加密货币企业家贾斯汀·孙 (Justin Sun) 在纽约拍卖会上以 620 万美元的价格购买了毛里齐奥·卡特兰 (Maurizio Cattelan) 的艺术品“喜剧演员”

Tron 创始人表示，他计划吃香蕉，并将这一行为描述为“独特的艺术体验”的一部分。

Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun has bought Maurizio Cattelan’s artwork Comedian — a banana duct-taped to a wall — for a whopping $6.2 million at a New York auction. The artwork, which includes instructions for replacing the banana as it rots and a certificate of authenticity, was sold by Sotheby’s. Bidding for the piece began at $800,000 and quickly escalated, with the final price far exceeding its $1–$1.5 million presale estimate. Sun outbid six others, paying $5.2 million plus $1 million in fees.

加密货币企业家贾斯汀·孙 (Justin Sun) 在纽约拍卖会上以高达 620 万美元的价格买下了毛里齐奥·卡特兰 (Maurizio Cattelan) 的艺术品《喜剧演员》(Comedian)——一根用胶带粘在墙上的香蕉。这件艺术品由苏富比拍卖行出售，其中包括腐烂香蕉的更换说明和真品证书。这件作品的起价为 80 万美元，并迅速升级，最终价格远远超出了 1 至 150 万美元的预售预估。 Sun 的出价比其他六家公司高出 520 万美元，外加 100 万美元的费用。

Comedian consists of a real banana affixed to a wall with duct tape, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and detailed instructions for replacing the fruit and tape as necessary. It is considered a reflection on modern values and the art market, according to Cattelan, who described it as a sincere commentary on “speed and business” dominating art fairs.

喜剧演员包括一个用胶带粘在墙上的真正的香蕉，并附有真品证书以及根据需要更换水果和胶带的详细说明。卡特兰表示，这被认为是对现代价值观和艺术市场的反映，他将其描述为对主导艺术博览会的“速度和商业”的真诚评论。

This isn’t the first time Comedian has been eaten. In 2019, artist David Datuna consumed the banana after it sold for $120,000 at Art Basel Miami. In 2022, a student in Seoul ate the piece, claiming hunger after skipping breakfast.

这并不是喜剧演员第一次被吃掉。 2019 年，艺术家大卫·达图纳 (David Datuna) 在迈阿密巴塞尔艺术展上以 12 万美元的价格售出了该香蕉后，将其食用。 2022 年，首尔的一名学生吃了这块东西，声称不吃早餐后感到饥饿。

Sun, the Tron founder, plans to eat the banana in the coming days, describing the act as part of a “unique artistic experience.” He shared his thoughts on the artwork in an X post on Nov. 21.

Tron 创始人孙计划在未来几天吃香蕉，并将这一行为描述为“独特的艺术体验”的一部分。他在 11 月 21 日的 X 帖子中分享了他对这件艺术品的看法。

“This is not just an artwork; it represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the cryptocurrency community,” wrote Sun.

“这不仅仅是一件艺术品；这是一件艺术品。”它代表了一种连接艺术、模因和加密货币社区的文化现象，”Sun 写道。

Sun’s purchase comes as he remains under scrutiny. The U.S. Justice Department is reportedly investigating him and Tether, while the SEC sued him in March 2023 over allegations of unregistered securities sales and wash trading of the Tron token, which Sun denies.

孙宇晨的收购是在他仍在接受审查之际进行的。据报道，美国司法部正在调查他和 Tether，而 SEC 则于 2023 年 3 月起诉他，指控其未经注册的证券销售和 Tron 代币的清洗交易，但 Sun 否认了这一点。

The case involves allegations that the Tron Foundation, along with the BitTorrent Foundation and Rainberry (formerly known as BitTorrent), violated securities laws. The SEC alleges that the Chinese entrepreneur and his companies conspired to distribute billions of crypto assets and artificially inflate trade volumes in order to lure in investors. The federal agency also claims that Sun manipulated the price of BitTorrent’s BTT token.

该案涉及 Tron 基金会、BitTorrent 基金会和 Rainberry（以前称为 BitTorrent）违反证券法的指控。美国证券交易委员会指控，这位中国企业家及其公司合谋分配数十亿美元的加密资产并人为夸大交易量以吸引投资者。该联邦机构还声称 Sun 操纵了 BitTorrent 的 BTT 代币的价格。

Tron’s defense argued that their main challenge focused on the third prong of the Howey test, which concerns the expectation of profits from the efforts of others. They claimed that the SEC’s request for an additional reply, or sur-reply, misrepresented their stance and was unwarranted.

Tron 的辩护称，他们的主要挑战集中在 Howey 测试的第三个方面，即从其他人的努力中获得利润的预期。他们声称，美国证券交易委员会要求额外答复或额外答复的要求歪曲了他们的立场，而且毫无根据。
