Constancy Files for Spot Ether ETF with Staking

Constancy 申请带质押的现货以太 ETF

Constancy Investments, a financial services giant, has filed an S-1 application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a spot Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF). The proposed ETF would allow investors to gain exposure to Ether (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, without having to purchase and hold the asset directly. Notably, the ETF will also provide the option for investors to stake a portion of their ETH holdings, offering the potential for passive income. The filing represents a significant step towards mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency assets.

金融服务巨头 Constancy Investments 已向美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 提交 S-1 申请，推出现货以太币交易所交易基金 (ETF)。拟议的 ETF 将允许投资者获得以太坊 (ETH) 的投资，而以太坊是按市值计算的第二大加密货币，而无需直接购买和持有该资产。值得注意的是，该 ETF 还将为投资者提供抵押其持有的部分 ETH 的选项，从而提供被动收入的潜力。该文件代表着加密货币资产主流采用的重要一步。

SEC Lawsuit Against Coinbase Moves Forward

SEC 针对 Coinbase 的诉讼取得进展

In a major legal setback for Coinbase, a United States court has denied the company's motion to dismiss the SEC's lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange. The lawsuit alleges that Coinbase violated federal securities laws by listing 13 tokens that the SEC claims are securities. Coinbase had argued that the SEC lacked authority over cryptocurrency exchanges and that the tokens in question were not securities. The court's decision allows the SEC to pursue its case against Coinbase, a potentially significant development in the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency exchanges.

美国法院驳回了该公司驳回美国证券交易委员会针对该加密货币交易所提起的诉讼的动议，这对 Coinbase 来说是一次重大的法律挫折。该诉讼指控 Coinbase 列出 SEC 声称属于证券的 13 种代币，违反了联邦证券法。 Coinbase 辩称，美国证券交易委员会缺乏对加密货币交易的权威，而且相关代币不是证券。法院的裁决允许 SEC 继续针对 Coinbase 提起诉讼，这可能是加密货币交易所监管领域的重大进展。
