Coinbase發布了10,000多個文件，揭示了有關SEC圍繞ETH和XRP的內部討論的新見解

Coinbase發布了通過信息自由法（FOIA）的請求獲得的10,000多個文件，揭示了對美國證券和交易委員會對主要加密貨幣的內部討論的新見解，尤其是以太坊（ETH）和Ripple的XRP。

Coinbase has published more than 10,000 documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, revealing new insights into the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s internal discussions around major cryptocurrencies — particularly Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple’s XRP.

Coinbase已發布了通過信息自由法（FOIA）要求獲得的10,000多個文件，揭示了對美國證券和交易委員會的內部討論的新見解，涉及主要的加密貨幣，尤其是以太坊（ETH）和Ripple的XRP。

The FOIA disclosures, part of a broader effort by Coinbase to increase transparency in crypto regulation, shed light on behind-the-scenes regulatory pressures and inter-agency coordination.

Foia披露是Coinbase提高加密調節透明度的更廣泛努力的一部分，闡明了幕後的監管壓力和機構間協調。

Among the most notable revelations is a June 2023 email from Shamiso Maswoswe, head of the Investor Protection Bureau at the New York Attorney General’s Office (NYAG), asking the SEC to submit an amicus brief supporting the argument that Ether is a security.

最引人注目的啟示之一是2023年6月的一封電子郵件，來自紐約總檢察長辦公室（NYAG）投資者保護局負責人Shamiso Maswoswe，要求SEC提交一份法庭上的摘要，以支持以Ether為安全的論點。

“We would like to request that the SEC file an amicus in support of the argument that Ether is a security,” Maswoswe wrote. “I think it would be beneficial to investor protection to get a court to hold that Ether is a security.”

Maswoswe寫道：“我們想要求SEC歸檔法庭，以支持以太安全的論點。” “我認為投資者的保護是有益的，以使法院認為以太是安全性。”

The request stemmed from the NYAG’s lawsuit against KuCoin, which controversially claimed Ether was an unregistered security.

該請求源於NYAG對Kucoin的訴訟，該訴訟辯稱Ether是未註冊的安全性。

The documents also contain a 2021 internal SEC email reflecting uncertainty about XRP’s classification, in which staff considered the implications if Ripple Labs were to suddenly disappear, asking:

這些文檔還包含一封2021個內部SEC電子郵件，反映了有關XRP分類的不確定性，在該電子郵件中，員工認為如果Ripple Labs突然消失了，詢問：

“What risks to the XRP blockchain would or might materialize if Ripple ‘walked away’ or ‘disappeared’?”

“如果波紋'走開'或“消失”，XRP區塊鏈的風險會或可能會發生什麼？”

This line of questioning reflects how the SEC weighed the dependency of a token’s ecosystem on its issuer, a central theme in its ongoing legal battles with Ripple.

這種質疑線反映了SEC如何權衡令牌生態系統對其發行人的依賴，這是其與Ripple進行的持續法律鬥爭的中心主題。

These documents come amid growing pressure on regulators to provide clear rules for digital assets. Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s administration was largely focused on enforcement over clear-cut rules, a strategy that led to several high-profile lawsuits against major crypto firms.

這些文檔在監管機構為數字資產提供明確規則的壓力上加劇了。前美國證券交易委員會主席加里·加斯勒（Gary Gensler）的政府主要集中在執法方面，這是一項策略，該戰略導致了針對主要加密貨幣公司的幾項引人注目的訴訟。

Gensler’s administration also repeatedly dodged questions about the classification of Ethereum, despite the fact that the agency launched an investigation into 2.0-related activity.

儘管該機構對與2.0相關的活動進行了調查，但Gensler的政府也反复避開有關以太坊分類的問題。

However, the SEC appears to be pulling back on some of these aggressive moves under new leadership. The agency has dropped cases against key industry players and faced criticism from both inside and outside government for regulatory overreach and lack of clarity.

但是，在新的領導下，SEC似乎正在撤回其中一些積極的舉動。該機構已對關鍵行業參與者的案件撤銷，並面臨政府內部和外部的批評，以進行監管過度和缺乏清晰度。
