Yuga Labs关闭SEC探测，将NFT标记为“非证券”

美国证券交易委员会已正式关闭了对Yuga Labs，无聊的APE游艇俱乐部和Cyber​​punks NFT收藏的公司的调查。

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has closed its investigation into Yuga Labs, the company behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club and CyberPunks NFT collections, without planning to take any further action or issue charges.

美国证券交易委员会已关闭对Yuga实验室的调查，无聊的APE游艇俱乐部和Cyber​​punks NFT收集的公司背后的公司，而无需采取任何进一步的诉讼或发行费用。

The regulator began probing the crypto startup in October 2022 to examine whether certain NFTs could be classified as securities under federal law.

监管机构于2022年10月开始探讨该加密货币初创公司，以检查是否可以根据联邦法律将某些NFT归类为证券。

Specifically, the SEC was investigating whether Yuga Labs’ flagship NFT collections, including Bored Ape Yacht Club and related assets, were marketed in a way that could be considered an investment contract. This would typically be assessed through the criteria of the Howey Test.

具体而言，SEC正在调查Yuga Labs的旗舰NFT收藏品（包括无聊的APE游艇俱乐部和相关资产）是否以可以视为投资合同的方式进行销售。通常，这将通过Howey测试的标准进行评估。

The agency was also scrutinizing the company’s sale of ApeCoin (APE) to determine whether it fell under securities regulations.

该机构还正在仔细检查公司出售Apecoin（APE），以确定其是否根据证券法规而倒下。

Earlier this year, there were reports that the SEC was likely to close its probe into Yuga Labs without any further action being taken.

今年早些时候，有报道称，SEC可能会关闭其对Yuga实验室的调查，而无需采取任何进一步的行动。

However, with the recent confirmation from the agency that the case is now closed and no charges are planned, it marks a significant regulatory victory for Yuga Labs and the NFT industry at large.

但是，据该机构最近确认该案现已关闭并且没有计划，这标志着Yuga Labs和NFT行业的重大监管胜利。

This decision provides some clarity for NFT creators and marketplaces operating in the US.

该决定为在美国运营的NFT创建者和市场提供了一些清晰的信息。

It is part of a broader wave of SEC cases being closed in the crypto sector. Several cases opened previously by the agency are now being terminated by the new leadership, appointed by the Trump administration earlier this year.

它是加密部门关闭SEC案件的更广泛浪潮的一部分。该机构先前开设的几起案件现在已被今年早些时候特朗普政府任命的新领导人终止。

In addition to Yuga Labs, the SEC has also dropped investigations into Robinhood (HOOD), Gemini, Uniswap Labs, Consensys, and OpenSea, according to a report by The Block.

根据该街区的一份报告，除了Yuga实验室外，SEC还放弃了对Robinhood（Hood），Gemini，Uniswap Labs，Consensys和Opensea的调查。

Meanwhile, the agency has settled lawsuits with Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Kraken and is reportedly moving toward a resolution with TRON founder Justin Sun.

同时，该机构已与Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）和KRAKEN解决了诉讼，据报道，该机构正在与Tron创始人Justin Sun一起迈向决议。

This shift in strategy follows years of scrutiny from the SEC, which had been ramping up its enforcement actions against digital asset companies.

这种战略转变是在SEC的多年审查之后，该审查一直在加强针对数字资产公司的执法行动。

The agency has argued that many crypto assets, including certain NFTs, meet the definition of securities under the Howey Test, a legal standard used to determine whether an asset falls under SEC jurisdiction.

该机构认为，许多加密资产（包括某些NFT）在Howey测试下符合证券的定义，这是一种法律标准，用于确定资产是否属于SEC管辖权。

However, industry leaders have pushed back against this classification, arguing that NFTs represent digital ownership and collectibles, while ApeCoin is a decentralized governance token used for voting on proposals within the BAYC ecosystem. They maintain that these assets are not sold as part of an investment contract.

但是，行业领导者已经反对这种分类，认为NFTS代表了数字所有权和收藏品，而Apecoin是一个分散的治理令牌，用于对BAYC生态系统内的建议进行投票。他们坚持认为，这些资产不是作为投资合同的一部分出售的。

Despite the SEC’s decision to close the case and the recent administrative case closures, the agency’s longstanding lawsuit against Ripple remains in active litigation.

尽管SEC决定关闭此案和最近的行政案件，但该机构对Ripple的长期诉讼仍在主动诉讼中。
