SEC 與 eToro 平台達成的和解標誌著對以太坊觀點的轉變

作為 SEC 與加密貨幣平台 eToro 和解的一部分，披露的一個關鍵細節表明該機構對以太坊 ETH/USD 的看法發生了巨大轉變。

A key detail has emerged from the SEC's settlement with cryptocurrency platform eToro, hinting at a drastic shift in the agency's perspective on Ethereum (ETH).

美國證券交易委員會與加密貨幣平台 eToro 達成的和解協議出現了一個關鍵細節，暗示該機構對以太坊 (ETH) 的看法發生了巨大轉變。

What Happened: As part of the press release on Thursday, the SEC stated that the U.S. arm of the Israel-based multi-asset company’s operations violated federal securities laws by enabling the trading of cryptocurrencies.

發生了什麼：作為週四新聞稿的一部分，美國證券交易委員會表示，這家總部位於以色列的多資產公司的美國分支機構允許加密貨幣交易，違反了聯邦證券法。

The company agreed to pay $1.5 million in penalties and scale back its cryptocurrency operations in the country. A significant aspect of the settlement was the directive to halt the trade of all other cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Ethereum.

該公司同意支付 150 萬美元的罰款，並縮減其在該國的加密貨幣業務。和解協議的一個重要方面是指令停止除比特幣（BTC）、比特幣現金（BCH）和以太坊之外的所有其他加密貨幣的交易。

While Bitcoin and its offshoots were considered commodities, the SEC, under the leadership of Gary Gensler, had been unclear on whether Ethereum should be classified as a security.

雖然比特幣及其衍生性商品被視為商品，但在 Gary Gensler 的領導下，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 一直不清楚以太坊是否應被歸類為證券。

The settlement, coupled with the approval for Ethereum exchange-traded funds in July, seemed to end years-long ambiguity on the matter.

這次和解，加上 7 月以太坊交易所交易基金獲得批准，似乎結束了此事上長達數年的模糊狀態。

Interestingly, in June, blockchain software company ConsenSys announced that the SEC has closed its investigation into Ethereum’s security question.

有趣的是，今年 6 月，區塊鏈軟體公司 ConsenSys 宣布 SEC 已結束對以太坊安全問題的調查。

In a parallel development, SEC Chair Gensler, who is known for his critical stance on the cryptocurrency industry, was under investigation by Republican lawmakers for allegedly engaging in political favoritism during the SEC’s hiring process.

同時，以對加密貨幣行業持批評態度而聞名的 SEC 主席 Gensler 因涉嫌在 SEC 招聘過程中存在政治偏袒而受到共和黨議員的調查。

Price Action: At the time of writing, Ether was exchanging hands at $2,350.22, down 0.58% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

價格走勢：根據 Benzinga Pro 的數據，截至撰寫本文時，以太幣交易價格為 2,350.22 美元，在過去 24 小時內下跌 0.58%。
