SEC Muddies Waters 對 Coinbase 規則制定請願書的回應

SEC 尚未決定是否回應 Coinbase 的規則制定請求，其針對加密貨幣交易平台的執法行動與規則制定的任何決定並不矛盾。 SEC 表示，除非 SEC 決定提出新規則，否則 Coinbase 仍受現行法律的約束。

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Maintains Ambiguity on Coinbase Rulemaking Petition

美國證券交易委員會對 Coinbase 規則制定請願書保持模糊性

In a response to a court order, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has clarified its stance regarding Coinbase's petition for rulemaking and its recent enforcement action against the cryptocurrency trading platform. The SEC emphasized that it has not yet made a decision on the petition and that its enforcement action is not contingent upon a decision on rulemaking.

作為對法院命令的回應，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 澄清了其對 Coinbase 規則制定請願書及其最近針對加密貨幣交易平台的執法行動的立場。 SEC 強調，它尚未就請願書做出決定，其執法行動並不取決於規則制定的決定。

Coinbase had argued that the SEC's enforcement action indicated a rejection of their petition, which sought to establish clear regulations for cryptocurrency trading. However, the SEC insists that no decision has been made, and its staff anticipates making a recommendation within the next 120 days.

Coinbase 辯稱，SEC 的執法行動表明他們的請願書被拒絕，該請願書旨在為加密貨幣交易制定明確的法規。然而，SEC 堅稱尚未做出任何決定，其工作人員預計將在未來 120 天內提出建議。

The SEC emphasized that Coinbase remains subject to existing laws regardless of the outcome of the rulemaking process. "Coinbase – like everyone else – is bound by existing law," the SEC filing stated. "And Coinbase is free to vigorously assert its position that it has not violated that law in the current enforcement action."

SEC 強調，無論規則制定過程的結果如何，Coinbase 仍受現行法律的約束。 「Coinbase 和其他人一樣，受到現行法律的約束，」美國證券交易委員會的文件稱。 “Coinbase 可以自由地大力維護自己的立場，即在當前的執法行動中沒有違反該法律。”

Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal expressed skepticism towards the SEC's response, tweeting that the agency is "ignor[ing] the clear statements of the Chair that confirm they have no intent to issue new rules." Grewal argued that the SEC is conflating the absence of new rules with a denial of the rulemaking petition.

Coinbase 首席法律長 Paul Grewal 對 SEC 的回應表示懷疑，他在推特上表示，該機構「無視主席的明確聲明，確認他們無意發布新規則」。 Grewal 辯稱，SEC 將缺乏新規則與拒絕規則制定請願混為一談。

The SEC counters that statements made by individual commissioners do not constitute official Commission action and that a majority vote of a quorum is required for any decision on rulemaking.

美國證券交易委員會反駁稱，個別委員的聲明並不構成委員會的正式行動，任何規則制定決策都需要法定人數的多數票。

The SEC's response underscores the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency trading in the United States. Coinbase maintains its belief that the SEC has effectively rejected their petition, while the SEC insists that it has not made a decision and that Coinbase remains subject to existing laws.

美國證券交易委員會的回應凸顯了美國加密貨幣交易監管環境持續存在的不確定性。 Coinbase 堅持認為 SEC 實際上已經駁回了他們的請願書，而 SEC 堅稱尚未做出決定，Coinbase 仍受現行法律的約束。

The outcome of the rulemaking petition could have significant implications for the cryptocurrency industry, potentially providing clarity on the legal status of digital assets and the regulatory framework for trading platforms. However, until a decision is reached, the uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrency regulation is likely to persist.

規則制定請願書的結果可能會對加密貨幣產業產生重大影響，可能會明確數位資產的法律地位和交易平台的監管框架。然而，在做出決定之前，圍繞加密貨幣監管的不確定性可能會持續存在。
