佛蒙特州對Coinbase的訴訟在其裁決計劃中撤銷了訴訟

該決定與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的類似舉動保持一致。

Vermont has officially withdrawn its legal action against Coinbase, which accused the crypto exchange of offering unregistered securities through its staking program.

佛蒙特州已正式撤回其針對Coinbase的法律訴訟，該案件指責加密貨幣交換通過其Staking計劃提供未註冊的證券。

In a court filing on March 13, Vermont’s Department of Financial Regulation stated that the decision aligns with a similar move by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

在3月13日的法院文件中，佛蒙特州的金融法規指出，該決定與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的類似舉動一致。

The regulator acknowledged that the SEC’s new crypto task force will play a key role in shaping future policies for digital assets. As a result, Vermont has chosen to step back while awaiting more explicit regulatory guidelines.

監管機構承認，SEC的新加密特遣部隊將在製定數字資產的未來政策中發揮關鍵作用。結果，佛蒙特州選擇退後一步，同時等待更明確的監管準則。

According to the filing:

根據文件：

“In light of the dismissal of the Federal Action and likelihood of new federal regulatory guidance, the Division believes it would be most efficient and in the best interests of justice to rescind the pending Show Cause Order, without prejudice.”

“鑑於駁回聯邦行動和新聯邦監管指導的可能性，該司認為，取消待定的出現命令，而不會偏見，這將是最有效的，並且為了正義的最大利益。”

Vermont was one of ten US states, including Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, and New Jersey, that launched legal action against Coinbase in 2023. At the time, the states argued that the exchange’s staking services met the legal definition of securities under their respective laws.

佛蒙特州是美國十個州之一，包括阿拉巴馬州，伊利諾伊州，肯塔基州，馬里蘭州和新澤西州，該州於2023年對Coinbase啟動了法律行動。

Coinbase’s reaction

Coinbase的反應

Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, welcomed the development, emphasizing that it reinforces the company’s long-held position that staking does not constitute a security.

Coinbase的首席法律官Paul Grewal歡迎這一發展，強調，它加強了該公司長期以來的立場，即Staking並不構成安全。

Over the years, Coinbase has consistently rejected claims that its staking services fall under securities laws. The company argues that staking is essential for blockchain security and does not meet the legal criteria outlined in the US Securities Act or the Howey Test.

多年來，Coinbase一直拒絕主張其股份屬於證券法。該公司認為，Staking對於區塊鏈安全至關重要，並且不符合《美國證券法》或Howey測試中概述的法律標準。

The exchange further stressed that staking is fundamental to the functionality of many blockchain networks, offering security, decentralization, and environmental benefits.

交流進一步強調，Staking對於許多區塊鍊網絡的功能至關重要，提供安全性，權力下放和環境利益。

Considering this, he commended Vermont for recognizing the importance of regulatory clarity for digital asset holders.

考慮到這一點，他讚揚佛蒙特州認識到法規清晰度對數字資產持有人的重要性。

Grewal stated:

格雷瓦爾說：

“Our work isn’t over. Congress must seize the bipartisan momentum we’re seeing across the House and Senate to pass comprehensive legislation that takes into account the novel features of digital assets, such as staking.”

“我們的工作還沒有結束。國會必須抓住我們在整個眾議院和參議院看到的兩黨勢頭，以通過全面的立法，考慮到數字資產的新穎特徵，例如Statiking。”

Grewal also urged other states with pending cases against Coinbase to follow Vermont’s lead and drop their lawsuits.

格雷瓦爾還敦促其他國家針對Coinbase的案件遵循佛蒙特州的領導並撤銷其訴訟。
