耐克关闭其加密货币单元RTFKT后起诉

这家体育巨头被指控放弃其NFT投资者在其加密货币司RTFKT突然关闭后，在美国面临集体诉讼。

After abruptly shutting down RTFKT, its division dedicated to NFTs and crypto assets, US sports giant Nike is facing a class action lawsuit.

在突然关闭RTFKT（致力于NFTS和加密资产的部门）之后，美国体育巨头Nike正面临集体诉讼。

The plaintiffs, led by Australian Jagdeep Cheema, are claiming over $5 million in damages, alleging violations of consumer protection laws in New York, California, Florida, and Oregon.

由澳大利亚Jagdeep Cheema领导的原告要求赔偿超过500万美元，指控违反了纽约，加利福尼亚，佛罗里达州和俄勒冈州的消费者保护法。

According to the complaint, filed in Brooklyn federal court on April 25, the sports brand sold unregistered securities in the form of NFTs before “pulling the rug out from under” buyers by shutting down RTFKT.

根据4月25日在布鲁克林联邦法院提起的投诉，体育品牌以NFT的形式出售了未注册的证券，然后通过关闭RTFKT“将地毯从下面的买家撤出”。

Had the risks been properly disclosed, the plaintiffs would never have invested in these digital tokens or would have done so at much lower prices, the lawsuit stated.

诉讼称，如果正确披露了风险，原告永远不会在这些数字代币上投资，或者以更低的价格这样做。

However, this unexpected shutdown drastically depreciated the value of NFTs linked to RTFKT, leaving many buyers in a state of uncertainty.

但是，这种意外的关闭极大地贬低了与RTFKT相关的NFT的价值，使许多买家处于不确定性状态。

The case also raises a crucial question in the crypto realm: should NFTs be deemed securities subject to American regulation?

该案在加密货币领域也提出了一个至关重要的问题：NFT是否应视为受美国法规的证券？

Nasdaq is precisely putting pressure on the SEC to enforce this regulation.

纳斯达克正好对SEC施加压力，以执行这一法规。

At present, neither Nike has responded to the lawsuit nor did Phillip Kim, the lawyer for the plaintiffs.

目前，耐克都没有回应诉讼，也没有对原告的律师菲利普·金（Phillip Kim）作出回应。

As a reminder, in December 2021, Nike acquired RFTKT, known for its innovative approach combining fashion, culture, and the gaming universe.

提醒我们，耐克收购了RFTKT，该RFTKT以其创新方法结合了时尚，文化和游戏宇宙而闻名。

But on December 2, 2024, the sports equipment company quietly announced the conclusion of the RTFKT integration process, stating that the brand’s legacy would continue through other creators and projects.

但是在2024年12月2日，运动器材公司悄悄宣布了RTFKT集成过程的结论，并指出该品牌的遗产将通过其他创作者和项目继续。

This lawsuit against Nike highlights the growing difficulties major brands face when venturing into the still ambiguous and risky NFT and crypto domain.

这项针对耐克的诉讼强调了主要品牌越来越多的困难在冒险进入仍然含糊不清的NFT和加密型领域时面临的。

The outcome of this case could influence the future regulation of digital assets in the United States, which we hope will be positive under Paul Atkins's leadership.

这项案件的结果可能会影响美国对数字资产的未来监管，我们希望在保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）的领导下，这将是积极的。
