Tron 基金會針對 SEC 訴訟進行辯護，挑戰管轄權和代幣分類

Tron 基金會駁斥了 SEC 在針對孫宇晨及其關聯公司的訴訟中的主張，認為 SEC 試圖監管外國被告，從而超越了其管轄權。 Tron 辯稱，TRX 和 BTT 不符合 Howey 測試中概述的標準，因此不能被歸類為證券，儘管 SEC 指控未註冊發行、操縱交易和非法促銷。

Tron Foundation Defends Itself Against SEC Lawsuit, Questions Jurisdiction and Classification of TRX and BTT

Tron 基金會針對 SEC 訴訟進行辯護，質疑 TRX 和 BTT 的管轄權和分類

New York, March 28, 2023 - The Tron Foundation has vehemently refuted the allegations made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a subpoena issued to Justin Sun, the Tron Foundation, and affiliated entities. In a comprehensive 62-page filing submitted to a New York federal court today, Tron's legal team meticulously dismantles the SEC's claims, arguing that the agency has overstepped its jurisdiction and mischaracterized the nature of Tron's cryptocurrency offerings.

紐約，2023 年 3 月 28 日 - Tron 基金會強烈反駁了美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 在向孫宇晨、Tron 基金會及其附屬實體發出的傳票中提出的指控。在今天提交給紐約聯邦法院的一份長達 62 頁的文件中，Tron 的法律團隊精心駁斥了 SEC 的指控，認為該機構超越了其管轄權，並錯誤地描述了 Tron 加密貨幣產品的性質。

SEC's Overreach and Extraterritoriality

SEC 的越權與治外法權

Tron's lawyers contend that the SEC's attempt to regulate "foreign defendants" without a clear congressional mandate constitutes an unprecedented expansion of authority. The Tron Foundation and its affiliates are incorporated outside the United States and do not conduct any business within the country's borders. Thus, Tron argues that the SEC lacks jurisdiction to regulate their activities.

Tron 的律師認為，美國證券交易委員會在沒有國會明確授權的情況下試圖監管“外國被告”，這構成了前所未有的權力擴張。 Tron 基金會及其附屬機構在美國境外註冊成立，並未在美國境內開展任何業務。因此，Tron 認為 SEC 缺乏監管其活動的管轄權。

"The SEC's assertion that it can regulate foreign entities simply because they may have some connection to the US market is not supported by law," said Justin Sun, founder and CEO of Tron. "This is a dangerous precedent that could stifle innovation and economic growth in the global digital asset industry."

Tron 創始人兼首席執行官孫宇晨表示：“美國證券交易委員會聲稱它可以僅僅因為外國實體可能與美國市場有某種聯繫就對其進行監管，這一說法並沒有得到法律支持。” “這是一個危險的先例，可能會扼殺全球數位資產行業的創新和經濟成長。”

Failure to Meet the Howey Test

未能滿足 Howey 測試

The SEC had previously alleged that TRX and BTT, two digital assets issued by Tron, are securities that were sold to US investors in unregistered offerings. However, Tron argues that neither token meets the criteria outlined in the Howey Test, the Supreme Court precedent used to determine whether an investment contract constitutes a security.

SEC 先前曾指控 Tron 發行的兩種數位資產 TRX 和 BTT 是透過未經註冊的發行方式向美國投資者出售的證券。然而，Tron 辯稱，這兩種代幣都不符合 Howey 測試中概述的標準，Howey 測試是最高法院用來確定投資合約是否構成證券的判例。

"TRX and BTT are utility tokens that were sold to fund the development and growth of the Tron ecosystem," said Justin Sun. "They do not provide investors with any rights or expectations of profit, and thus do not qualify as securities under the law."

「TRX 和 BTT 是實用代幣，出售的目的是為 Tron 生態系統的發展和增長提供資金，」孫宇晨說。 “它們不向投資者提供任何權利或利潤預期，因此不符合法律規定的證券資格。”

Lack of Evidence of Manipulative Trading

缺乏操縱交易的證據

The SEC also accused Mr. Sun of engaging in manipulative wash trading to artificially inflate the price of TRX. However, Tron's lawyers assert that the SEC has failed to provide any evidence to support this claim.

SEC 還指控孫先生參與操縱清洗交易，人為抬高 TRX 的價格。然而，Tron 的律師聲稱 SEC 未能提供任何證據來支持這一說法。

"The SEC's allegations are baseless and defamatory," said Justin Sun. "We are confident that a court will ultimately dismiss these charges."

「美國證券交易委員會的指控毫無根據且具有誹謗性，」孫宇晨表示。 “我們相信法院最終會駁回這些指控。”

Tron's Attractiveness to Criminals

波場對犯罪者的吸引力

Tron's response to the SEC lawsuit comes at a time when a report by TRM Labs has raised concerns about the use of the Tron blockchain for illicit activities. The report alleges that Tron accounts for a significant portion of illicit cryptocurrency transactions in 2023, and that Tron-based USDT has become a preferred token for North Korea-based hackers.

Tron 對 SEC 訴訟做出回應之際，TRM Labs 的一份報告引發了人們對使用 Tron 區塊鏈進行非法活動的擔憂。該報告稱，2023 年，波場 (Tron) 佔非法加密貨幣交易的很大一部分，基於波場 (Tron) 的 USDT 已成為北韓駭客的首選代幣。

"We are aware of these allegations and are taking steps to address them," said Justin Sun. "We have implemented robust anti-money laundering and know-your-customer procedures, and we are committed to preventing our platform from being used for illegal activities."

「我們意識到這些指控，並正在採取措施解決這些問題，」孫宇晨說。 “我們已經實施了強有力的反洗錢和了解你的客戶程序，我們致力於防止我們的平台被用於非法活動。”

Conclusion

結論

Tron's legal filing represents a comprehensive and vigorous defense against the SEC's allegations. The Tron Foundation and its affiliates remain confident that the court will recognize the legitimacy of their operations and dismiss the charges against them.

Tron 的法律文件代表了對 SEC 指控的全面而有力的辯護。 Tron 基金會及其附屬機構仍然相信法院將承認其運營的合法性並駁回對他們的指控。

"We are confident that we have a strong case and that we will ultimately prevail," said Justin Sun. "We believe that the SEC's overreach in this case is a threat to the entire digital asset industry, and we are determined to fight back."

「我們有信心，我們有充分的理由，我們最終會獲勝，」孫宇晨說。 “我們認為，SEC 在本案中的越權行為對整個數位資產行業構成威脅，我們決心反擊。”
