Solana (SOL) ETF 從 Cboe 網站上刪除凸顯了 SEC 的持續謹慎態度

Solana (SOL) 仍處於美國 SEC 施加的「安全」標籤之下，這可能導致 VanEck 和 21Shares 的 19b-4 表格從芝加哥期權交易所 (Cboe) 網站上刪除。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approached prospective issuers regarding the potential security classification of Solana (SOL), according to a source familiar with the matter. This prompted the SEC and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) to refrain from submitting 19b-4s forms to the Federal Register for VanEck and 21Shares' Solana ETF filings.

知情人士透露，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 已就 Solana (SOL) 的潛在安全分類與潛在發行人接洽。這促使 SEC 和芝加哥期權交易所 (Cboe) 不再向聯邦公報提交 VanEck 和 21Shares 的 Solana ETF 備案的 19b-4s 表格。

The submission of 19b-4 filings would have initiated the approval process for these ETFs. These forms outline the requirements and disclosures necessary for listing an ETF for trading on a stock exchange, and the 19b-4s qualify the S-1 registration statements to go effective.

提交 19b-4 文件將啟動這些 ETF 的審批流程。這些表格概述了 ETF 在證券交易所上市交易所需的要求和揭露，並且 19b-4 使 S-1 註冊聲明生效。

As reported by BeInCrypto, the 19b-4s forms for Solana ETF filings have disappeared from the Cboe website. Meanwhile, VanEck's S-1 registration statement for its Solana ETF is still visible on the SEC's filing system, EDGAR. However, 21Shares' S-1 registration statement filing is no longer present in search results, although the direct link remains functional.

根據 BeInCrypto 報導，Solana ETF 備案的 19b-4s 表格已從 Cboe 網站上消失。同時，VanEck 的 Solana ETF 的 S-1 註冊聲明在 SEC 的備案系統 EDGAR 上仍然可見。然而，21Shares 的 S-1 註冊聲明文件不再出現在搜尋結果中，儘管直接連結仍然有效。

This development comes after the SEC classified 12 tokens, including SOL, as securities in June 2023. Several projects have contested the SEC's claims.

這項進展是在 2023 年 6 月 SEC 將包括 SOL 在內的 12 種代幣歸類為證券之後發生的。

Given the SEC's prior contention that Solana may be a security, this news is not surprising. While Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have approved ETFs (exchange-traded funds), the chances of Solana ETFs being approved under the current administration are slim. Some experts believe it may not happen until 2025, if at all.

鑑於 SEC 先前認為 Solana 可能是一種證券，這一消息並不令人意外。雖然比特幣 (BTC) 和以太坊 (ETH) 已批准 ETF（交易所交易基金），但 Solana ETF 在本屆政府下獲得批准的機會很小。一些專家認為，如果有的話，這可能要到 2025 年才會發生。

“Solana ETF not happening anytime soon under the current administration,” said Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store.

「在當前政府的領導下，Solana ETF 不會很快出現，」ETF Store 總裁 Nate Geraci 表示。

It's important to note that the U.S. SEC has yet to formally publish its notice.

值得注意的是，美國證券交易委員會尚未正式發布通知。

Recent Events Highlight Need for More Convincing Arguments for Solana ETF Approval

最近發生的事件凸顯了 Solana ETF 批准需要更多令人信服的論點

These recent events align with statements made by Hester Pierce, one of the SEC Commissioners, who is known as the "crypto mom." According to Pierce, the SEC will require more convincing arguments before approving a Solana ETF, highlighting the regulator's differing perspectives on what constitutes a security.

最近發生的這些事件與 SEC 委員之一、被稱為「加密貨幣媽媽」的 Hester Pierce 的聲明相符。 Pierce 表示，SEC 在批准 Solana ETF 之前將需要更多令人信服的論點，這突顯了監管機構對證券構成的不同觀點。

This stance stems from June 2023, when the U.S. SEC named 12 tokens in the exchanges' lawsuits, asserting that they were offered and sold as investment contracts and, therefore, as securities. These tokens included Solana's SOL, Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC), Filecoin (FIL), Cosmos (ATOM), Sandbox (SAND), Decentraland (MANA), Algorand (ALGO), Axie Infinity (AXS), Coti (COTI), and Binance's BUSD and BNB tokens.

這一立場源於 2023 年 6 月，當時美國 SEC 在交易所的訴訟中點名了 12 種代幣，聲稱它們是作為投資合約提供和出售的，因此也是作為證券提供和出售的。這些代幣包括Solana 的SOL、Cardano (ADA)、Polygon (MATIC)、Filecoin (FIL)、Cosmos (ATOM)、Sandbox (SAND)、Decentraland (MANA)、Algorand (ALGO)、Axie Infinity (AXS)、Coti (COTI) ），以及幣安的 BUSD 和 BNB 代幣。

“I mean, the SEC literally alleged SOL to be a security back in June 2023 when it sued Coinbase so this should not be a surprise,” said Fred Rispoli, an attorney, in response to the recent development.

「我的意思是，SEC 早在 2023 年 6 月起訴 Coinbase 時就聲稱 SOL 是一種證券，所以這應該不足為奇，」律師 Fred Rispoli 在回應最近的事態發展時表示。

The regulator's assertion in the exchanges' lawsuits was that these tokens have been “offered and sold as investment contracts and, therefore, as securities” since their inception. Notably, this statement appeared in the context of each crypto asset mentioned, presenting the de facto argument for what qualifies as securities.

監管機構在交易所訴訟中聲稱，這些代幣自成立以來一直「作為投資合約提供和出售，因此也作為證券」。值得注意的是，這項聲明出現在所提到的每種加密資產的背景下，提出了關於什麼是證券的事實上的論點。

The regulator's filing provided 53 pages of context, dissecting each of the 12 crypto assets mentioned. This latest stance against Solana marks another one of the SEC's moves, which have been described as regulation by enforcement. In light of this setback, crypto proponents already anticipate that the U.S. will fall behind in issuing Solana ETFs.

監管機構的文件提供了 53 頁的背景信息，詳細剖析了提到的 12 種加密資產。針對 Solana 的最新立場標誌著 SEC 的又一舉措，這被稱為「執法監管」。鑑於這項挫折，加密貨幣支持者已經預計美國在發行 Solana ETF 方面將落後。

“Canada will win again with a SOL ETF,” said David Tawil, co-founder and president of ProChain Capital, in a tweet about the recent development.

ProChain Capital 聯合創始人兼總裁 David Tawil 在關於近期進展的推文中表示：“加拿大將憑藉 SOL ETF 再次獲勝。”
