SEC公司财务部表示，大多数模因硬币不是证券

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）公司融资部（2月28日）表示，大多数模因硬币不是证券。

The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Division of Corporation Finance has stated that most meme coins are not securities.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）公司财务部（SEC）表示，大多数模因硬币不是证券。

The Division said in a staff statement that most meme coins are more like collectibles and are often said to be for entertainment and other non-functional purposes.

该部门在一份员工声明中说，大多数模因硬币更像是收藏品，通常据说是出于娱乐和其他非功能目的。

"It is the Division's view that transactions in the types of meme coins described in this statement, do not involve the offer and sale of securities under the federal securities laws," the statement said. "As such, persons who participate in the offer and sale of meme coins do not need to register their transactions with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 ('Securities Act') or fall within one of the Securities Act's exemptions from registration. Accordingly, neither meme coin purchasers nor holders are protected by the federal securities laws."

声明说：“该部门的观点是，本声明中描述的模因硬币类型的交易不涉及根据联邦证券法的要约和销售。” “因此，参加和销售模因硬币的人不需要根据1933年的《证券法》（'证券法案'）或属于《证券法》豁免的一项豁免登记的人。相应地，模因币购买者和持有人都不受联邦证券法的影响。”

The statement noted that this represents the views of the Division's staff and is not a rule, regulation, guidance or statement of the SEC. It added that the determination of whether a specific meme coin is a security depends on the coin and how it is sold.

声明指出，这代表了该部门工作人员的观点，这不是SEC的规则，法规，指导或声明。它补充说，确定特定模因硬币是否是安全性取决于硬币及其出售方式。

"Further, although the offer and sale of meme coins may not be subject to the federal securities laws, fraudulent conduct related to the offer and sale of meme coins may be subject to enforcement action or prosecution by other federal or state agencies under other federal and state laws," the statement said.

声明说：“此外，尽管模因硬币的要约和销售可能不受联邦证券法的约束，但根据其他联邦和州法律，与其他联邦或州机构有关的欺诈行为可能会受到其他联邦或州法律的起诉。”

This statement comes a day after the SEC dismissed its pending civil enforcement action against cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and said it is working to reform its regulatory approach to the crypto industry. The SEC sued Coinbase in June 2023, alleging that the crypto exchange violated securities laws.

该声明是在美国证券交易委员会（SEC）驳回其对加密货币交易所的未决民事执法行动后的第二天发表的，并表示正在努力改革其对加密工业的监管方法。 SEC于2023年6月起诉Coinbase，指控加密货币交易所违反了证券法。

On Monday, Robinhood said it got a letter from the SEC informing the company that the commission concluded its investigation into Robinhood's cryptocurrency unit and had no plans to follow up with enforcement action.

周一，罗宾希德（Robinhood）表示，已收到SEC的一封信，告知公司，该委员会对Robinhood的加密货币部门进行了调查，并且没有计划跟进执法行动。

When the SEC announced its launch of a crypto task force on Jan. 21, the commission said the task force will focus on developing a "comprehensive and clear" regulatory framework for crypto assets.

当SEC在1月21日宣布推出加密货币工作队时，该委员会表示，该工作组将专注于为加密资产开发“全面，清晰”的监管框架。
