區塊鏈遊戲平台不可變被 SEC 瞄準，IMX 代幣價格下跌

美國證券交易委員會已瞄準區塊鏈遊戲平台 Immutable，該平台可能會在 2021 年上市並私募銷售 IMX 代幣。

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has targeted blockchain gaming platform Immutable with an accelerated Wells notice, potentially over the listing and private sales of the IMX token in 2021, the company said on Wednesday.

該公司週三表示，美國證券交易委員會已針對區塊鏈遊戲平台 Immutable 發出加速 Wells 通知，可能涉及 2021 年 IMX 代幣的上市和私人銷售。

Immutable, which counts GameStop among its partners, said the SEC notice was issued hours after the agency told the company to expect a Wells notice within the week.

GameStop 是 Immutable 的合作夥伴，該公司表示，SEC 的通知是在該機構告訴該公司預計將在本週內收到 Wells 通知的幾個小時後發出的。

The notice "simply cited statutory provisions" with "fewer than 20 words of material explanation" on the investigation's focus, Immutable said in a blog post.

Immutable 在部落格文章中表示，該通知“簡單地引用了法律規定”，並對調查重點進行了“不到 20 個字的實質解釋”。

The company said the SEC appeared to be focused on a 2021 blog post in which Immutable said Huobi Ventures made an early investment in IMX at a pre-launch price of $0.10, issued at a "$10 pre-100:1 split," and that there was no "exchange of value" in the deal.

該公司表示，SEC 似乎關注的是2021 年的一篇部落格文章，其中Immutable 表示火幣創投以0.10 美元的發行前價格對IMX 進行了早期投資，發行價格為“10 美元：100:1 分割” ，且交易中不存在「價值交換」。

Immutable disputed this claim, arguing that the investment was legitimate and backed by "real consideration."

Immutable 對此說法提出異議，認為該投資是合法的，並且有「真實考慮」的支持。

The SEC declined to comment immediately.

美國證券交易委員會拒絕立即發表評論。

Immutable said it was "confident in its position" regarding the classification of the IMX token, pushing back against what it described as the SEC "indiscriminately claiming that tokens across the industry are securities."

Immutable 表示，對於 IMX 代幣的分類，它“對其立場充滿信心”，並反駁了 SEC“不加區別地聲稱整個行業的代幣都是證券”的說法。

"We're prepared to have a robust conversation to clarify facts and, if needed, challenge the SEC's enforcement approach in court," the company added.

該公司補充說：“我們準備進行一次強有力的對話，以澄清事實，並在必要時在法庭上挑戰 SEC 的執法方式。”

Immutable co-founder Robbie Ferguson said the company would "defend digital ownership in gaming" by joining contemporaries like Robinhood and OpenSea in defending against the SEC's claims.

Immutable 聯合創始人 Robbie Ferguson 表示，該公司將與 Robinhood 和 OpenSea 等同時代公司一起針對 SEC 的指控進行辯護，「捍衛遊戲中的數位所有權」。

"We're prepared to do our part, join the companies fighting for crypto, and defend digital ownership in gaming," Ferguson said in a tweet.

弗格森在推文中表示：“我們準備盡自己的一份力量，加入為加密貨幣而戰的公司，並捍衛遊戲中的數位所有權。”

While a Wells notice does not guarantee that formal action will be taken, the development came as a blow to Immutable's IMX token, which was down more than 14% at press time.

雖然 Wells 的通知並不能保證會採取正式行動，但這一進展對 Immutable 的 IMX 代幣是一個打擊，截至發稿時該代幣已下跌超過 14%。

The SEC, led by Chair Gary Gensler, has consistently gone after crypto firms for allegedly skirting securities laws.

由主席加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 領導的美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 一直在追查涉嫌規避證券法的加密貨幣公司。

This has also sparked pushback from U.S. policymakers, who say Gensler is creating confusion in the digital asset space by introducing terms like "crypto asset security."

這也引發了美國政策制定者的反對，他們表示 Gensler 透過引入「加密資產安全」等術語在數位資產領域製造混亂。

Yet the regulator remains unfazed, recently issuing a Wells notice to Crypto.com. In response, Crypto.com filed a lawsuit challenging the commission.

然而監管機構仍然不為所動，最近向 Crypto.com 發出了 Wells 通知。作為回應，Crypto.com 提起訴訟，質疑該委員會。
