Coinbase赢得了驳回SEC诉讼的驳回，表明在加密行业关系中解冻

今天上午，Coinbase宣布已与证券交易委员会（SEC）达成协议，该公司于2023年6月起诉该公司

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has agreed to fully dismiss its administrative lawsuit against Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange. The dismissal will come without any monetary penalties or changes to Coinbase's business practices.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）已同意完全驳回其针对主要的加密货币交易所Coinbase的行政诉讼。解雇将没有任何货币罚款或对Coinbase业务惯例的变化。

The SEC filed the lawsuit against Coinbase in June 2023, alleging that the exchange operated as an unlicensed national securities exchange and engaged in other violations. Coinbase has maintained that the SEC's allegations were unfounded and that the exchange was fully compliant with all applicable laws.

美国证券交易委员会于2023年6月对Coinbase提起诉讼，指控该交易所作为无授权的国家证券交易所运作并从事其他违法行为。 Coinbase坚持认为，SEC的指控是没有根据的，并且交易所完全符合所有适用法律。

The dismissal of the SEC's case is a significant victory for Coinbase and the cryptocurrency industry. The SEC's lawsuit against Coinbase was seen by many as an attempt by the agency to crack down on the crypto industry and assert its jurisdiction over digital assets.

SEC案的驳回是Coinbase和加密货币行业的重大胜利。 SEC针对Coinbase的诉讼被许多人视为该机构打击加密行业并主张其对数字资产的管辖权的尝试。

Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, said that the exchange was not interested in paying a fine but would not object if the SEC wanted to withdraw the case.

Coinbase的首席法律官Paul Grewal说，交易所不感兴趣支付罚款，但如果SEC想撤回此案，则不会反对。

“We were not looking to pay some fine. But if they [the SEC] wanted to right the wrong, admit that this was a huge mistake, and withdraw the case, we wouldn’t stand in their way. That’s what ultimately has come to pass today.”

“我们不想支付罚款。但是，如果他们[SEC]想纠正错误，承认这是一个巨大的错误，并撤回了案件，我们将不会妨碍他们的方式。这就是今天最终出现的事情。”

The dismissal of the SEC's case will now go before the three current commissioners for a vote next Thursday. The SEC declined to comment on the potential dismissal when reached for comment.

SEC案的驳回将在下周四面向三名现任专员进行投票。 SEC拒绝置评时对潜在解雇发表评论。

Coinbase decided to make the news public today because it will be filing an 8-K form with the SEC, which would have made the information public regardless. Companies registered with the SEC must file these forms to announce major events that shareholders should know about.

Coinbase今天决定将新闻公开，因为它将向SEC提交8-K表格，无论如何，这将使信息公开。在SEC注册的公司必须提交这些表格，以宣布股东应该知道的重大活动。

The fact that the case was dismissed with prejudice, as opposed to a settlement with even a nominal fine, is a massive win for the industry and a vindication of its view that the SEC’s position was unfair.

案件因偏见而不是以名义罚款而被驳回的事实是该行业的巨大胜利，并且认为SEC的立场是不公平的。

“They sued us without any basis in law. They sued us without telling us what the rules were,” Grewal says. “They dropped on Coinbase and the rest of the industry, effectively a tax on American innovation that cost hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars.”

“他们在法律上没有任何依据起诉我们。他们在不告诉我们规则是什么的情况下起诉我们。”格雷瓦尔说。 “他们落在了Coinbase和行业的其余部分上，实际上对美国创新征税，耗资数亿美元，甚至数十亿美元。”

The dismissal is also expected to pave the way for similar resolutions in the SEC's pending lawsuits against other cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms, including Binance, Kraken, and Uniswap. Grewal expressed hope that these firms will see similar resolutions in the near term.

预计，在SEC针对其他加密货币交易所和平台（包括Binance，Kraken和Uniswap）的其他诉讼中，解雇也将为类似决议铺平道路。格雷瓦尔（Grewal）表示希望这些公司在短期内会看到类似的决议。

“It’ll ultimately be up to the SEC and those other parties to kind of hammer that out,” he says. “But we think we’ve offered a template or a model for others to follow, and I’m confident we’re going to see peace across the industry break out in short order.”

他说：“最终将取决于SEC和其他各方的锤击。” “但是我们认为我们为其他人提供了一个模板或模型，我相信我们会在整个行业中看到和平爆发。”

One former SEC official familiar with the cases, who spoke to Unchained on the condition of anonymity agreed that similar dismissals are likely.

一位熟悉这些案件的前SEC官员在匿名的情况下与Unchained进行了交谈，他同意可能被驳回。

“I would think that if they are dismissing this, that we’ll see in the coming days all the other cases get dismissed. I don’t see how they can keep those cases.”

“我认为，如果他们解雇这一点，我们将在未来几天看到所有其他案件都被驳回。我看不出他们如何保留这些案件。”

A possible exception that the former official pointed to was the Binance case because that lawsuit, also filed in June 2023, contained allegations of fraud and manipulative trading that were not included in the other complaints. The former official noted that the SEC may be reluctant to drop those charges because they could lead to actual customer harm.

这位前官员指出的可能例外是义务案件，因为该诉讼也于2023年6月提起，其中包含有关其他投诉中未包括的欺诈和操纵交易的指控。这位前官员指出，SEC可能不愿放弃这些指控，因为它们可能会导致实际的客户伤害。

On February 13th a federal judge approved a joint request from Binance and the SEC to allow a 60-day pause on the case, citing a pending framework that could provide greater regulatory clarity for the industry.

2月13日，一位联邦法官批准了Binance和SEC的共同要求，以允许对该案件进行60天的停顿，理由是悬而未决的框架可以为该行业提供更大的监管清晰度。

Coinbase stock price rose by more than 5% in pre-market trading on the news of the SEC dismissal. Shares of Coinbase are up by more than 60% year-to-date.

在SEC解雇的新闻中，Coinbase股价在售前交易中上涨了5％以上。 Coinbase的股票年仅上涨了60％以上。
