美国证券交易委员会在里维茨案上取得重大胜利，继续在加密货币领域展开更广泛的法律斗争

由主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 领导的美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 在加密货币监管方面一直保持强硬立场。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has scored a significant victory in its legal battle against Rivetz, a now-defunct mobile crypto wallet company.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 在针对现已解散的移动加密钱包公司 Rivetz 的法律诉讼中取得了重大胜利。

According to a recent court filing, U.S. District Judge Mark Mastroianni has granted the SEC's motion for summary judgment in the case. This means that the court has ruled on the matter based on the evidence presented, without proceeding to a trial.

根据最近的一份法庭文件，美国地区法官马克·马斯楚安尼 (Mark Mastroianni) 已批准美国证券交易委员会对此案提出的简易判决动议。这意味着法院已根据所提供的证据对此事做出裁决，而无需进行审判。

The SEC filed a legal action against Rivetz in 2021, alleging that the firm sold $18 million in unregistered securities during an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2017, thus violating the Securities Act.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 于 2021 年对 Rivetz 提起法律诉讼，指控该公司在 2017 年的首次代币发行 (ICO) 期间出售了 1800 万美元的未注册证券，从而违反了《证券法》。

Specifically, the regulator cited Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act 1933 in its complaint.

具体来说，监管机构在投诉中引用了《1933 年证券法》第 5(a) 和 5(c) 条。

The SEC maintained in its filing that Rivetz's CEO personally promoted the ICO within the United States without filing a prior registration statement, which is a violation of the Securities Act.

SEC 在其文件中坚称，Rivetz 首席执行官在未提交事先注册声明的情况下亲自在美国境内推广 ICO，这违反了《证券法》。

As per the court's ruling, Rivetz CEO Steven Sprague now has until October 22 to submit a proposed judgment for 'injunctive and monetary relief.' Additionally, Judge Mastroianni ruled that Sprague may file objections to the judgment no later than November 5, 2024.

根据法院的裁决，Rivetz 首席执行官 Steven Sprague 现在必须在 10 月 22 日之前提交“禁令和金钱救济”的拟议判决。此外，马斯楚安尼法官裁定，斯普拉格可以在 2024 年 11 月 5 日之前对判决提出异议。

The SEC alleged that a portion of the ICO proceeds were misused, with the founder receiving $1 million as a bonus and an additional $2.5 million loan to purchase property in the Cayman Islands.

SEC 指控 ICO 收益的一部分被滥用，创始人获得 100 万美元奖金和额外 250 万美元贷款用于在开曼群岛购买房产。

Despite offering advanced blockchain security solutions for mobile devices integrated with cryptocurrency wallets, Rivetz struggled to gain significant traction in the crypto market.

尽管为与加密货币钱包集成的移动设备提供了先进的区块链安全解决方案，但 Rivetz 仍难以在加密市场获得显着的吸引力。

The ruling in the SEC's case against Rivetz is part of the broader legal efforts by the regulatory body against various crypto entities.

美国证券交易委员会针对 Rivetz 案件的裁决是监管机构针对各种加密实体的更广泛法律努力的一部分。

For example, the SEC has been engaged in a four-year legal battle against Ripple, initially seeking a $2 billion fine for allegedly violating federal securities laws. The SEC claimed that Ripple sold XRP directly to institutional clients.

例如，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 与 Ripple 展开了长达四年的法律斗争，最初要求以涉嫌违反联邦证券法为由处以 20 亿美元的罚款。 SEC 声称 Ripple 直接向机构客户出售 XRP。

However, in a significant development, Federal Judge Analisa Torres ruled that Ripple should only pay $125 million in fines with an injunction against future violations.

然而，一个重大进展是，联邦法官 Analisa Torres 裁定 Ripple 仅需支付 1.25 亿美元的罚款，并禁止未来的违规行为。

Although the fine is more than 12 times the amount ($10 million) Ripple argued for, it is considerably smaller than the SEC's $2 billion proposal, which many view as a major win for Ripple in its case against the SEC.

尽管罚款是 Ripple 主张的金额（1000 万美元）的 12 倍多，但它比 SEC 提出的 20 亿美元提议要小得多，许多人认为这是 Ripple 在针对 SEC 的案件中取得的重大胜利。

Moreover, crypto exchanges Binance and Coinbase have also faced legal challenges from the SEC.

此外，加密货币交易所 Binance 和 Coinbase 也面临着 SEC 的法律挑战。

In 2023, the regulatory body sued Binance Holdings Limited and its founder, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, for operating as an unlicensed securities exchange in the U.S.

2023 年，监管机构起诉币安控股有限公司及其创始人赵长鹏“CZ”，称其在美国经营无牌证券交易所

The SEC also brought an enforcement action against Coinbase, alleging that the firm acted as an unregistered broker. In its defense, the exchange argued that the SEC has been inconsistent and lacked transparency in its actions related to cryptocurrency.

美国证券交易委员会还对 Coinbase 采取了执法行动，指控该公司充当未注册经纪人。该交易所在辩护中辩称，美国证券交易委员会在与加密货币相关的行动中不一致且缺乏透明度。

As the race to the White House intensifies, both the Republican and Democratic parties have attempted to appeal to voters within the crypto community, with political analysts suggesting that cryptocurrency could play a pivotal role in the November election.

随着白宫竞选的加剧，共和党和民主党都试图吸引加密货币社区内的选民，政治分析人士认为加密货币可能在 11 月的选举中发挥关键作用。

Unsurprisingly, SEC Chair Gary Gensler has faced scrutiny from lawmakers in Congress recently.

不出所料，美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 最近面临国会议员的审查。

Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, a known advocate for digital assets, has openly criticized Gensler, accusing him of stifling innovation and failing to provide clear, proactive guidance in the SEC's regulatory oversight of the crypto space.

怀俄明州参议员辛西娅·卢米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 是一位著名的数字资产倡导者，她公开批评 Gensler，指责他扼杀创新，并且未能为 SEC 对加密货币领域的监管提供明确、主动的指导。

According to industry experts, the intense focus on Gensler may促使the SEC to adopt a softer approach to avoid further antagonizing the crypto ecosystem. The outcomes of the pending cases between the SEC and the various crypto entities remain to be seen.

行业专家表示，对 Gensler 的强烈关注可能会促使 SEC 采取更温和的方法，以避免进一步对抗加密货币生态系统。 SEC 与各个加密货币实体之间的未决案件的结果仍有待观察。
