Opensea创始人庆祝SEC胜利，随着监管机构关闭其对NFT市场的调查

该调查始于2024年8月，围绕着Opensea促进出售未注册证券的指控。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially concluded its investigation into OpenSea, the leading non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, as confirmed by the platform’s founder.

该平台的创始人证实，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）已正式缔结了对领先的无牙（NFT）市场Opensea的调查。

This development marks a significant milestone for OpenSea as it navigates the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding digital assets and NFTs.

这种发展标志着Opensea的重要里程碑，因为它可以导航围绕数字资产和NFT的不断发展的监管景观。

Taking to Twitter, OpenSea founder Devin Finzer announced the SEC’s decision, highlighting its importance for the NFT industry.

Opensea创始人Devin Finzer宣布了SEC的决定，强调了其对NFT行业的重要性。

“The SEC is closing its investigation into OpenSea. This is a win for everyone who is creating and building in our space,” Finzer wrote.

SEC正在关闭对Opensea的调查。对于每个在我们的空间中创建和建造的人来说，这都是胜利。” Finzer写道。

“Trying to classify NFTs as securities would have been a step backward—one that misinterprets the law and slows innovation. Every creator, big or small, should be able to build freely without unnecessary barriers.”

“试图将NFT归类为证券本来是倒退的一步，一个误解了法律并减慢了创新。每个大小的创造者都应该能够在没有不必要的障碍的情况下自由地建造。”

As previously reported by Finzer had warned that labeling NFTs as securities could stifle innovation and hinder growth within the industry.

正如Finzer先前报道的那样，将NFT标记为证券可能会扼杀创新并阻碍行业内的增长。

However, the political landscape shifted when Donald Trump secured a second presidential term, with his administration taking a more crypto-friendly stance.

但是，当唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）获得第二个总统任期时，政治景观发生了变化，他的政府采取了更友好的立场。

Under the current SEC leadership, the investigation into OpenSea was closed—a move welcomed by industry leaders.

在当前的SEC领导下，对Opensea的调查被关闭了，这一举动受到行业领导者的欢迎。

“While we are competitors in the trenches, we share a deep belief in NFTs and what they will enable. Happy to see such a win for the space.”

SEC ends investigation with Coinbase

SEC结束了与Coinbase的调查

Interestingly, the SEC’s decision to conclude its investigation into OpenSea came just hours after it agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against crypto exchange Coinbase.

有趣的是，SEC决定对Opensea进行调查的决定是在同意驳回其针对加密交易所Coinbase的诉讼后仅数小时。

The lawsuit alleged that Coinbase is operating as an unregistered securities broker, a claim that the exchange has vehemently contested.

该诉讼称，Coinbase正在作为未注册的证券经纪人运行，声称该交易所激烈竞争。

After the news came in, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expressed optimism, predicting that the Commission would officially approve the dismissal by next week.

消息传来后，Coinbase首席执行官Brian Armstrong表示乐观，预测该委员会将在下周正式批准解雇。

“Once approved by the Commission (which we’re told to expect next week), this would be a full dismissal, with $0 in fines paid and zero changes to our business,” Armstrong stated.

阿姆斯特朗说：“一旦获得委员会的批准（我们被告知下周要预期），这将是一次完全解雇，罚款为0美元，我们的业务零变更为零。”

“Together, we showed the SEC that crypto is too important to shoehorn into outdated securities law.”

“一起，我们向SEC展示了加密货币太重要了，无法将其纳入过时的证券法。”

These developments suggest a more favorable regulatory environment for the crypto industry under the current SEC leadership.

这些事态发展表明，在当前的SEC领导下，加密行业的监管环境更为有利。
