Tron 基金会针对 SEC 诉讼进行辩护，挑战管辖权和代币分类

Tron 基金会驳斥了 SEC 在针对孙宇晨及其关联公司的诉讼中的主张，认为 SEC 试图监管外国被告，从而超越了其管辖权。 Tron 辩称，TRX 和 BTT 不符合 Howey 测试中概述的标准，因此不能被归类为证券，尽管 SEC 指控未注册发行、操纵交易和非法促销。

Tron Foundation Defends Itself Against SEC Lawsuit, Questions Jurisdiction and Classification of TRX and BTT

Tron 基金会针对 SEC 诉讼进行辩护，质疑 TRX 和 BTT 的管辖权和分类

New York, March 28, 2023 - The Tron Foundation has vehemently refuted the allegations made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a subpoena issued to Justin Sun, the Tron Foundation, and affiliated entities. In a comprehensive 62-page filing submitted to a New York federal court today, Tron's legal team meticulously dismantles the SEC's claims, arguing that the agency has overstepped its jurisdiction and mischaracterized the nature of Tron's cryptocurrency offerings.

纽约，2023 年 3 月 28 日 - Tron 基金会强烈反驳了美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 在向孙宇晨、Tron 基金会及其附属实体发出的传票中提出的指控。在今天提交给纽约联邦法院的一份长达 62 页的文件中，Tron 的法律团队精心驳斥了 SEC 的指控，认为该机构超越了其管辖权，并错误地描述了 Tron 加密货币产品的性质。

SEC's Overreach and Extraterritoriality

SEC 的越权和治外法权

Tron's lawyers contend that the SEC's attempt to regulate "foreign defendants" without a clear congressional mandate constitutes an unprecedented expansion of authority. The Tron Foundation and its affiliates are incorporated outside the United States and do not conduct any business within the country's borders. Thus, Tron argues that the SEC lacks jurisdiction to regulate their activities.

Tron 的律师认为，美国证券交易委员会在没有国会明确授权的情况下试图监管“外国被告”，这构成了前所未有的权力扩张。 Tron 基金会及其附属机构在美国境外注册成立，不在美国境内开展任何业务。因此，Tron 认为 SEC 缺乏监管其活动的管辖权。

"The SEC's assertion that it can regulate foreign entities simply because they may have some connection to the US market is not supported by law," said Justin Sun, founder and CEO of Tron. "This is a dangerous precedent that could stifle innovation and economic growth in the global digital asset industry."

Tron 创始人兼首席执行官孙宇晨表示：“美国证券交易委员会声称它可以仅仅因为外国实体可能与美国市场有某种联系就对其进行监管，这一说法并没有得到法律支持。” “这是一个危险的先例，可能会扼杀全球数字资产行业的创新和经济增长。”

Failure to Meet the Howey Test

未能满足 Howey 测试

The SEC had previously alleged that TRX and BTT, two digital assets issued by Tron, are securities that were sold to US investors in unregistered offerings. However, Tron argues that neither token meets the criteria outlined in the Howey Test, the Supreme Court precedent used to determine whether an investment contract constitutes a security.

SEC 此前曾指控 Tron 发行的两种数字资产 TRX 和 BTT 是通过未经注册的发行方式向美国投资者出售的证券。然而，Tron 辩称，这两种代币都不符合 Howey 测试中概述的标准，Howey 测试是最高法院用来确定投资合同是否构成证券的判例。

"TRX and BTT are utility tokens that were sold to fund the development and growth of the Tron ecosystem," said Justin Sun. "They do not provide investors with any rights or expectations of profit, and thus do not qualify as securities under the law."

“TRX 和 BTT 是实用代币，出售的目的是为 Tron 生态系统的发展和增长提供资金，”孙宇晨说。 “它们不向投资者提供任何权利或利润预期，因此不符合法律规定的证券资格。”

Lack of Evidence of Manipulative Trading

缺乏操纵交易的证据

The SEC also accused Mr. Sun of engaging in manipulative wash trading to artificially inflate the price of TRX. However, Tron's lawyers assert that the SEC has failed to provide any evidence to support this claim.

SEC 还指控孙先生参与操纵清洗交易，人为抬高 TRX 的价格。然而，Tron 的律师声称 SEC 未能提供任何证据来支持这一说法。

"The SEC's allegations are baseless and defamatory," said Justin Sun. "We are confident that a court will ultimately dismiss these charges."

Tron's Attractiveness to Criminals

波场对犯罪分子的吸引力

Tron's response to the SEC lawsuit comes at a time when a report by TRM Labs has raised concerns about the use of the Tron blockchain for illicit activities. The report alleges that Tron accounts for a significant portion of illicit cryptocurrency transactions in 2023, and that Tron-based USDT has become a preferred token for North Korea-based hackers.

Tron 对 SEC 诉讼做出回应之际，TRM Labs 的一份报告引发了人们对使用 Tron 区块链进行非法活动的担忧。该报告称，2023 年，波场 (Tron) 占非法加密货币交易的很大一部分，基于波场 (Tron) 的 USDT 已成为朝鲜黑客的首选代币。

"We are aware of these allegations and are taking steps to address them," said Justin Sun. "We have implemented robust anti-money laundering and know-your-customer procedures, and we are committed to preventing our platform from being used for illegal activities."

“我们意识到这些指控，并正在采取措施解决这些问题，”孙宇晨说。 “我们已经实施了强有力的反洗钱和了解你的客户程序，我们致力于防止我们的平台被用于非法活动。”

Conclusion

结论

Tron's legal filing represents a comprehensive and vigorous defense against the SEC's allegations. The Tron Foundation and its affiliates remain confident that the court will recognize the legitimacy of their operations and dismiss the charges against them.

Tron 的法律文件代表了对 SEC 指控的全面而有力的辩护。 Tron 基金会及其附属机构仍然相信法院将承认其运营的合法性并驳回对他们的指控。

"We are confident that we have a strong case and that we will ultimately prevail," said Justin Sun. "We believe that the SEC's overreach in this case is a threat to the entire digital asset industry, and we are determined to fight back."

“我们有信心，我们有充分的理由，并且我们最终会获胜，”孙宇晨说。 “我们认为，SEC 在本案中的越权行为对整个数字资产行业构成威胁，我们决心予以反击。”
