OpenSea 首席执行官 Devin Finzer 回应 SEC Wells 通知

周三，最大的不可替代代币 (NFT) 市场 OpenSea 收到了来自美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 的 Wells 通知

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sent a Wells notice to OpenSea, the largest marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), informing the company that the regulator may pursue legal action.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 已向最大的非同质代币 (NFT) 市场 OpenSea 发出 Wells 通知，通知该公司监管机构可能会采取法律行动。

According to the SEC, some NFTs traded on OpenSea may be classified as securities, a designation that would subject them to specific registration and disclosure requirements.

根据 SEC 的说法，在 OpenSea 上交易的一些 NFT 可能被归类为证券，这一名称将使它们受到特定的注册和披露要求的约束。

OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer announced the news in a post on X (formerly Twitter), where he expressed his shock at the SEC’s decision.

OpenSea 首席执行官 Devin Finzer 在 X（以前称为 Twitter）上发布了这一消息，他在其中表达了对 SEC 决定的震惊。

Finzer highlighted the potential impact this move could have on creators and artists, adding, “We are ready to stand up and fight.”

芬泽强调了这一举措可能对创作者和艺术家产生的潜在影响，并补充道，“我们已经准备好站起来战斗。”

The SEC has been actively scrutinizing the cryptocurrency and digital asset landscape, targeting several companies, including Coinbase, Uniswap, and Kraken, for alleged regulatory violations.

美国证券交易委员会一直在积极审查加密货币和数字资产格局，针对包括 Coinbase、Uniswap 和 Kraken 在内的多家涉嫌违反监管规定的公司。

Finzer criticized the SEC’s regulation by enforcement approach, arguing that it stifles innovation and poses risks to “hundreds of thousands” of artists and creators who lack the resources to engage in complex legal battles.

芬泽批评了美国证券交易委员会的执法监管方式，认为它扼杀了创新，并给“数十万”缺乏资源参与复杂法律斗争的艺术家和创作者带来了风险。

He also mentioned a lawsuit filed against the SEC by musician “Songadaymann” and conceptual artist Brian L. Frye, who are concerned about the classification of their creative works as unregistered securities offerings.

他还提到了音乐家“Songadaymann”和概念艺术家 Brian L. Frye 对 SEC 提起的诉讼，他们担心自己的创意作品被归类为未注册的证券发行。

According to Finzer, this legal uncertainty could threaten the livelihoods of many creators in the NFT space. He further stated:

Finzer 认为，这种法律上的不确定性可能会威胁到 NFT 领域许多创作者的生计。他进一步指出：

“NFTs are fundamentally creative goods: art, collectibles, video game items, domain names, event tickets, and more. We should not regulate digital art in the same way we regulate collateralized debt obligations.”

“NFT 本质上是创意商品：艺术品、收藏品、视频游戏物品、域名、活动门票等等。我们不应该像监管债务抵押债券那样监管数字艺术。”

In response to the SEC’s actions, OpenSea has pledged $5 million to support legal fees for NFT creators and developers who receive Wells notices, emphasizing their belief that every creator, regardless of scale, should be able to innovate without fear of regulatory repercussions.

为了回应 SEC 的行动，OpenSea 承诺向收到 Wells 通知的 NFT 创作者和开发者提供 500 万美元的法律费用，强调他们相信每个创作者，无论规模大小，都应该能够进行创新，而不必担心监管后果。
