SEC 將 Lido 和 Rocketpool 質押服務視為未註冊證券

這與最近針對加密貨幣公司的訴訟趨勢是一致的。美國證券交易委員會（SEC）主席加里·詹斯勒（Gary Gensler）最近聲稱，Lido 和 Rocket Pool 等著名的去中心化金融（DeFi）舉措構成證券。

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accused ConsenSys, the company behind MetaMask, of engaging in the unregistered sale and offer of securities.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 指控 MetaMask 背後的公司 ConsenSys 參與未經註冊的證券銷售和要約。

Specifically, the SEC alleges that Lido and Rocket Pool, which offer liquid staking tokens like stETH and rETH, have been able to sell unregistered securities through ConsenSys since January 2023. These tokens can be easily traded and used, unlike traditional staked assets.

具體來說，SEC 聲稱，自2023 年1 月以來，提供stETH 和rETH 等流動質押代幣的Lido 和Rocket Pool 一直能夠透過ConsenSys 出售未註冊的證券。交易和使用。

The SEC claims that ConsenSys is breaking the law by acting as a broker for these transactions and failing to register as required.

SEC 聲稱 ConsenSys 充當這些交易的經紀人且未按要求註冊，違反了法律。

However, both Rocket Pool and Lido have failed to register any offering or sale of these investment contracts with the Commission. This lack of registration has put these companies in the SEC's crosshairs.

然而，Rocket Pool 和 Lido 均未向委員會登記任何這些投資合約的發售或出售。由於缺乏註冊，這些公司成為了 SEC 的目標。

ConsenSys has hit back at the SEC's allegations, accusing the agency of regulatory overreach and an anti-crypto agenda. The company has called the latest charges part of the SEC's "heavy-handed approach to crypto regulation."

ConsenSys 回擊了 SEC 的指控，指責該機構監管過度和反加密議程。該公司稱最新指控是美國證券交易委員會「嚴厲的加密貨幣監管方法」的一部分。

Crypto investor and commentator Ryan Sean Adams argues that these regulatory actions are part of a broader, systemic effort to undermine the crypto industry, which is popular among retail investors in the U.S. He believes that Gensler's aggressive approach could harm these popular initiatives and hinder the growth of the crypto sector.

加密貨幣投資者和評論員瑞安·肖恩·亞當斯(Ryan Sean Adams) 認為，這些監管行動是破壞加密貨幣行業的更廣泛、系統性努力的一部分，加密貨幣行業在美國散戶投資者中很受歡迎。

According to Adams, these regulatory actions are politically motivated. He argues that Gensler's approach could alienate swing voters and hurt President Biden's chances of being reelected. Adams adds that Biden is not directly overseeing these policies, but they are part of a broader policy of administrative state expansion and control.

亞當斯認為，這些監管行動是出於政治動機。他認為，詹斯勒的做法可能會疏遠搖擺選民，並損害拜登總統連任的機會。亞當斯補充說，拜登並不直接監督這些政策，但它們是更廣泛的國家行政擴張和控制政策的一部分。

He also notes that Democrats could have highlighted crypto earlier in the year, but they have now lost that opportunity.

他還指出，民主黨本可以在今年稍早強調加密貨幣，但他們現在已經失去了這個機會。

The SEC's lawsuit against ConsenSys is part of a wider crackdown on staking services in the crypto industry. Earlier this year, Kraken settled with the SEC for $30 million and shut down its staking services for U.S. customers.

美國證券交易委員會對 ConsenSys 的訴訟是對加密產業質押服務更廣泛打擊的一部分。今年早些時候，Kraken 以 3000 萬美元與 SEC 達成和解，並關閉了對美國客戶的質押服務。
