SEC清除了Opensea NFT市场，标志着行业的转折点

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）已正式关闭了对Opensea的调查，标志着更广泛的加密工业的胜利。

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially closed its investigation into OpenSea, a move that is being hailed as a victory by the broader crypto industry.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）已正式关闭了对Opensea的调查，这一举动被更广泛的加密货币行业赢得了胜利。

OpenSea founder Devin Finzer confirmed the news in a Feb. 21 post on X, revealing that the SEC is closing its investigation into the company.

Opensea创始人Devin Finzer在2月21日在X上的一篇文章中证实了这一消息，透露SEC正在关闭对公司的调查。

“This is a win for everyone who is creating and building in our space,” Finzer wrote. “Trying to classify NFTs as securities would have been a step backward — one that misinterprets the law and slows innovation.”

Finzer写道：“这对于每个在我们的空间中创建和建造的人来说都是胜利。” “试图将NFT归类为证券本来是倒退的一步 - 误解了法律并减慢创新。”

The announcement comes just hours after the Financial authority agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against Coinbase, which had accused the crypto exchange of operating as an unregistered securities broker.

这一消息是在金融当局同意驳回其针对Coinbase的诉讼后仅数小时就发表的。Coinbase指控加密货币交易所作为未注册的证券经纪人运营。

The consecutive decisions appear to signal a potential shift in regulatory scrutiny toward digital assets, providing much-needed relief to industry players.

连续的决定似乎表明，监管审查向数字资产的潜在转变，为行业参与者提供了急需的救济。

The SEC's investigation into OpenSea began in August 2024, with the regulator issuing a Wells notice that indicated the agency was considering enforcement action over alleged trading of unregistered securities in the form of NFTs.

SEC对Opensea的调查始于2024年8月，监管机构发出了井注意，该通知表明该机构正在考虑以NFT的形式进行涉嫌交易未注册证券的执法行动。

With the probe now closed, however, industry leaders are highlighting the crucial moment this presents for reshaping the NFT landscape.

然而，随着调查的关闭，行业领导者正在强调这种重塑NFT景观的关键时刻。

Chris Akhavan, chief business officer at Magic Eden, acknowledged the significance of the decision despite being competitors in the NFT marketplace space.

Magic Eden的首席业务官Chris Akhavan尽管是NFT市场领域的竞争对手，但还是承认了这一决定的重要性。

“We share a deep belief in NFTs and what they will enable. Happy to see such a win for the space,” Akhavan said.

“我们对NFT及其将实现的目标有着深切的信念。很高兴看到这一空间的胜利。”阿哈万说。

Pseudonymous crypto commentator Beanie also echoed this sentiment, calling the resolution “a real catalyst for the next NFT bull market.”

化名加密评论员Beanie也回应了这种观点，称该决议是“下一个NFT牛市的真正催化剂”。

Beanie praised OpenSea for helping to provide some regulatory clarity, even at what he assumed was “a great cost.”

Beanie称赞Opensea帮助提供了一些法规清晰度，即使他认为这是“巨大的成本”。

“Have to give credit where credit is due, and OpenSea did a wonderful thing for the NFT industry by facilitating some regulatory clarity,” the crypto commentator said. “I'm sure it has come at a great cost as well. So we should all be thankful for that. This could be a real catalyst for the next NFT bull market.”

加密评论员说：“必须在应得的信贷的情况下给予信贷，而Opensea通过促进一些法规清晰度为NFT行业做了一件很棒的事情。” “我敢肯定，这也有很大的成本。因此，我们都应该为此感激。这可能是下一个NFT牛市的真正催化剂。”

The timing of the SEC's decision also coincides with OpenSea's recent announcement regarding its new project token, SEA.

SEC决定的时机还与Opensea最近有关其新项目令牌SEA的宣布相吻合。

The OpenSea Foundation revealed on Feb. 13 that the token will be made available to users in various countries, including the United States, although it has not yet specified a launch date.

Opensea基金会于2月13日透露，该令牌将为包括美国在内的各个国家 /地区的用户提供，尽管尚未指定发布日期。

Despite this positive regulatory outcome, OpenSea has not been without its controversies as of late.

尽管有积极的监管结果，但Opensea最近并没有没有争议。

The platform recently faced backlash over its airdrop rewards system, which some users criticized for promoting wash trading and failing to support creators. Following the criticism, OpenSea opted to pause the program.

该平台最近在其Airdrop Rewards系统上面临强烈反对，一些用户批评该系统批评促进Wash交易和未能支持创建者。在批评之后，Opensea选择暂停该计划。

The closure of the SEC's investigation may now signal a turning point for NFTs, offering a more optimistic regulatory outlook.

SEC调查的关闭现在可能标志着NFT的转折点，提供了更乐观的监管前景。

While the industry has faced headwinds due to market downturns and scrutiny, this decision injects fresh momentum into the sector.

尽管由于市场低迷和审查，该行业面临逆风，但该决定将新的动力注入了该行业。

With a potential NFT bull market on the horizon and OpenSea's SEA token launch in the works, the industry is watching to see what's next for one of the largest marketplaces in the space.

随着潜在的NFT公牛市场的发展，该行业正在观察该行业的下一步，以了解该领域最大的市场之一的下一步。
