Bitnomial Sues SEC Over XRP Classification, Seeking Court Declaration on Futures Jurisdiction

Bitnomial 就 XRP 分类起诉 SEC，寻求法院就期货管辖权作出声明

Bitnomial Exchange, LLC has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its commissioners on Oct. 10 over the agency's claim that XRP is a security. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, seeks declaratory and injunctive relief against the SEC's attempt to exercise jurisdiction over digital asset futures that Bitnomial argues should be regulated exclusively by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Bitnomial Exchange, LLC 于 10 月 10 日对美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 及其专员提起诉讼，指控该机构声称 XRP 是一种证券。该诉状向美国伊利诺伊州北区地方法院提起，寻求针对 SEC 试图对数字资产期货行使管辖权的声明性和禁令性救济，Bitnomial 认为数字资产期货应由商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 独家监管。

The exchange, which is designated as a contract market by the CFTC, has faced the SEC's challenge to its plans to list XRP Futures. According to the complaint, "The SEC asserts jurisdiction over a product that is already regulated by and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the CFTC." The SEC's intervention came after Bitnomial self-certified with the CFTC to list the futures contract, which is set to begin trading on or after Aug. 13, 2024.

该交易所被 CFTC 指定为合约市场，其 XRP 期货上市计划面临 SEC 的质疑。根据诉状，“美国证券交易委员会对已经受美国商品期货交易委员会监管并受其专属管辖的产品主张管辖权。” SEC 的干预是在 Bitnomial 向 CFTC 进行自我认证以列出期货合约后进行的，该期货合约定于 2024 年 8 月 13 日或之后开始交易。

"After filing its self-certification with the CFTC, but before Bitnomial listed XRP Futures for trading, the SEC contacted Bitnomial to discuss the contemplated listing. In discussions with Bitnomial, the SEC asserted that Bitnomial would violate the federal securities laws if Bitnomial proceeded with its contemplated listing of XRP Futures pursuant to its CFTC self certification," the complaint reveals.

“在向 CFTC 提交自我认证后，但在 Bitnomial 上市 XRP 期货进行交易之前，SEC 联系了 Bitnomial，讨论了拟议的上市事宜。在与 Bitnomial 的讨论中，SEC 声称，如果 Bitnomial 继续进行交易，Bitnomial 将违反联邦证券法。其根据 CFTC 自我认证计划上市 XRP 期货，”诉状透露。

In its exchange with Bitnomial, the SEC posited that the crypto asset is an investment contract and, by extension, a security. "The SEC asserted that XRP Futures are security futures which are subject to joint SEC and CFTC jurisdiction. The SEC further asserted that Bitnomial is required to comply with a host of additional SEC requirements before listing these Futures, including the significant task of registering as a national securities exchange (“NSE”) and submitting to the SEC’s jurisdiction," Bitnomial writes.

在与 Bitnomial 的交流中，SEC 认为加密资产是一种投资合约，进而是一种证券。 “SEC 声称 XRP 期货是证券期货，受 SEC 和 CFTC 联合管辖。SEC 进一步声称，Bitnomial 在上市这些期货之前需要遵守一系列额外的 SEC 要求，包括注册为国家证券交易所（“NSE”）并服从 SEC 的管辖，”Bitnomial 写道。

The exchange disputes this classification, highlighting the summary judgment of the Southern District of New York from July 13, 2023, by Judge Analisa Torres, which rejected the SEC's stance that the token itself is a security in secondary market transactions.

交易所对这一分类提出异议，强调了纽约南区法官 Analisa Torres 自 2023 年 7 月 13 日起的简易判决，该判决驳回了 SEC 关于代币本身是二级市场交易中的证券的立场。

"Bitnomial disagrees with the SEC's view that XRP is an investment contract and, therefore, a security, and that XRP Futures are thus security futures," Bitnomial's legal counsel argues. They further contend that complying with the SEC's demands would be impractical, as it would require Bitnomial to register as a national securities exchange, a process that would subject the company to excessive regulatory burdens and costs.

Bitnomial 的法律顾问表示：“Bitnomial 不同意 SEC 的观点，即 XRP 是一种投资合约，因此也是一种证券，因此 XRP 期货也是证券期货。”他们进一步认为，遵守 SEC 的要求是不切实际的，因为这将要求 Bitnomial 注册为国家证券交易所，这一过程将使该公司承受过多的监管负担和成本。

Bitnomial is requesting the court to declare that XRP futures are not security futures and to enjoin the SEC from asserting jurisdiction over it or pursuing any enforcement actions related to the listing, trading, purchasing, or selling the futures on Bitnomial's exchange. "Bitnomial seeks this declaration prior to listing the contract contrary to the SEC's interpretation of the law, which would expose Bitnomial to SEC enforcement," the firm writes.

Bitnomial 请求法院宣布 XRP 期货不是证券期货，并禁止 SEC 对其行使管辖权或采取与在 Bitnomial 交易所上市、交易、购买或出售期货相关的任何执法行动。该公司写道：“Bitnomial 在列出合同之前寻求这一声明，这违反了 SEC 对法律的解释，这将使 Bitnomial 面临 SEC 执法的风险。”

The lawsuit comes as the SEC filed a motion to appeal the final ruling by Judge Torres on Oct. 2. The agency has yet to specify what it plans to appeal. Meanwhile, on Oct. 8, crypto exchange Crypto.com also sued the SEC after receiving a Wells notice. Bitnomial's complaint follows Canary Capital's filing with the SEC on Oct. 8 to launch a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), days after a similar application from Bitwise.

此次诉讼发生之际，SEC 于 10 月 2 日提出动议，对托雷斯法官的最终裁决提出上诉。该机构尚未具体说明计划上诉的内容。与此同时，10 月 8 日，加密货币交易所 Crypto.com 在收到 Wells 通知后也起诉了 SEC。 Bitnomial 提出投诉之前，Canary Capital 于 10 月 8 日向 SEC 提交了推出现货 XRP 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的文件，几天前 Bitwise 也提出了类似申请。

At press time, XRP trades at $0.5344.
