Coinbase 因涉嫌违反《信息自由法》而起诉 SEC 和 FDIC

该加密货币交易所指责这些机构不公平地拒绝《信息自由法》（FOIA）的请求。

Coinbase has filed a lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in a U.S. District Court in Colombia, accusing the agencies of unfairly rejecting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) solicitations.

Coinbase 已向哥伦比亚美国地方法院对美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 和联邦存款保险公司 (FDIC) 提起诉讼，指控这些机构不公平地拒绝《信息自由法》(FOIA) 的招标。

The complaint, filed through consultancy firm History Associates Inc., alleges that the SEC and FDIC have stonewalled crypto-related policy clarity and violated FOIA obligations. FOIA requests allow public access to records held by U.S. watchdogs, which Coinbase asserts were unjustly denied.

该投诉通过咨询公司 History Associates Inc. 提交，指控 SEC 和 FDIC 阻碍加密货币相关政策的明确性，并违反了《信息自由法》的义务。 FOIA 请求允许公众查阅美国监管机构持有的记录，但 Coinbase 声称这一要求遭到了不公正的拒绝。

In 2ypalments“Coinbase is now engaged with the SEC on three fronts seeking regulatory clarity.”

在 2ypalments 中，“Coinbase 目前正在三个方面与 SEC 合作，以寻求监管的明确性。”

Coinbase filed a FOIA request through History Associates in 2023 to obtain documents pertaining to the SEC’s approach to Ethereum and the classification of its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH). The firm also sought investigative information on cease-and-desist orders issued to Enigma MPC and Etherdelta founder Zachary Coburn.

Coinbase 于 2023 年通过 History Associates 提交了《信息自由法》请求，以获取有关 SEC 对以太坊的处理方法及其原生加密货币以太币 (ETH) 分类的文件。该公司还寻求有关向 Enigma MPC 和 Etherdelta 创始人 Zachary Coburn 发出的停止令的调查信息。

Moreover, following an FDIC report in October that directed financial institutions to pause all operations related to crypto-assets, Coinbase requested copies of the letters. Both the SEC and FDIC denied these requests multiple times, prompting Coinbase to pursue legal action.

此外，在 FDIC 10 月份的一份报告指示金融机构暂停所有与加密资产相关的业务之后，Coinbase 要求提供这些信件的副本。 SEC 和 FDIC 多次拒绝这些请求，促使 Coinbase 采取法律行动。

The cryptocurrency exchange alleges that these agencies, particularly the SEC, have engaged in a deliberate effort to exclude cryptocurrency from the U.S. financial system.

加密货币交易所声称，这些机构，特别是美国证券交易委员会，故意将加密货币排除在美国金融体系之外。

“The SEC’s rationale for withholding documents from investigations that concluded in settlements years ago is tailor-made to frustrate the legitimate purposes for which Coinbase sought the Coburn and Enigma MPC documents in the first place—to understand the view of the law that underlies the SEC’s enforcement blitzkrieg against the digital asset industry,” reads an excerpt from the lawsuit.

“SEC 扣留多年前达成和解调查结果的文件的理由是专门为了挫败 Coinbase 寻求 Coburn 和 Enigma MPC 文件的合法目的而设计的，即了解 SEC 所依据的法律观点。针对数字资产行业的执法闪电战”，诉讼摘录中写道。

This lawsuit adds to a series of disputes between Coinbase and the SEC. The complaints highlight what Coinbase and other crypto industry participants describe as a “regulation by enforcement” approach.

这起诉讼加剧了 Coinbase 与 SEC 之间的一系列纠纷。这些投诉凸显了 Coinbase 和其他加密货币行业参与者所描述的“执法监管”方法。

SEC Chair Gary Gensler has frequently criticized the digital asset landscape for fraud practices and non-compliance. Coinbase is now engaged with the SEC on three fronts seeking regulatory clarity.

美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 经常批评数字资产领域的欺诈行为和违规行为。 Coinbase 目前正在三个方面与 SEC 合作，以寻求监管的明确性。

In June, SEC attorneys sued Coinbase for allegedly facilitating unregistered securities trading and operating an illegal securities exchange. Additionally, Coinbase filed a rule-making petition in 2022, which has advanced to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

6 月，SEC 律师起诉 Coinbase，指控其为未注册的证券交易提供便利并经营非法证券交易所。此外，Coinbase 于 2022 年提交了一份规则制定请愿书，该请愿书已提交至美国第三巡回上诉法院。

This ongoing legal battle underscores the tension between regulatory bodies and the burgeoning cryptocurrency industry.

这场持续的法律斗争凸显了监管机构和新兴的加密货币行业之间的紧张关系。
