美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 的威尔斯通知强调了更清晰的加密货币监管的必要性

知名区块链游戏公司 Immutable 近日透露，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 发出威尔斯通知，表示打算对涉嫌违反证券法的行为寻求执法行动。

Immutable, a leading blockchain gaming company, has recently come under the regulatory scanner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC has sent a Wells Notice to Immutable, indicating its intention to pursue enforcement action for alleged securities law violations.

Immutable 是一家领先的区块链游戏公司，最近受到美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 的监管审查。美国证券交易委员会已向 Immutable 发出 Wells 通知，表明其打算对涉嫌违反证券法的行为采取执法行动。

The regulator's focus on Immutable's token sale and private listing in 2021 raises questions about the regulatory compliance of the token's initial offering. The SEC maintains that Immutable's IMX token could qualify as a security.

监管机构对 Immutable 2021 年代币销售和私募上市的关注引发了人们对该代币首次发行的监管合规性的质疑。 SEC 认为 Immutable 的 IMX 代币符合证券资格。

As Immutable navigates these claims under regulatory scrutiny, the SEC suggests that the company's earlier statements on the nature of IMX may have been misleading.

由于 Immutable 在监管审查下处理这些主张，SEC 表示该公司之前关于 IMX 性质的声明可能具有误导性。

Immutable Joins a Growing List of Crypto Firms Facing SEC Scrutiny

When the SEC believes a company may have violated securities laws, it typically follows a formal process known as the Wells Notice procedure. This notice provides the recipient with an opportunity to respond before official action is initiated, allowing them to clarify or contest the alleged violations.

当美国证券交易委员会认为一家公司可能违反了证券法时，它通常会遵循称为“威尔斯通知程序”的正式程序。该通知为接收者提供了在正式采取行动之前做出回应的机会，使他们能够澄清或质疑所指控的违规行为。

In response, Immutable has maintained that IMX is not to be considered a security. The company argues that the token's utility within its gaming ecosystem sets it apart from traditional securities, reflecting a broader point of contention between blockchain innovators and regulatory bodies over the classification of digital assets.

作为回应，Immutable 坚称 IMX 不应被视为证券。该公司认为，该代币在其游戏生态系统中的实用性使其有别于传统证券，反映了区块链创新者和监管机构之间关于数字资产分类的更广泛的争论点。

This development adds Immutable to a growing list of blockchain and crypto companies that have received Wells notices in recent times. Notably, the SEC has also sent similar notices to companies like Robinhood Crypto and Uniswap Labs, alleging potential securities law violations and initiating broader investigations into the structure and nature of digital assets.

这一进展将 Immutable 添加到了越来越多最近收到 Wells 通知的区块链和加密公司名单中。值得注意的是，美国证券交易委员会还向 Robinhood Crypto 和 Uniswap Labs 等公司发出了类似的通知，指控其可能违反证券法，并对数字资产的结构和性质发起更广泛的调查。

Despite industry pleas for a tailored regulatory framework, each case highlights the SEC's increasing efforts to apply existing securities laws throughout the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors.

尽管业界呼吁制定量身定制的监管框架，但每个案例都凸显了 SEC 不断努力在整个区块链和加密货币领域应用现有证券法。

These legal hurdles pose significant challenges for companies, especially as they navigate shifting legal interpretations while innovating in decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and blockchain-based applications.

这些法律障碍给公司带来了重大挑战，特别是当他们在去中心化金融（DeFi）、NFT 和基于区块链的应用程序创新时应对不断变化的法律解释。

Crypto Industry Awaits Clearer Compliance Guidelines

加密行业等待更清晰的合规准则

Immutable's stance echoes a broader sentiment within the blockchain community, highlighting the need for clearer compliance guidelines. Without precise definitions or legal clarifications, many crypto entities argue that they are left in a precarious position, facing potential legal challenges for adhering to one interpretation of the law only to be penalized by another.

Immutable 的立场呼应了区块链社区内更广泛的情绪，强调需要更清晰的合规指南。由于没有准确的定义或法律澄清，许多加密货币实体认为自己处于不稳定的境地，面临潜在的法律挑战，因为遵守一种法律解释只会受到另一种法律解释的惩罚。

Immutable's position reflects the industry's demand for regulatory authorities to establish clear criteria that distinguish different types of digital assets and their varied use cases.

Immutable 的立场反映了行业对监管机构建立明确标准来区分不同类型的数字资产及其不同用例的需求。

The SEC's latest move has sent the Immutable token, IMX, on a downward spiral. At the time of writing, IMX is trading at around $1.17, down 13.90% in the last 24 hours.

SEC 的最新举措使不可变代币 IMX 陷入螺旋式下降。截至撰写本文时，IMX 的交易价格约为 1.17 美元，过去 24 小时内下跌 13.90%。

In related news, CNF reported that the leading NFT platform, OpenSea, has also received a Wells Notice from the SEC. The notice indicates that the SEC is considering legal action on the premise that NFTs on OpenSea's platform may be securities.

相关消息中，CNF 报道称，领先的 NFT 平台 OpenSea 也收到了 SEC 的 Wells 通知。该通知表明，SEC 正在考虑采取法律行动，前提是 OpenSea 平台上的 NFT 可能是证券。

OpenSea has responded by allocating $5 million to its legal defense fund, asserting its challenge to the SEC's claim and maintaining that NFTs should not be classified as securities.

OpenSea 做出回应，向其法律辩护基金拨款 500 万美元，对 SEC 的主张提出质疑，并坚持认为 NFT 不应被归类为证券。
