Coinbase 因违反 FOIA 合规性起诉 SEC 和 FDIC，质疑以太坊安全分类

Coinbase 起诉美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 和联邦存款保险公司 (FDIC)，因为它们不愿公布《信息自由法》(FOIA) 涵盖的关键信息。

Coinbase has filed lawsuits against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for their alleged failure to disclose crucial information as per the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The crypto exchange filed the suits in the District Court for the District of Columbia on 27 June.

Coinbase 已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，指控它们未能根据《信息自由法》(FOIA) 披露重要信息。该加密货币交易所于 6 月 27 日向哥伦比亚特区地方法院提起诉讼。

The legal dispute stems from these agencies' efforts to exclude the crypto industry from the broader financial ecosystem, according to the filed complaints. Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terret reported on the development, writing on Twitter, “Coinbase is looking to shed light on what it describes as a ‘deliberate and concerted effort by the SECGov, @FDICgov, and other financial regulators’ to pressure banks to deny crypto firms access to the federal banking system.”

根据提交的投诉，法律纠纷源于这些机构试图将加密货币行业排除在更广泛的金融生态系统之外。福克斯商业新闻记者 Eleanor Terret 报道了这一进展，并在 Twitter 上写道：“Coinbase 正在寻求揭露其所谓的‘SECGov、@FDICgov 和其他金融监管机构故意和协调一致的努力’，向银行施压，要求他们拒绝加密货币。”公司可以进入联邦银行系统。”

Coinbase alleges that these agencies are using their authority to prevent crypto assets and innovations from accessing banking services, thereby stifling the growth and wider acceptance of crypto businesses. Paul Grewal, Coinbase's chief legal officer, stated on Twitter, “Financial regulators have used multiple tools at their disposal to try to cripple the digital-asset industry. SECGov has claimed sweeping authority, but refuses to provide any rules, let alone consistent or coherent ones.”

Coinbase 声称，这些机构正在利用其权力阻止加密资产和创新获得银行服务，从而抑制加密业务的增长和更广泛的接受度。 Coinbase 首席法律官 Paul Grewal 在 Twitter 上表示：“金融监管机构使用了多种可用工具，试图削弱数字资产行业。 SECGov 声称拥有广泛的权力，但拒绝提供任何规则，更不用说一致或连贯的规则了。”

Regarding the FDIC, he added, “While FDICgov pressured financial institutions to cut off the industry from the banking system.” And then, on the FOIA compliance violation, “Today we filed lawsuits under the Freedom of Information Act for requests we made over a year ago seeking important information to which we, and the public, are entitled.”

关于 FDIC，他补充道，“FDICgov 向金融机构施压，要求将该行业与银行系统隔离。”然后，关于违反《信息自由法》的规定，“今天，我们根据一年多前提出的请求，根据《信息自由法》提起诉讼，寻求我们和公众有权获得的重要信息。”

Coinbase's lawsuit also questions the SEC's classification of Ether as a security and its subsequent pursuit of Ethereum and service providers in the US offering services involving Ether. Several businesses, including Coinbase, received Wells Notices from the SEC for listing the asset and offering Ether-related services.

Coinbase 的诉讼还质疑 SEC 将以太币归类为证券，以及随后对美国提供涉及以太币的服务的以太坊和服务提供商的追查。包括 Coinbase 在内的多家企业因列出该资产并提供以太坊相关服务而收到了 SEC 的 Wells 通知。

History Associates, the consulting firm behind Enigma MPC—a crypto firm sued by the SEC for offering unregistered securities through its native ENG tokens—joined Coinbase in the legal battle. The firm filed a separate lawsuit against the FDIC, stating, “This FOIA lawsuit seeks to bring to light the FDIC’s role in that unlawful scheme.” The suit also alleges that the FDIC and the SEC are共同努力“扼殺數字資產產業”。

History Associates 是 Enigma MPC 背后的咨询公司，该公司是一家因通过其原生 ENG 代币提供未注册证券而被美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 起诉的加密货币公司，它也加入了 Coinbase 的法律诉讼。该公司对 FDIC 提起了单独的诉讼，并指出：“该 FOIA 诉讼旨在揭露 FDIC 在该非法计划中所扮演的角色。”诉讼还称，FDIC和SEC正在共同努力“扼杀数字资产产业”。
