Bittrex Global CEO:公司將對美SEC的指控進行抗辯:金色財經報道,Bittrex Global首席執行官Oliver lynch在接受采訪時表示,美國證券交易委員會(SEC)指控加密貨幣交易所Bittrex Global GmbH違反了當地證券法是“錯誤的”。Linch表示,Bittrex Global在收到SEC已“得出初步結論”的通知之前,并不知道自己是SEC調查的對象。他補充說,監管機構沒有給Bittrex Global“解釋事實”的機會。此外,Linch聲稱,該公司“從未聲稱在美國提供服務”,并將“大力”捍衛其在美國沒有任何客戶的立場。此外,他還表示,Bittrex的關閉并不影響Bittrex Global的全球運營,“Bittrex 是一個完全獨立的法人實體,只在美國提供服務,并且只為美國客戶提供服務。Global繼續像以往一樣向世界其他地區的客戶提供服務,”
此前報道,美SEC在今年3月向Bittrex發出韋爾斯通知,指控Bittrex在未向監管機構注冊的情況下作為交易所、經紀自營商和票據交易所開展業務,違反了法律,后者將于4月30日關閉美國業務。[2023/4/27 14:29:04]
律師:SEC對Terra的訴訟可被視為SEC取締其他穩定幣的“路線圖”:金色財經報道,Delphi Labs總法律顧問Gabriel Shapiro在推特上表示,美國證券交易委員會(SEC)對Terraform Labs及其聯合創始人Do Kwon的訴訟可被視為SEC取締其他穩定幣的“路線圖”。Shapiro稱,SEC在對此次訴訟中的論點“比平時更徹底”。SEC的這場訴訟有四個第一次:1.聲稱穩定幣(UST)是一種證券;2.聲稱合成股票(mAsset)是(證券)互換;3,聲稱“封裝代幣”(wLUNA)是一種證券。4.不對代幣使用Howey測試,而是使用“枚舉證券”類型的論點來支持其認為wLUNA是證券的“收據”因而是證券的觀點。
今日早些時候消息,SEC起訴Terraform Labs和Do Kwon,指控其誤導投資者和銷售未注冊證券。[2023/2/17 12:13:18]
Nansen:巨鯨69secrets.eth或為三箭債權人Mirana的地址:7月30日消息,區塊鏈分析公司Nansen發布報告揭露巨鯨錢包地址69secrets.eth的身份,推測其為Mirana的地址。
Mirana Corp的地址(0x738505fa491c972a196582176685fc790d2bdda5)被列入三箭資本(3AC)債權人名單,該地址屬于Mirana Ventures。Mirana被清算3700多萬美元的抵押品,但3AC仍欠其1300萬美元。
Nansen指出,之所以將注意力轉向Mirana,是因為該公司網站上列出的投資項目包括BitDAO、Windranger Labs等,而Mirana本身知名度不太高。Mirana還向新加坡法院對3AC提起法律訴訟。(The Crypto Basic)[2022/7/30 2:48:12]
美SEC主席:提供回報的加密貨幣產品無法逃避監管:9月30日消息,據英國《金融時報》報道,美國證券交易委員會(SEC)主席根斯勒表示,向投資者承諾回報的加密貨幣平臺不要以為自己可以避開SEC的監管。他警告稱,沒有保障,許多人會受害。SEC的立場基于“豪威測試”,即如果有人投資于共同事業且只預期從第三方的努力中獲利,那么該投資合約就要受到聯邦證券法的約束。[2021/9/30 17:17:29]
美國SEC專員:DeFi給SEC帶來了新的挑戰:金色財經報道,美國證券交易委員會(SEC)專員、“加密媽媽”Hester Peirce表示,DeFi和Eth2.0對監管者來說是全新的挑戰,希望將重點放在DeFi和未來的以太坊項目的監管指南上。Peirce稱,快速發展的DeFi導致了許多未解決的法律問題,給SEC帶來了新的挑戰。[2020/12/5 14:02:41]
