南卡罗来纳州驳回了针对与加密货币服务有关的共同案件的诉讼

南卡罗来纳州驳回了针对与股份服务有关的加密货币交易所共同基础的诉讼。该州总检察长的证券部正式撤销了该案

After nearly two years of legal battle, South Carolina has dismissed its lawsuit against cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase over crypto staking services.

经过将近两年的法律斗争，南卡罗来纳州驳回了针对加密货币的加密货币服务的诉讼。

The state’s Attorney General’s securities division officially dropped the case in a joint stipulation with the crypto company on March 27.

该州总检察长的证券司在3月27日与加密货币公司的联合规定中正式撤销了此案。

This makes South Carolina the second state to withdraw such legal action, following Vermont’s earlier this month.

这使南卡罗来纳州成为第二个法律行动的州，此前佛蒙特州本月初。

The lawsuit was part of a coordinated action by ten states, which sued Coinbase on June 6, 2023. These states accused the exchange of offering unregistered securities through its crypto staking services.

该诉讼是十个州协调诉讼的一部分，该州于2023年6月6日起诉Coinbase。这些州指责通过其加密货币制品服务提供未注册的证券。

Coinbase’s chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, celebrated the dismissal on social media.

Coinbase的首席法律官Paul Grewal庆祝了社交媒体上的解雇。

“South Carolina just joined Vermont to dismiss its unfounded staking lawsuit and return the state’s consumer protections to their original form,” Grewal wrote on X. “This is not just a victory for us, but for American consumers and we hope it’s a sign of things to come.”

格雷瓦尔（Grewal）在X上写道：“南卡罗来纳州刚刚加入佛蒙特州，驳回了其毫无根据的股份诉讼，并将该州的消费者保护措施归还其原始形式。这不仅是我们的胜利，而且对美国消费者来说是胜利，我们希望这是即将来临的迹象。”

According to Grewal, residents of South Carolina missed out on an estimated $2 million in staking rewards due to the state’s restrictions.

据格雷瓦尔（Grewal）称，由于该州的限制，南卡罗来纳州的居民错过了约200万美元的积分奖励。

The legal executive confirmed that staking services are now live again in South Carolina across all Coinbase platforms, including the app and website.

这位法律主管确认，现在，包括应用程序和网站在内的所有Coinbase平台，现在在南卡罗来纳州再次使用Stating Services。

The original legal actions came on the same day the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed its own lawsuit against Coinbase.

最初的法律诉讼是在同一天发生的，证券交易委员会（SEC）对Coinbase提起诉讼。

The SEC dropped its case against the exchange on February 27. This may have signaled a shift in the regulatory approach toward crypto staking.

SEC于2月27日撤销了反对交换的案件。这可能表明，监管方法转向加密货币的分支。

Eight states continue to maintain similar lawsuits against Coinbase. These include Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Washington, and Wisconsin.

八个州继续对Coinbase进行类似的诉讼。其中包括阿拉巴马州，加利福尼亚，伊利诺伊州，肯塔基州，马里兰州，新泽西州，华盛顿和威斯康星州。

All these states claimed that Coinbase’s staking program needed to be registered under their securities laws.

所有这些州都声称，Coinbase的Staking计划需要根据其证券法进行注册。

The lawsuits argued that Coinbase’s service for allowing users to deposit crypto assets to help validate transactions and earn rewards, with Coinbase taking a percentage as a fee, constituted selling unregistered securities. Each state also issued cease-and-desist orders under their respective securities regulations.

诉讼认为，Coinbase允许用户存入加密资产以帮助验证交易和赚取奖励的服务，而Coinbase将一定百分比作为费用，构成了销售未注册的证券。每个州还根据各自的证券法规发出了停止命令。

“The 52 million Americans who own crypto deserve commonsense consumer protections and clear rules,” Grewal stated.

格雷瓦尔说：“拥有加密货币的5200万美国人应该得到常识的消费者保护和明确的规则。”

“We applaud South Carolina for standing up for justice and hope the remaining states with bans on staking will take notice.”

“我们赞扬南卡罗来纳州竭尽全力，并希望其余的州被禁止，将注意到。”

The Future of Crypto in South Carolina

南卡罗来纳州加密货币的未来

In a separate but related development, South Carolina may be taking steps toward embracing cryptocurrency at a state level.

在一个单独但相关的发展中，南卡罗来纳州可能正在采取步骤采取州一级拥抱加密货币的步骤。

On the same day as the lawsuit dismissal, state representative Jordan Pace introduced the “Strategic Digital Assets Reserve Act of South Carolina.”

在诉讼驳回的同一天，州代表约旦介绍了“南卡罗来纳州的战略数字资产保护法案”。

This proposed legislation would allow the state treasurer to allocate up to 10% of certain state funds to cryptocurrencies. The bill mentions Bitcoin multiple times, which is unusual as most state crypto reserve proposals use more general language for digital assets.

这项拟议的立法将使州财务主管最多将某些州资金的10％分配给加密货币。该法案多次提到比特币，这是不寻常的，因为大多数州加密保护区提案都将更多的通用语言用于数字资产。

If passed, the bill would permit South Carolina Treasurer Curtis Loftis to establish a Bitcoin reserve. This reserve would have a maximum capacity of 1 million Bitcoin – a ceiling that matches the federal government’s recently established Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

如果通过，该法案将允许南卡罗来纳州的财政部长柯蒂斯·洛夫蒂斯（Curtis Loftis）建立比特币储备。该储备的最高容量为100万比特币 - 与联邦政府最近建立的战略比特币储备相匹配的上限。

The treasurer would be able to add Bitcoin to various state funds. These include South Carolina’s General Fund and the Budget Stabilization Reserve Fund, as well as other investment funds managed by the treasurer’s office.

财务主管将能够在各个州基金中添加比特币。其中包括南卡罗来纳州的普通基金和预算稳定储备基金，以及财务主管办公室管理的其他投资基金。

While Bitcoin is the main focus, the proposed reserve wouldn’output be limited to just this cryptocurrency. However, the bill makes no specific mention of other digital assets like stablecoins, Ethereum, or non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

尽管比特币是主要重点，但拟议的储备将不仅限于这种加密货币。但是，该法案并未具体提及其他数字资产，例如Stablecoins，以太坊或不可杀菌令牌（NFTS）。

This proposal is part of a growing trend across the United States. According to Bitcoin Law, 42 Bitcoin reserve bills have been introduced at the state level across 19 states. Of these, 36 bills remain active, showing increased interest in cryptocurrency as a state-level asset.

该提议是美国增长趋势的一部分。根据比特币法律，在19个州的州一级已经引入了42份比特币储备账单。其中，有36个账单仍然活跃，显示出对加密货币作为州级资产的兴趣增加。

The federal government has also shown interest in holding Bitcoin. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating both a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. These federal reserves will initially use cryptocurrency seized in government criminal cases.

联邦政府还对持有比特币表示兴趣。本月初，唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统签署了一项行政命令，既创建战略性比特币储备金，又有数字资产库存。这些联邦储备最初将使用政府刑事案件中扣押的加密货币。

The simultaneous lawsuit dismissal and introduction of a Bitcoin reserve bill may signal a shift in South Carolina’s approach to cryptocurrency. The state appears to be moving from regulatory action against crypto services toward potential adoption of digital assets in its financial planning.

同时诉讼驳回和引入比特币储备法案可能表明南卡罗来纳州的加密货币方法发生了转变。该州似乎正在从反对加密服务的监管行动转向其财务计划中的潜在采用数字资产。

Coinbase continues its expansion efforts despite ongoing legal challenges in other states. The company has hinted at potentially acquiring crypto exchange Deribit and is preparing to re-enter the Indian market after receiving regulatory approval from India’s Financial Intelligence Unit.

尽管其他州持续存在法律挑战，但Coinbase仍在继续其扩张努力。该公司暗示有可能获得加密交易所deribit，并准备在获得印度金融情报部门的监管机构批准后重新进入印度市场。

As more states reconsider their stance on digital assets, the landscape for cryptocurrency in the United States continues to evolve.

随着越来越多的州重新考虑其对数字资产的立场，美国加密货币的景观继续发展。

South Carolina’s dual actions – dropping legal challenges while proposing state investment – may serve as a model for other states looking to balance regulation with innovation in the cryptocurrency space.

南卡罗来纳州的双重行动 - 在提出国家投资的同时放弃法律挑战 - 可能是其他希望在加密货币领域中平衡监管与创新的国家的榜样。
