美国证券交易委员会（SEC）正在关闭对OpenSea的调查，并已对Coinbase诉讼

Opensea创始人兼首席执行官Devin Finzer在X上宣布了这一消息，称其为“胜利”，而监管机构最初将NFT归类为证券的尝试将是倒退的一步 - 一个误解了法律并减慢了创新。”

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has closed its investigation into OpenSea and dropped its lawsuit against Coinbase.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）已关闭对Opensea的调查，并撤销了针对Coinbase的诉讼。

OpenSea founder and CEO Devin Finzer announced the news on Monday, calling it a “win” and saying that the regulator's initial attempt to classify NFTs as securities "would have been a step backward—one that misinterprets the law and slows innovation."

Opensea创始人兼首席执行官Devin Finzer周一宣布了这一消息，称其为“胜利”，并说监管机构最初试图将NFT归类为证券的尝试“将是倒退的一步 - 一个误解了法律并减慢了创新。”

"The SEC is closing its investigation into @opensea. This is a win for everyone who is creating and building in our space. Trying to classify NFTs as securities would have been a step backward—one that misinterprets the law and slows innovation," Finzer wrote on X.

“ SEC正在关闭对@opensea的调查。对于在我们空间中创建和建造的每个人来说，这是一次胜利。试图将NFT归类为证券将是倒退的一步 - 一个误解了法律并减慢了创新，Finzers”写在X上。

Every creator, big or small, deserves a fair shot at building the future. We will continue working with regulators to find common ground and create a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. Together, we can unlock the full potential of Web3.

每个大小的创造者都应该在建立未来的情况下获得公平的镜头。我们将继续与监管机构合作以寻找共同点并为数字资产创建明确的监管框架。一起，我们可以解锁Web3的全部潜力。

In August, the SEC sent OpenSea a Wells Notice over the claim that NFTs on its platform are securities. A Wells Notice is typically sent before a formal lawsuit is filed.

8月，SEC向Opensea发送了Wells的通知，即其平台上的NFT是证券。井通常在提起正式诉讼之前发出通知。

Coinbase, Uniswap Labs, Ripple, Robinhood, Consensys, and BUSD issuer Paxos are among the increasing list of crypto firms that have received such notices.

Coinbase，Uniswap Labs，Ripple，Robinhood，Consensys和Busd发行人Paxos是收到此类通知的加密公司越来越多的清单。

Finzer said at the time that OpenSea is "Shocked the SEC would make such a sweeping move against creators and artists," and that the company will "stand up and fight," pledging $5 million to cover legal fees for NFT creators and developers who might also be issued with a notice.

Finzer说，当时Opensea“震惊了SEC将对创作者和艺术家采取如此巨大的举动”，并且该公司将“站起来并战斗”，承诺500万美元，以支付NFT创建者和开发商的法律费用也会发出通知。

Even competitor Magic Eden praised the SEC's decision to drop its case against OpenSea.

甚至竞争对手魔术师伊甸园也赞扬了SEC决定对Opensea的案件的决定。

"While we are competitors in the trenches, we share a deep belief in NFTs and what they will enable,” Chris Akhavan, the chief business officer of NFT marketplace Magic Eden said.

NFT Marketplace Magic Eden的首席业务官克里斯·阿卡万（Chris Akhavan）说：“尽管我们是战es的竞争对手，但我们对NFT及其启用的态度有着深切的信念。”

"We applaud the SEC for reconsidering their approach and ultimately deciding to drop the case against OpenSea. This decision aligns with the vast majority of legal experts and will ultimately benefit the entire NFT ecosystem. We remain hopeful that the SEC will continue to engage in constructive dialogue with the industry to establish clear and reasonable regulatory frameworks for digital assets."

“我们赞扬SEC重新考虑他们的方法并最终决定对OpenSea进行案件。该决定与绝大多数法律专家一致，并最终将受益于整个NFT生态系统。我们仍然希望SEC将继续进行建设性的建设性与行业对话，为数字资产建立清晰合理的监管框架。”

The move also comes as the SEC is set to drop its lawsuit against Coinbase, following what the exchange described as a change in “political leadership” at the agency.

此举也是因为SEC将遵循该机构中“政治领导”的变化而对Coinbase的诉讼。

According to Coinbase’s chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, the SEC has agreed “in principle” to dismiss the lawsuit, which accused the exchange of failing to register as a securities platform. The SEC is expected to vote on dismissing the lawsuit at some point this week.

根据Coinbase的首席法律官Paul Grewal的说法，SEC已同意“原则上”驳回该诉讼，该诉讼指控未能注册为证券平台。预计SEC将在本周某个时候驳回诉讼。

The regulator had sued Coinbase in June 2023, alleging that the exchange operated as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency.

监管机构于2023年6月起诉Coinbase，指控该交易所作为未注册的证券交易所，经纪和清算机构运作。

Earlier this month, the agency requested a four-week extension to respond to Coinbase's ongoing appeal from a lower court decision.

本月早些时候，该机构要求进行为期四周的延长，以回应Coinbase从下级法院的裁决中持续的上诉。

Coinbase had challenged a decision by District Judge Katherine Polk Failla, who found the SEC had presented a plausible case that Coinbase sold unregistered securities. The exchange is seeking judicial clarity on how securities laws apply to crypto.

Coinbase对地方法官凯瑟琳·波尔克·菲拉（Katherine Polk Failla）的决定提出了质疑，后者发现SEC提出了一个合理的案件，Coinbase出售了未注册的证券。交易所正在寻求有关证券法对加密货币的适用方式的司法清晰度。

Grewal suggested that a shift in leadership played a role in the SEC’s decision, hinting at changes in regulatory priorities under a new administration, and said that "what changed over those two years was the political leadership at the SEC,” implying that the agency’s regulatory stance has softened under President Donald Trump.

格雷瓦尔（Grewal）建议，领导层的转变在SEC的决定中发挥了作用，暗示了新政府领导下的监管优先事项的变化，并说：“这两年中发生的变化是SEC的政治领导力”，这意味着该机构的监管机构在唐纳德·特朗普总统的领导下，立场已经软化了。
