佛蒙特州对Coinbase的诉讼在其裁决计划中撤销了诉讼

该决定与美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的类似举动保持一致。

Vermont has officially withdrawn its legal action against Coinbase, which accused the crypto exchange of offering unregistered securities through its staking program.

佛蒙特州已正式撤回其针对Coinbase的法律诉讼，该案件指责加密货币交换通过其Staking计划提供未注册的证券。

In a court filing on March 13, Vermont’s Department of Financial Regulation stated that the decision aligns with a similar move by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

在3月13日的法院文件中，佛蒙特州的金融法规指出，该决定与美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的类似举动一致。

The regulator acknowledged that the SEC’s new crypto task force will play a key role in shaping future policies for digital assets. As a result, Vermont has chosen to step back while awaiting more explicit regulatory guidelines.

监管机构承认，SEC的新加密特遣部队将在制定数字资产的未来政策中发挥关键作用。结果，佛蒙特州选择退后一步，同时等待更明确的监管准则。

According to the filing:

根据文件：

“In light of the dismissal of the Federal Action and likelihood of new federal regulatory guidance, the Division believes it would be most efficient and in the best interests of justice to rescind the pending Show Cause Order, without prejudice.”

“鉴于驳回联邦行动和新联邦监管指导的可能性，该司认为，取消待定的出现命令，而不会偏见，这将是最有效的，并且为了正义的最大利益。”

Vermont was one of ten US states, including Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, and New Jersey, that launched legal action against Coinbase in 2023. At the time, the states argued that the exchange’s staking services met the legal definition of securities under their respective laws.

佛蒙特州是美国十个州之一，包括阿拉巴马州，伊利诺伊州，肯塔基州，马里兰州和新泽西州，该州于2023年对Coinbase启动了法律行动。

Coinbase’s reaction

Coinbase的反应

Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, welcomed the development, emphasizing that it reinforces the company’s long-held position that staking does not constitute a security.

Coinbase的首席法律官Paul Grewal欢迎这一发展，强调，它加强了该公司长期以来的立场，即Staking并不构成安全。

Over the years, Coinbase has consistently rejected claims that its staking services fall under securities laws. The company argues that staking is essential for blockchain security and does not meet the legal criteria outlined in the US Securities Act or the Howey Test.

多年来，Coinbase一直拒绝主张其股份属于证券法。该公司认为，Staking对于区块链安全至关重要，并且不符合《美国证券法》或Howey测试中概述的法律标准。

The exchange further stressed that staking is fundamental to the functionality of many blockchain networks, offering security, decentralization, and environmental benefits.

交流进一步强调，Staking对于许多区块链网络的功能至关重要，提供安全性，权力下放和环境利益。

Considering this, he commended Vermont for recognizing the importance of regulatory clarity for digital asset holders.

考虑到这一点，他赞扬佛蒙特州认识到法规清晰度对数字资产持有人的重要性。

Grewal stated:

格雷瓦尔说：

“Our work isn’t over. Congress must seize the bipartisan momentum we’re seeing across the House and Senate to pass comprehensive legislation that takes into account the novel features of digital assets, such as staking.”

“我们的工作还没有结束。国会必须抓住我们在整个众议院和参议院看到的两党势头，以通过全面的立法，考虑到数字资产的新颖特征，例如Statiking。”

Grewal also urged other states with pending cases against Coinbase to follow Vermont’s lead and drop their lawsuits.

格雷瓦尔还敦促其他国家针对Coinbase的案件遵循佛蒙特州的领导并撤销其诉讼。
