耐克關閉其加密貨幣單元RTFKT後起訴

這家體育巨頭被指控放棄其NFT投資者在其加密貨幣司RTFKT突然關閉後，在美國面臨集體訴訟。

After abruptly shutting down RTFKT, its division dedicated to NFTs and crypto assets, US sports giant Nike is facing a class action lawsuit.

在突然關閉RTFKT（致力於NFTS和加密資產的部門）之後，美國體育巨頭Nike正面臨集體訴訟。

The plaintiffs, led by Australian Jagdeep Cheema, are claiming over $5 million in damages, alleging violations of consumer protection laws in New York, California, Florida, and Oregon.

由澳大利亞Jagdeep Cheema領導的原告要求賠償超過500萬美元，指控違反了紐約，加利福尼亞，佛羅里達州和俄勒岡州的消費者保護法。

According to the complaint, filed in Brooklyn federal court on April 25, the sports brand sold unregistered securities in the form of NFTs before “pulling the rug out from under” buyers by shutting down RTFKT.

根據4月25日在布魯克林聯邦法院提起的投訴，體育品牌以NFT的形式出售了未註冊的證券，然後通過關閉RTFKT“將地毯從下面的買家撤出”。

Had the risks been properly disclosed, the plaintiffs would never have invested in these digital tokens or would have done so at much lower prices, the lawsuit stated.

訴訟稱，如果正確披露了風險，原告永遠不會在這些數字代幣上投資，或者以更低的價格這樣做。

However, this unexpected shutdown drastically depreciated the value of NFTs linked to RTFKT, leaving many buyers in a state of uncertainty.

但是，這種意外的關閉極大地貶低了與RTFKT相關的NFT的價值，使許多買家處於不確定性狀態。

The case also raises a crucial question in the crypto realm: should NFTs be deemed securities subject to American regulation?

該案在加密貨幣領域也提出了一個至關重要的問題：NFT是否應視為受美國法規的證券？

Nasdaq is precisely putting pressure on the SEC to enforce this regulation.

納斯達克正好對SEC施加壓力，以執行這一法規。

At present, neither Nike has responded to the lawsuit nor did Phillip Kim, the lawyer for the plaintiffs.

目前，耐克都沒有回應訴訟，也沒有對原告的律師菲利普·金（Phillip Kim）作出回應。

As a reminder, in December 2021, Nike acquired RFTKT, known for its innovative approach combining fashion, culture, and the gaming universe.

提醒我們，耐克收購了RFTKT，該RFTKT以其創新方法結合了時尚，文化和遊戲宇宙而聞名。

But on December 2, 2024, the sports equipment company quietly announced the conclusion of the RTFKT integration process, stating that the brand’s legacy would continue through other creators and projects.

但是在2024年12月2日，運動器材公司悄悄宣布了RTFKT集成過程的結論，並指出該品牌的遺產將通過其他創作者和項目繼續。

This lawsuit against Nike highlights the growing difficulties major brands face when venturing into the still ambiguous and risky NFT and crypto domain.

這項針對耐克的訴訟強調了主要品牌越來越多的困難在冒險進入仍然含糊不清的NFT和加密型領域時面臨的。

The outcome of this case could influence the future regulation of digital assets in the United States, which we hope will be positive under Paul Atkins's leadership.

這項案件的結果可能會影響美國對數字資產的未來監管，我們希望在保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）的領導下，這將是積極的。
