美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 结束了对 Hiro Systems 的为期三年的调查，Hiro Systems 是比特币 Stacks 第 2 层区块链背后的实体

这一决定对于 Hiro 来说是一个关键时刻，自 2018 年成立以来，Hiro 一直将其原生代币 STX 作为美国法律下的证券。

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded a three-year investigation into Hiro Systems, the entity behind Bitcoin’s Stacks layer-2 blockchain, which raised $70 million through token sales between 2017 and 2019.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 结束了对 Hiro Systems 的为期三年的调查，Hiro Systems 是比特币 Stacks 第 2 层区块链背后的实体，该公司在 2017 年至 2019 年间通过代币销售筹集了 7000 万美元。

According to a regulatory filing on July 12, the SEC has decided not to pursue enforcement action against Hiro Systems PBC, formerly known as Blockstack PBC.

根据 7 月 12 日的监管文件，SEC 决定不对 Hiro Systems PBC（前身为 Blockstack PBC）采取执法行动。

In a letter included in the filing, the SEC stated, “Based on the information we have as of this date, we do not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the Commission against Hiro Systems PBC.”

在文件中包含的一封信中，SEC 表示：“根据我们截至目前掌握的信息，我们不打算建议委员会对 Hiro Systems PBC 采取执法行动。”

This decision marks a pivotal moment for Hiro, which has treated its native token, STX, as a security under US law since its inception in 2018.

这一决定对于 Hiro 来说是一个关键时刻，自 2018 年成立以来，Hiro 一直将其原生代币 STX 作为美国法律下的证券。

Since 2019, Hiro has consistently filed with the SEC under Regulation A+, a registration exemption for smaller securities issuances.

自 2019 年以来，Hiro 一直根据 A+ 条例向美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 备案，这是针对小型证券发行的注册豁免。

Additionally, it utilized exemptions under Regulations D and S for private and international offerings respectively.

此外，它还分别对私募和国际发行利用了 D 条例和 S 条例规定的豁免。

In 2021, Hiro argued that the Stacks blockchain had achieved sufficient decentralization, asserting that it no longer qualified as a securities issuer.

2021年，Hiro辩称Stacks区块链已经实现了足够的去中心化，并声称它不再具备证券发行人的资格。

In a filing, the company stated, “Management concluded further that if Hiro is no longer in the position of providing, and will no longer be able to provide, essential managerial services to the Stacks Blockchain, then it is no longer necessary for Hiro to treat the Stacks Tokens as investment contracts that are securities under the federal securities laws.”

该公司在一份文件中表示，“管理层进一步得出结论，如果 Hiro 不再能够且不再能够为 Stacks 区块链提供基本的管理服务，那么 Hiro 就不再需要将 Stacks 代币视为联邦证券法下的证券投资合同。”

This decision by the SEC comes shortly after another crypto-related investigation was dropped earlier in the week.

本周早些时候，另一项与加密货币相关的调查被撤销后不久，美国证券交易委员会就做出了这一决定。

On July 11, Paxos announced that the SEC had opted against enforcement action related to its investigation of the Binance USD stablecoin.

7 月 11 日，Paxos 宣布 SEC 选择不对币安美元稳定币调查采取执法行动。

Despite these decisions, the SEC continues to pursue enforcement actions against other firms in the crypto space, such as Ripple, Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase.

尽管做出了这些决定，美国证券交易委员会仍继续对加密货币领域的其他公司采取执法行动，例如 Ripple、Binance、Kraken 和 Coinbase。

Recent legal developments, including a significant Supreme Court ruling in June, have constrained the SEC’s regulatory approach.

最近的法律发展，包括最高法院 6 月份的一项重大裁决，限制了 SEC 的监管方式。

The Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright v. Raimondo overturned the Chevron Doctrine, limiting the SEC’s flexibility in enforcing existing laws.

最高法院在 Loper Bright 诉 Raimondo 案中的裁决推翻了雪佛龙主义，限制了 SEC 执行现有法律的灵活性。

Moreover, recent court rulings against Ripple and Binance have further shaped the regulatory landscape for crypto issuers, challenging the SEC’s interpretations of securities laws.

此外，最近针对 Ripple 和 Binance 的法院裁决进一步塑造了加密货币发行人的监管格局，挑战了 SEC 对证券法的解释。
