Eden Gallery 拒绝对 NFT 持有者的损失承担责任，认为应该驳回集体诉讼

国际艺术画廊 Eden Gallery 表示，一批 NFT 持有者“可能会有买家悔恨，但他们的损失（如果有的话）也是市场力量造成的”。

An international art gallery has stated that a group of NFT holders “may have buyers’ remorse, but their losses, if any, are due to market forces.”

一家国际艺术画廊表示，一群 NFT 持有者“可能会对买家感到悔恨，但他们的损失（如果有的话）也是市场力量造成的”。

Eden Gallery Group Ltd. is attempting to dismiss a class action lawsuit filed against the gallery over declining NFT prices. The gallery claims that the broader market downturn, not any fraud or misrepresentation on their part, is to blame for the losses.

Eden Gallery Group Ltd. 正试图驳回针对该画廊因 NFT 价格下跌而提起的集体诉讼。画廊声称，造成损失的原因是更广泛的市场低迷，而不是他们的任何欺诈或失实陈述。

“Plaintiffs may have buyers’ remorse (even though the NFTs were a digital art product rather than an investment product), but their losses, if any, are due to market forces,” Eden Gallery stated in the filing.

“原告可能会对买家感到悔恨（尽管 NFT 是一种数字艺术产品而不是投资产品），但他们的损失（如果有的话）也是由市场力量造成的，”Eden Gallery 在文件中表示。

The art gallery is being sued by a group of 36 people who bought “Meta Eagle Club” NFTs. They filed a lawsuit in October, accusing Eden Gallery and the artist Gal Yosef of fraud, unjust enrichment, and violating New York’s General Business Law.

该美术馆正在被 36 名购买“Meta Eagle Club”NFT 的人起诉。他们于 10 月提起诉讼，指控 Eden Gallery 和艺术家 Gal Yosef 欺诈、不当得利并违反纽约一般商业法。

The NFT holders claim that Eden Gallery and Yosef's project “was a rug pull.” The Meta Eagle Club NFT collection features 12,000 unique human-like eagles and raised $13 million from February 2022 to November 2023.

NFT 持有者声称 Eden Gallery 和 Yosef 的项目“是一个小动作”。 Meta Eagle Club NFT 系列拥有 12,000 只独特的类人鹰，从 2022 年 2 月到 2023 年 11 月筹集了 1300 万美元。

“NFTs were an extremely popular asset class when the Meta Eagle Club NFTs launched in early 2022, but the overall popularity of the NFT market subsequently declined,” Eden Gallery stated.

“当 Meta Eagle Club NFT 于 2022 年初推出时，NFT 是一种非常受欢迎的资产类别，但 NFT 市场的整体受欢迎程度随后下降，”Eden Gallery 表示。

The starting price for a Meta Eagle Club NFT is now 0.0051 ETH, or around $17, on OpenSea, down from 0.6 ETH, or about $1,800, when the NFTs were airdropped in February 2022.

Meta Eagle Club NFT 在 OpenSea 上的起始价格现在为 0.0051 ETH，约合 17 美元，低于 2022 年 2 月 NFT 空投时的 0.6 ETH，约合 1,800 美元。

The group of NFT owners alleges they overpaid for the NFTs due to misrepresentations by Eden Gallery and are seeking compensatory damages ranging from $1,224 to $70,219 per claimant.

NFT 所有者团体声称，由于 Eden Gallery 的虚假陈述，他们为 NFT 支付了过高的费用，并正在寻求每位索赔人 1,224 美元至 70,219 美元的赔偿损失。

However, the gallery also stated that each plaintiff's claim falls below the $75,000 jurisdictional threshold and that combining the claims is not permitted.

然而，画廊还表示，每个原告的索赔均低于 75,000 美元的管辖门槛，并且不允许合并索赔。

NFT sales have seen a recent uptick as the crypto market rallies, but the sector is still down 98% in US dollar sales volume from its early 2022 peak, according to industry analytics portal CryptoSlam.

根据行业分析门户网站 CryptoSlam 的数据，随着加密货币市场的反弹，NFT 销量近期有所上升，但该行业以美元计算的销量仍较 2022 年初的峰值下降了 98%。
