美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 結束了對 Hiro Systems 的為期三年的調查，Hiro Systems 是比特幣 Stacks 第 2 層區塊鏈背後的實體

這項決定對 Hiro 來說是一個關鍵時刻，自 2018 年成立以來，Hiro 一直將其原生代幣 STX 作為美國法律下的證券。

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded a three-year investigation into Hiro Systems, the entity behind Bitcoin’s Stacks layer-2 blockchain, which raised $70 million through token sales between 2017 and 2019.

美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 結束了對Hiro Systems 的為期三年的調查，Hiro Systems 是比特幣Stacks 第2 層區塊鏈背後的實體，該公司在2017 年至2019 年間透過代幣銷售籌集了7000萬美元。

According to a regulatory filing on July 12, the SEC has decided not to pursue enforcement action against Hiro Systems PBC, formerly known as Blockstack PBC.

根據 7 月 12 日的監管文件，SEC 決定不對 Hiro Systems PBC（前身為 Blockstack PBC）採取執法行動。

In a letter included in the filing, the SEC stated, “Based on the information we have as of this date, we do not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the Commission against Hiro Systems PBC.”

在文件中包含的一封信中，SEC 表示：“根據我們截至目前為止掌握的信息，我們不打算建議委員會對 Hiro Systems PBC 採取執法行動。”

This decision marks a pivotal moment for Hiro, which has treated its native token, STX, as a security under US law since its inception in 2018.

這項決定對 Hiro 來說是一個關鍵時刻，自 2018 年成立以來，Hiro 一直將其原生代幣 STX 作為美國法律下的證券。

Since 2019, Hiro has consistently filed with the SEC under Regulation A+, a registration exemption for smaller securities issuances.

自 2019 年以來，Hiro 一直根據 A+ 條例向美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 備案，這是針對小型證券發行的註冊豁免。

Additionally, it utilized exemptions under Regulations D and S for private and international offerings respectively.

此外，它還分別對私募和國際發行利用了 D 條例和 S 條例規定的豁免。

In 2021, Hiro argued that the Stacks blockchain had achieved sufficient decentralization, asserting that it no longer qualified as a securities issuer.

2021年，Hiro辯稱Stacks區塊鏈已經實現了足夠的去中心化，並聲稱它不再具備證券發行人的資格。

In a filing, the company stated, “Management concluded further that if Hiro is no longer in the position of providing, and will no longer be able to provide, essential managerial services to the Stacks Blockchain, then it is no longer necessary for Hiro to treat the Stacks Tokens as investment contracts that are securities under the federal securities laws.”

該公司在一份文件中表示，「管理層進一步得出結論，如果 Hiro 不再能夠且不再能夠為 Stacks 區塊鏈提供基本的管理服務，那麼 Hiro 就不再需要將Stacks 代幣視為聯邦證券法下的證券投資契約。

This decision by the SEC comes shortly after another crypto-related investigation was dropped earlier in the week.

本週早些時候，另一項與加密貨幣相關的調查被撤銷後不久，美國證券交易委員會就做出了這項決定。

On July 11, Paxos announced that the SEC had opted against enforcement action related to its investigation of the Binance USD stablecoin.

7 月 11 日，Paxos 宣布美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 選擇不對其對幣安美元穩定幣的調查採取執法行動。

Despite these decisions, the SEC continues to pursue enforcement actions against other firms in the crypto space, such as Ripple, Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase.

儘管做出了這些決定，美國證券交易委員會仍繼續對加密貨幣領域的其他公司採取執法行動，例如 Ripple、Binance、Kraken 和 Coinbase。

Recent legal developments, including a significant Supreme Court ruling in June, have constrained the SEC’s regulatory approach.

最近的法律發展，包括最高法院 6 月的一項重大裁決，限制了 SEC 的監管方式。

The Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright v. Raimondo overturned the Chevron Doctrine, limiting the SEC’s flexibility in enforcing existing laws.

最高法院在 Loper Bright v. Raimondo 案中的裁決推翻了雪佛龍主義，限制了 SEC 執行現有法律的靈活性。

Moreover, recent court rulings against Ripple and Binance have further shaped the regulatory landscape for crypto issuers, challenging the SEC’s interpretations of securities laws.

此外，最近針對 Ripple 和 Binance 的法院裁決進一步塑造了加密貨幣發行人的監管格局，挑戰了 SEC 對證券法的解釋。
