代币指标的首席执行官，拥有100,000多名订户的YouTuber的首席执行官Ian Balina表示，美国证券交易委员会将停止在法庭上追捕他

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to recommend a court drop its case against crypto influencer Ian Balina, the CEO of Token Metrics and a YouTuber with more than 100,000 subscribers.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）计划建议法院针对加密货币影响者伊恩·巴林纳（Ian Balina），代币指标的首席执行官和拥有100,000多名订户的YouTuber。

According to Balina, the commission will recommend dismissing a case filed in 2022 alleging “unregistered offering and promotion in 2018 of crypto asset securities called SPRK Tokens.” A judge ruled in May 2024 that “SPRK tokens qualify as securities” under the SEC’s purview.

据巴丽娜（Balina）称，该委员会将建议驳回2022年提起的案件，指控“ 2018年未注册的发行和促销，称为Sprk Sprk Scrkens”。法官在2024年5月裁定，在SEC的权限下，“ Sprk Sprk Sprk Sprk Sprk属于证券”。

Speaking to Cointelegraph on March 11, Balina said the regulator notified him of its decision to drop the case. The crypto influencer believes the move is linked to a change in the administration’s priorities with the departure of SEC Chair Gary Gensler in January. Trump appointed acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda.

巴丽娜（Balina）在3月11日对Cointelegraph进行了讲话时说，监管机构通知他决定放弃此案。加密影响者认为，此举与SEC主席Gary Gensler在一月份的离开时与政府的优先事项的变化有关。特朗普任命代理SEC主席马克·乌耶达（Mark Uyeda）。

“Obviously, the new administration is pro-crypto,” said Balina, claiming that the “time has ended” for crypto regulation through enforcement.

巴丽娜说：“显然，新政府是亲克莱托普托。”

The SEC complaint, filed in September 2022, alleged that Balina agreed to receive a 30% bonus from Sparkster on the $5 million worth of tokens he purchased in the initial coin offering (ICO) — but did not disclose this information to his social media followers.

SEC投诉于2022年9月提出，声称Balina同意从Sparkster获得30％的奖金，他在最初的硬币产品（ICO）中购买的价值500万美元的代币（ICO），但没有向他的社交媒体追随者透露此信息。

At the time of the 2024 decision, Balina’s legal team said it planned to appeal. The judge initially set a January 2025 jury trial date but approved a July 2024 motion for a continuance and agreed to schedule the proceedings at a later date. As of publication, no filing appeared on the docket in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas requesting to dismiss the case.

在2024年决定时，巴丽娜的法律团队表示计划上诉。法官最初设定了2025年1月的陪审团审判日期，但批准了2024年7月的延续动议，并同意在以后的日期安排诉讼。截至出版时，在美国地方法院的德克萨斯州西部地区要求驳回此案的案卷上没有提交文件。

In response to an inquiry from Cointelegraph, the SEC declined to comment.

为了回应Cointelegraph的调查，SEC拒绝置评。

“It definitely was not cheap, cost a lot of money in terms of legal fees, which definitely sucks,” said Balina. “Makes me wish the SEC hadn't put priority on all this.”

巴里纳说：“这绝对不是便宜的，在法律费用方面花费了很多钱，这肯定很糟糕。” “让我希望SEC对所有这一切都没有优先考虑。”

If confirmed by the SEC, petitioning to drop Balina’s case would be the commission’s latest action favoring crypto companies facing similar lawsuits. Since Trump took office on Jan. 20, the regulator announced it would stop pursuing investigations into:

如果由美国证券交易委员会（SEC）确认，请愿撤销巴丽娜（Balina）的案件是该委员会的最新行动，该委员会有利于面临类似诉讼的加密货币公司。自从特朗普于1月20日上任以来，监管机构宣布将停止进行调查：

* Web3 startup Consensys

* Web3启动共识

The commission also dropped cases against Coinbase, Kraken and others.

委员会还撤销了针对Coinbase，Kraken和其他人的案件。

The regulator still has an open case against Ripple Labs, now facing an appeal and cross-appeal following a $125 judgment in August 2024.

监管机构仍针对Ripple Labs有一个公开案件，在2024年8月作出125美元的判决后，现在面临上诉和交叉上诉。

Many critics have suggested that the crypto industry purchased influence with the Trump administration by supporting the Republican candidate in the last election or contributing to his inauguration fund after his November victory.

许多批评家认为，加密工业在上次选举中支持共和党候选人，或在11月胜利后为他的就职基金贡献了共和党候选人，从而在特朗普政府获得了影响。

The US president hosted a crypto summit at the White House on March 7, attended by many industry leaders who directly or indirectly supported “pro-crypto” candidates in the last election cycle, including representatives of:
