何涉及此類資產的欺詐活動仍然可能面臨法律後果。

What Happened: The SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance explained in a press release that cryptocurrencies bearing the likeness of internet memes, characters, or current trends, and offering limited or no functionality, are not securities.

發生的事情：SEC的公司財務部在新聞稿中解釋了，該新聞稿具有互聯網模因，角色或當前趨勢以及提供有限或無功能的加密貨幣，不是證券。

This also meant that parties involved in meme coin transactions wouldn't be covered by federal securities laws.

這也意味著聯邦證券法不會涵蓋參與模因硬幣交易的各方。

"The offer and sale of meme coins does not involve an investment in an enterprise, nor is it undertaken with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others," the statement went on to say, adding that the asset doesn't meet the Howey Test guidelines.

該聲明繼續說：“ Meme硬幣的要約和銷售不涉及對企業的投資，也沒有對他人的企業家或管理工作的合理期望進行。”

However, the SEC did note that the statement wouldn't apply to assets falsely labeled meme coins to circumvent the laws. In such a case, the SEC will "evaluate the economic realities" of the project.

但是，SEC確實指出，該陳述不適用於虛假標記的模因硬幣來規避法律。在這種情況下，SEC將“評估該項目的經濟現實”。

The announcement comes as the volume of memecoins has surged, with January marking a new high of over 600,000 new tokens launched in a single month.

這一消息是隨著Memecoins的湧動，一月份的新高點在一個月內推出了60萬多個新令牌。

Earlier this month, Hester Peirce, the head of the SEC’s cryptocurrency task force, said that most memecoins may fall outside the agency’s jurisdiction.

本月初，SEC加密貨幣工作隊負責人Hester Peirce表示，大多數成員可能屬於該機構管轄範圍。

The memecoin trend also saw former President Donald Trump, who promised a more relaxed regulatory environment for digital assets during his administration, launching his Official Trump TRUMP/USD token just ahead of his inauguration last month. This was followed by the launch of the Official Melania MELANIA/USD token by First Lady Melania Trump.

Memecoin趨勢還看到前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）承諾在政府期間為數字資產提供更輕鬆的監管環境，並在上個月就職之前推出了他的官方特朗普/USD代幣。接下來是第一夫人梅拉尼亞·特朗普（Melania Trump）官方的梅拉尼亞·梅拉尼亞（Melania Melania）/美元代幣。

Community-driven meme coins like Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Pepe PEPE/USD have also been a hit with enthusiasts, generating returns of 102% and 183% over the past year, respectively.

諸如Dogecoin Doge/USD和Pepe Pepe/USD之類的社區驅動的模因硬幣也受到愛好者的熱烈歡迎，在過去一年中，回報率分別為102％和183％。
