SEC结束Opensea探测器，NFT平台确认Sea Doken Airdrop：彭博社

Opensea表示，据彭博社报道，美国证券交易委员会已经结束了对NFT市场的调查。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has closed its investigation into OpenSea, according to a report by Bloomberg on Friday. The development comes weeks after the non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace confirmed plans for a SEA token airdrop.

彭博社上的一份报告显示，美国证券交易委员会已关闭对Opensea的调查。该开发项目是在不可杀死的令牌（NFT）市场确认了Sea Doken Airdrop的计划之后的几周。

Earlier this year, the SEC was reported to have sent a Wells notice to OpenSea, a formal letter indicating that it is considering taking enforcement action against a firm and offering an opportunity to respond.

据报道，今年早些时候，SEC已向Opensea发送了一份井通知，这是一封正式信件，表明它正在考虑针对公司采取执法行动并提供回应的机会。

The move comes shortly after the SEC decided to dismiss its case against Coinbase, which the exchange announced on Friday morning. The back-to-back announcements on Friday suggest the SEC may pull back from a number of its ongoing crypto-related investigations and lawsuits.

此举是在美国证券交易委员会决定驳回对Coinbase的案件后不久进行的。周五的背靠背公告表明，SEC可能会从许多与加密相关的调查和诉讼中退缩。

In August, OpenSea received a “Wells notice,” a formal letter sent by the securities watchdog indicating that it is considering taking enforcement action against a firm and offering an opportunity to respond. It now appears the agency — which acted aggressively in an attempt to reign in the crypto industry under former Chairman Gary Gensler — is now working to reset its stance towards crypto under a new, pro-crypto presidential administration.

8月，Opensea收到了“ Wells通知”，这是证券监管机构发送的正式信件，表明它正在考虑对公司采取执法行动并提供回应的机会。现在看来，该机构（在前主席加里·贡斯勒（Gary Gensler）领导下的加密货币行业）中采取了积极行动 - 现在正在努力将其在新的，亲克莱斯托的新总统管理下重置对加密货币的立场。

Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda has tasked fellow Republican Commissioner Hester Peirce, who was an often dissenting voice against SEC enforcement actions taken against crypto firms and protocols — with leading a “crypto task force” that will develop new industry guidelines.

代理主席马克·T·乌耶达（Mark T.

Peirce's task force has reportedly been engaging with a number of firms previously targeted by the SEC, and has also taken meetings with firms to discuss niche issues like approving “staking ETFs” to trade. Throughout Gensler’s tenure, the agency sent Wells notices to a number of centralized and decentralized platforms including Robinhood and Uniswap, respectively.

据报道，Peirce的工作队一直在与SEC先前针对的许多公司互动，并且还与公司开会，讨论了诸如批准“存放ETF”进行贸易的利基问题。在整个Gensler的任期中，该机构分别向包括Robinhood和Uniswap在内的许多集中式和分散的平台发送了Wells通知。

Like many of the SEC’s former policies, airdrops existed in a gray zone. In September, for instance, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Patrick McHenry (NC-10) and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-06) sent a letter to the SEC seeking clarity on the classification of crypto airdrops arguing, in part, the regulatory uncertainty harmed U.S. investors who were often cut off from distributions.

像SEC许多以前的政策一样，气流也存在于灰色区域。例如，9月，众议院金融服务委员会主席帕特里克·麦克亨利（NC-10）和众议院多数鞭子汤姆·埃默（MN-06）向SEC发送了一封信，以寻求对加密式空投的分类，部分原因是辩论的是监管不确定性损害了经常被隔离的美国投资者。

According to the announcement, the SEC confirmed that it doesn’t recommend an enforcement action against OpenSea, which was told last year that the non-fungible tokens listed on the platform were unregistered securities. At the time, OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer called the action “a sweeping move against creators and artists” and that he was “ready to stand up and fight.”

据该消息称，SEC确认它不建议针对Opensea采取执法行动，该行动去年被告知，该平台上列出的不可杀菌的代币是未注册的证券。当时，Opensea首席执行官Devin Finzer称这一行动为“对创作者和艺术家的一场动作”，他“准备站起来并战斗”。

This is not the first time the agency has dropped an investigation. Last year, for instance, it ended a probe of stablecoin issuer Paxos’ dollar-backed BUSD stablecoin. Consensys, the Ethereum development studio, also said the SEC agreed to drop an investigation of “Ethereum 2.0,” an outdated term for the network’s switch to proof-of-stake.

这不是该机构第一次进行调查。例如，去年，它结束了对Stablecoin发行人Paxos的美元支持的Busd Stablecoin的调查。以太坊开发工作室共同体也表示，SEC同意放弃对“以太坊2.0”的调查，这是该网络转换为利用证明的过时术语。
