Web3 遊戲平台 Immutable 收到 SEC 的 Wells 通知

Immutable 是 Web3 遊戲領域的領先平台，最近收到了來自美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的 Wells 通知

Web3 gaming platform Immutable has received a Wells notice from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), hinting at potential enforcement action over allegations of securities law violations.

Web3 遊戲平台 Immutable 已收到美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的 Wells 通知，暗示可能對違反證券法的指控採取執法行動。

The notice, issued shortly after Immutable’s first interaction with the SEC, pertains to the IMX token, which was launched by the gaming platform in 2021.

該通知是在 Immutable 與 SEC 首次互動後不久發布的，涉及該遊戲平台於 2021 年推出的 IMX 代幣。

The development has raised concerns within the industry, especially given the timing of the notice, which suggests a hurried “regulation by enforcement” approach.

這一事態發展引起了業界的擔憂，特別是考慮到該通知的發佈時間，這表明要採取倉促的「執法監管」方式。

The SEC’s increased scrutiny of digital gaming assets also adds to the ongoing regulatory tension, with major elections around the corner.

隨著重大選舉即將到來，美國證券交易委員會加強對數位遊戲資產的審查也加劇了持續的監管緊張。

The Wells notice, which is typically issued by the SEC to provide an opportunity for a company to respond before facing formal enforcement, pertains to the classification of the IMX token.

Wells 通知通常由 SEC 發布，為公司在面臨正式執法之前提供回應的機會，涉及 IMX 代幣的分類。

The SEC appears to be alleging that the IMX token might be deemed a security, a determination that would have significant regulatory implications.

美國證券交易委員會似乎聲稱 IMX 代幣可能被視為一種證券，這項決定將產生重大的監管影響。

However, Immutable maintains that the IMX token does not meet the criteria for a security, based on established regulatory standards.

然而，Immutable 認為，根據既定的監管標準，IMX 代幣不符合證券標準。

Despite the brevity of the communication from the SEC, which reportedly spans barely 20 words, Immutable has expressed concerns about the regulatory body’s seemingly expedited approach.

儘管 SEC 的溝通很簡短（據報導只有 20 個字），但 Immutable 仍對監管機構看似快速的做法表示擔憂。

The company's statement highlights the limited interaction with the SEC before receiving the Wells notice, which is raising eyebrows within the industry.

該公司的聲明強調了在收到 Wells 通知之前與 SEC 的互動有限，這引起了業界的關注。

Immutable's case is not isolated, as other key players in the digital asset sector have also been encountering increased scrutiny from the SEC.

Immutable 的案例並不是孤立的，因為數位資產領域的其他主要參與者也受到了 SEC 更嚴格的審查。

Major companies, including Coinbase, ConsenSys, Uniswap, OpenSea, and Crypto.com, have faced regulatory actions in recent months, as the SEC expands its oversight to include Web3 gaming platforms.

隨著 SEC 將監管範圍擴大到包括 Web3 遊戲平台，Coinbase、ConsenSys、Uniswap、OpenSea 和 Crypto.com 等主要公司近幾個月都面臨監管行動。

As Immutable rallies to defend its token’s regulatory status, the company also remains steadfast in its mission to empower gamers with digital asset ownership.

在 Immutable 集會捍衛其代幣的監管地位的同時，該公司也堅定不移地履行其賦予遊戲玩家數位資產所有權的使命。

This clash between Immutable and the SEC is expected to shed light on the future of digital assets and decentralized finance within the current regulatory framework.

Immutable 和 SEC 之間的衝突預計將揭示當前監管框架內數位資產和去中心化金融的未來。

Immutable's clash with the SEC over the IMX token's classification is part of a broader dissatisfaction within the crypto industry regarding what they perceive as regulatory “overreach.”

Immutable 與 SEC 就 IMX 代幣分類問題發生的衝突是加密行業內更廣泛的不滿情緒的一部分，他們認為監管「越權」。

In recent years, several crypto companies have pushed back against regulatory actions, achieving some notable victories.

近年來，多家加密貨幣公司抵制了監管行動，並取得了一些顯著的勝利。

Among the significant wins, a judge ruled in 2023 that XRP, the native token of Ripple, is not a security, while ConsenSys successfully concluded an SEC probe into Ether (ETH), and Grayscale Investments won a lawsuit over the SEC’s refusal of its crypto ETF proposal.

在重大勝利中，法官在 2023 年裁定 Ripple 的原生代幣 XRP 不是證券，ConsenSys 成功結束了 SEC 對以太坊 (ETH) 的調查，Grayscale Investments 贏得了針對 SEC 拒絕其加密貨幣的訴訟ETF提案。

On the other hand, several crypto firms have also faced hefty fines from the SEC for non-registration of digital asset securities, highlighting the varying regulatory outcomes.

另一方面，一些加密貨幣公司也因未註冊數位資產證券而面臨美國證券交易委員會的巨額罰款，凸顯了不同的監管結果。

These regulatory challenges, often leading to lawsuits, are argued by crypto industry critics to be stifling innovation.

這些監管挑戰通常會導致訴訟，加密產業批評者認為這些挑戰正在扼殺創新。

Immutable, like other crypto companies, also points to the high costs of defending against these enforcement actions, which they claim diverts resources away from technological development.

與其他加密貨幣公司一樣，Immutable 也指出，防禦這些執法行動的成本很高，他們聲稱這些執法行動會轉移技術開發的資源。

Startups, in particular, face significant financial strain as legal expenses mount, creating a landscape marked by uncertainty.

隨著法律費用的增加，新創企業尤其面臨巨大的財務壓力，形成了一個充滿不確定性的環境。

As the dust settles on another SEC notice to a major crypto company, this ongoing legal friction raises questions about whether regulatory efforts serve as a protective measure or an impediment to innovation.

隨著美國證券交易委員會向一家大型加密貨幣公司發出的另一份通知塵埃落定，這種持續的法律摩擦引發了人們的疑問：監管措施是一種保護措施還是創新的障礙。

The fate of digital assets and decentralized finance within the current regulatory framework remains a subject of critical importance.

當前監管框架內數位資產和去中心化金融的命運仍然是一個至關重要的主題。
