SEC 与 eToro 平台达成的和解标志着对以太坊观点的转变

作为 SEC 与加密货币平台 eToro 和解的一部分，披露的一个关键细节表明该机构对以太坊 ETH/USD 的看法发生了巨大转变。

A key detail has emerged from the SEC's settlement with cryptocurrency platform eToro, hinting at a drastic shift in the agency's perspective on Ethereum (ETH).

美国证券交易委员会与加密货币平台 eToro 达成的和解协议出现了一个关键细节，暗示该机构对以太坊 (ETH) 的看法发生了巨大转变。

What Happened: As part of the press release on Thursday, the SEC stated that the U.S. arm of the Israel-based multi-asset company’s operations violated federal securities laws by enabling the trading of cryptocurrencies.

发生了什么：作为周四新闻稿的一部分，美国证券交易委员会表示，这家总部位于以色列的多资产公司的美国分支机构允许加密货币交易，违反了联邦证券法。

The company agreed to pay $1.5 million in penalties and scale back its cryptocurrency operations in the country. A significant aspect of the settlement was the directive to halt the trade of all other cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Ethereum.

该公司同意支付 150 万美元的罚款，并缩减其在该国的加密货币业务。和解协议的一个重要方面是指令停止除比特币（BTC）、比特币现金（BCH）和以太坊之外的所有其他加密货币的交易。

While Bitcoin and its offshoots were considered commodities, the SEC, under the leadership of Gary Gensler, had been unclear on whether Ethereum should be classified as a security.

虽然比特币及其衍生品被视为商品，但在加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 的领导下，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 一直不清楚以太坊是否应被归类为证券。

The settlement, coupled with the approval for Ethereum exchange-traded funds in July, seemed to end years-long ambiguity on the matter.

此次和解，加上 7 月份以太坊交易所交易基金获得批准，似乎结束了该问题长达数年的模糊状态。

Interestingly, in June, blockchain software company ConsenSys announced that the SEC has closed its investigation into Ethereum’s security question.

有趣的是，今年 6 月，区块链软件公司 ConsenSys 宣布 SEC 已结束对以太坊安全问题的调查。

In a parallel development, SEC Chair Gensler, who is known for his critical stance on the cryptocurrency industry, was under investigation by Republican lawmakers for allegedly engaging in political favoritism during the SEC’s hiring process.

与此同时，以对加密货币行业持批评态度而闻名的 SEC 主席 Gensler 因涉嫌在 SEC 招聘过程中存在政治偏袒而受到共和党议员的调查。

Price Action: At the time of writing, Ether was exchanging hands at $2,350.22, down 0.58% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
