美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 對以太坊 ETF 的模糊的態度引發了加密貨幣圈的不安

MicroStrategy 執行主席 Michael Saylor 預測，SEC 將現貨以太幣 (ETH) 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 歸類為加密資產證券，使其沒有資格上市和交易。 Saylor 認為這項決定將擴展到 BNB、SOL、XRP 和 ADA 等其他代幣，從而阻止它們獲得主流接受和機構投資。

SEC's Murky Stance on Ethereum Spot ETFs Raises Concerns in Cryptosphere

美國證券交易委員會對以太坊現貨 ETF 的模糊立場引發了加密領域的擔憂

Washington, May 2, 2023 - Industry titan MicroStrategy's executive chair, Michael Saylor, has sounded the alarm regarding the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) potential rejection of spot Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

華盛頓，2023 年 5 月 2 日 - 產業巨頭 MicroStrategy 執行主席 Michael Saylor 對美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 可能拒絕現貨以太幣 (ETH) 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 發出警告。

During the MicroStrategy's Bitcoin For Corporations conference on May 1, Saylor voiced his apprehension that the SEC will classify ETH as a crypto asset security under its jurisdiction, rather than as a commodity under the purview of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

在5 月1 日的MicroStrategy 公司比特幣會議上，Saylor 表達了他的擔憂，即SEC 將ETH 歸類為其管轄範圍內的加密資產證券，而不是美國商品期貨交易委員會(CFTC) 管轄範圍內的商品。

Saylor's projection, if realized, would effectively preclude the listing and trading of spot ETH ETFs on U.S. exchanges. This apprehension stems from the SEC's authority to treat tokens such as BNB, Solana (SOL), XRP, and Cardano (ADA) as "crypto asset securities" that are not registered.

Saylor 的預測如果實現，將有效阻止現貨 ETH ETF 在美國交易所上市和交易。這種擔憂源於 SEC 有權將 BNB、Solana (SOL)、XRP 和 Cardano (ADA) 等代幣視為未註冊的「加密資產證券」。

"None of these tokens will ever be enveloped by a spot ETF, none of them will be recognized by Wall Street, and none of them will gain acceptance as crypto assets by mainstream institutional investors," Saylor asserted.

Saylor 斷言：“這些代幣都不會被現貨 ETF 所包圍，它們都不會得到華爾街的認可，也不會被主流機構投資者接受為加密資產。”

Saylor's remarks resonate with concerns voiced by numerous experts regarding the SEC's stance on spot Ether ETFs. The impending deadlines for ETF applications from VanEck and ARK Invest on May 23 and May 24, respectively, have intensified the urgency within the crypto community.

Saylor 的言論引起了許多專家對 SEC 對現貨以太 ETF 立場的擔憂。 VanEck 和 ARK Invest 的 ETF 申請截止日期分別為 5 月 23 日和 5 月 24 日，這加劇了加密貨幣社群的緊迫性。

Legal proceedings have further shed light on the SEC's scrutiny of Ethereum. According to unredacted portions of a lawsuit filed by Consensys, the SEC initiated an investigation into Ether's status as a security as early as March 2023. SEC Chair Gary Gensler's evasive response to direct queries about Ether's classification during an April 2023 hearing raised further questions.

法律訴訟進一步揭示了美國證券交易委員會對以太坊的審查。根據Consensys 提起的訴訟中未編輯的部分，SEC 早在2023 年3 月就啟動了對ETH 作為證券的地位的調查。 SEC 主席Gary Gensler 在2023 年4 月的聽證會上對有關Ether 分類的直接詢問。的迴避回應引發了進一步的問題。

Saylor, a staunch advocate of Bitcoin (BTC), has been instrumental in MicroStrategy's acquisition of the cryptocurrency as a reserve asset. As of April 30, the company holds a substantial 214,400 BTC, valued at over $13 billion at press time.

Saylor 是比特幣 (BTC) 的堅定擁護者，在 MicroStrategy 收購加密貨幣作為儲備資產的過程中發揮了重要作用。截至 4 月 30 日，該公司持有 214,400 枚 BTC，截至發稿時價值超過 130 億美元。

The cryptosphere awaits the SEC's verdict on spot Ether ETFs with bated breath. Saylor's prognosis, if accurate, would deliver a significant blow to the growth and institutional adoption of Ethereum. However, the ultimate decision rests with the SEC, and the industry eagerly anticipates the commission's stance on this pivotal matter.

加密貨幣界屏息以待美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 對以太幣 ETF 現貨的裁決。塞勒的預測如果準確，將對以太坊的成長和機構採用造成重大打擊。然而，最終決定權在美國證券交易委員會手中，業界熱切期待該委員會在這一關鍵議題上的立場。
