SEC 将 Lido 和 Rocketpool 质押服务视为未注册证券

这与最近针对加密货币公司的诉讼趋势是一致的。美国证券交易委员会（SEC）主席加里·詹斯勒（Gary Gensler）最近声称，Lido 和 Rocket Pool 等著名的去中心化金融（DeFi）举措构成证券。

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accused ConsenSys, the company behind MetaMask, of engaging in the unregistered sale and offer of securities.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 指控 MetaMask 背后的公司 ConsenSys 参与未经注册的证券销售和要约。

Specifically, the SEC alleges that Lido and Rocket Pool, which offer liquid staking tokens like stETH and rETH, have been able to sell unregistered securities through ConsenSys since January 2023. These tokens can be easily traded and used, unlike traditional staked assets.

具体来说，SEC 声称，自 2023 年 1 月以来，提供 stETH 和 rETH 等流动质押代币的 Lido 和 Rocket Pool 一直能够通过 ConsenSys 出售未注册的证券。与传统的质押资产不同，这些代币可以轻松交易和使用。

The SEC claims that ConsenSys is breaking the law by acting as a broker for these transactions and failing to register as required.

SEC 声称 ConsenSys 充当这些交易的经纪人且未按要求注册，从而违反了法律。

However, both Rocket Pool and Lido have failed to register any offering or sale of these investment contracts with the Commission. This lack of registration has put these companies in the SEC's crosshairs.

然而，Rocket Pool 和 Lido 均未向委员会登记任何这些投资合同的发售或出售。由于缺乏注册，这些公司成为了 SEC 的目标。

ConsenSys has hit back at the SEC's allegations, accusing the agency of regulatory overreach and an anti-crypto agenda. The company has called the latest charges part of the SEC's "heavy-handed approach to crypto regulation."

ConsenSys 回击了 SEC 的指控，指责该机构监管过度和反加密议程。该公司称最新指控是美国证券交易委员会“严厉的加密货币监管方法”的一部分。

Crypto investor and commentator Ryan Sean Adams argues that these regulatory actions are part of a broader, systemic effort to undermine the crypto industry, which is popular among retail investors in the U.S. He believes that Gensler's aggressive approach could harm these popular initiatives and hinder the growth of the crypto sector.

加密货币投资者和评论员瑞安·肖恩·亚当斯 (Ryan Sean Adams) 认为，这些监管行动是破坏加密货币行业的更广泛、系统性努力的一部分，加密货币行业在美国散户投资者中很受欢迎。他认为 Gensler 的激进做法可能会损害这些受欢迎的举措并阻碍增长加密货币行业。

According to Adams, these regulatory actions are politically motivated. He argues that Gensler's approach could alienate swing voters and hurt President Biden's chances of being reelected. Adams adds that Biden is not directly overseeing these policies, but they are part of a broader policy of administrative state expansion and control.

亚当斯认为，这些监管行动是出于政治动机。他认为，詹斯勒的做法可能会疏远摇摆选民，并损害拜登总统连任的机会。亚当斯补充说，拜登并不直接监督这些政策，但它们是更广泛的国家行政扩张和控制政策的一部分。

He also notes that Democrats could have highlighted crypto earlier in the year, but they have now lost that opportunity.

他还指出，民主党本可以在今年早些时候强调加密货币，但他们现在已经失去了这个机会。

The SEC's lawsuit against ConsenSys is part of a wider crackdown on staking services in the crypto industry. Earlier this year, Kraken settled with the SEC for $30 million and shut down its staking services for U.S. customers.

美国证券交易委员会对 ConsenSys 的诉讼是对加密行业质押服务更广泛打击的一部分。今年早些时候，Kraken 以 3000 万美元与 SEC 达成和解，并关闭了对美国客户的质押服务。
