区块链游戏平台不可变被 SEC 瞄准，IMX 代币价格下跌

美国证券交易委员会已瞄准区块链游戏平台 Immutable，该平台可能会在 2021 年上市并私募销售 IMX 代币。

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has targeted blockchain gaming platform Immutable with an accelerated Wells notice, potentially over the listing and private sales of the IMX token in 2021, the company said on Wednesday.

该公司周三表示，美国证券交易委员会已针对区块链游戏平台 Immutable 发出加速 Wells 通知，可能涉及 2021 年 IMX 代币的上市和私人销售。

Immutable, which counts GameStop among its partners, said the SEC notice was issued hours after the agency told the company to expect a Wells notice within the week.

GameStop 是 Immutable 的合作伙伴，该公司表示，SEC 的通知是在该机构告诉该公司预计将在本周内收到 Wells 通知的几小时后发出的。

The notice "simply cited statutory provisions" with "fewer than 20 words of material explanation" on the investigation's focus, Immutable said in a blog post.

Immutable 在博客文章中表示，该通知“简单地引用了法律规定”，并对调查重点进行了“不到 20 个字的实质性解释”。

The company said the SEC appeared to be focused on a 2021 blog post in which Immutable said Huobi Ventures made an early investment in IMX at a pre-launch price of $0.10, issued at a "$10 pre-100:1 split," and that there was no "exchange of value" in the deal.

该公司表示，SEC 似乎关注的是 2021 年的一篇博客文章，其中 Immutable 表示火币创投以 0.10 美元的发行前价格对 IMX 进行了早期投资，发行价格为“10 美元：100:1 分割”，并且交易中不存在“价值交换”。

Immutable disputed this claim, arguing that the investment was legitimate and backed by "real consideration."

Immutable 对这一说法提出异议，认为该投资是合法的，并且有“真实考虑”的支持。

The SEC declined to comment immediately.

美国证券交易委员会拒绝立即发表评论。

Immutable said it was "confident in its position" regarding the classification of the IMX token, pushing back against what it described as the SEC "indiscriminately claiming that tokens across the industry are securities."

Immutable 表示，对于 IMX 代币的分类，它“对其立场充满信心”，并反驳了 SEC“不加区别地声称整个行业的代币都是证券”的说法。

"We're prepared to have a robust conversation to clarify facts and, if needed, challenge the SEC's enforcement approach in court," the company added.

该公司补充说：“我们准备进行一次强有力的对话，以澄清事实，并在必要时在法庭上挑战 SEC 的执法方式。”

Immutable co-founder Robbie Ferguson said the company would "defend digital ownership in gaming" by joining contemporaries like Robinhood and OpenSea in defending against the SEC's claims.

Immutable 联合创始人 Robbie Ferguson 表示，该公司将与 Robinhood 和 OpenSea 等同时代公司一起针对 SEC 的指控进行辩护，“捍卫游戏中的数字所有权”。

"We're prepared to do our part, join the companies fighting for crypto, and defend digital ownership in gaming," Ferguson said in a tweet.

弗格森在推文中表示：“我们准备尽自己的一份力量，加入为加密货币而战的公司，并捍卫游戏中的数字所有权。”

While a Wells notice does not guarantee that formal action will be taken, the development came as a blow to Immutable's IMX token, which was down more than 14% at press time.

虽然 Wells 的通知并不能保证会采取正式行动，但这一进展对 Immutable 的 IMX 代币是一个打击，截至发稿时该代币已下跌超过 14%。

The SEC, led by Chair Gary Gensler, has consistently gone after crypto firms for allegedly skirting securities laws.

由主席加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 领导的美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 一直在追查涉嫌规避证券法的加密货币公司。

This has also sparked pushback from U.S. policymakers, who say Gensler is creating confusion in the digital asset space by introducing terms like "crypto asset security."

这也引发了美国政策制定者的反对，他们表示 Gensler 通过引入“加密资产安全”等术语在数字资产领域制造混乱。

Yet the regulator remains unfazed, recently issuing a Wells notice to Crypto.com. In response, Crypto.com filed a lawsuit challenging the commission.

然而监管机构仍然不为所动，最近向 Crypto.com 发出了 Wells 通知。作为回应，Crypto.com 提起诉讼，质疑该委员会。
