标题：美国最高证券监管机构正式宣布Memecoins不属于其权限，将新兴的加密货币领域与“非功能”收藏家的物品进行了比较。

在新的声明中，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）宣布，模因官方不是证券。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially announced that memecoins do not fall under its purview, comparing the burgeoning crypto sector to “non-functional” collector’s items.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）已正式宣布，Memecoins不属于其权限，将新兴的加密货币部门与“非功能”收藏家的物品进行了比较。

In a new statement, the SEC is declaring that memecoins are officially not securities.

As defined by the SEC’s statement, “A ‘meme coin’ is a type of crypto asset inspired by internet memes, characters, current events, or trends for which the promoter seeks to attract an enthusiastic online community to purchase the meme coin and engage in its trading.”

正如SEC的声明所定义的那样：“模因硬币是一种受互联网模因，角色，时事或趋势启发的加密资产，发起人试图吸引热情的在线社区购买模因硬币并进行交易。”

The SEC says memecoins are more like collectibles and entertainment items than securities.

SEC说，模因更像是收藏品和娱乐项目，而不是证券。

According to the SEC, memecoins fail the Howey test, a litmus test for deciding whether or not something is a security.

根据SEC，Memecoins未能通过Howey Test，这是一项试金石测试，用于确定某物是否是安全性。

“First, meme coin purchasers are not making an investment in an enterprise. That is, their funds are not pooled together to be deployed by promoters or other third parties for developing the coin or a related enterprise.

“首先，模因硬币购买者没有对企业进行投资。也就是说，他们的资金并没有被汇总在一起，以由发起人或其他第三方开发用于开发硬币或相关企业的资金。

Second, any expectation of profits that meme coin purchasers have is not derived from the efforts of others. That is, the value of meme coins is derived from speculative trading and the collective sentiment of the market, like a collectible.”

其次，任何对Meme Coin购买者所获得的利润的期望都不是从他人的努力中得出的。也就是说，模因硬币的价值源自投机性交易和市场的集体情感，就像收藏品一样。”

The SEC’s official statement echoes comments made by Commissioner Hester Peirce on memecoins earlier this month.

SEC的官方声明呼应了本月早些时候专员Hester Peirce对Memecoins的评论。

“Just because something is out there and it’s popular does not mean that it will fit within the SEC jurisdiction. So I just caution people not to assume that there’s going to be an SEC regulatory backstop to everything…” Peirce said at the time.

“仅仅因为那里有东西，而且它很受欢迎并不意味着它将适合SEC管辖范围。因此，我只是警告人们不要以为一切都会有SEC监管的后台……” Peirce当时说。

The statement comes on the heels of an overhaul at the regulatory agency. In addition to the consolidation and creation of a new crypto task force, the Cyber and Emerging Technologies Unit (CETU), just last week, the SEC has also dropped several high-profile investigations as February comes to an

该声明是在监管机构大修的高跟鞋之后。除了在上周的网络和新兴技术部（CETU）的新加密特遣部队（CETU）的合并和创建外，SEC还放弃了几项备受瞩目的调查
