Solana, Cardano, and Polygon May Avoid 'Securities' Classification for Now in SEC-Binance Lawsuit

A new court filing shows that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might be holding off on declaring altcoins like Solana, Cardano

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might be holding off on declaring altcoins like Solana, Cardano, and Polygon unregistered securities in an ongoing Binance lawsuit, giving the "third party crypto assets" more time to avoid being designated securities, according to a new court filing.

However, the crypto community celebrated the news after former President Donald Trump spoke out against the SEC at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville over the weekend. While there's no information suggesting that Trump directly intervened to produce the shift, his speech included plans to oust current SEC chairman Gary Gensler to exuberant applause.

Trump's speech came as the SEC has angered the crypto community for going after high-profile crypto firms, and failing to provide transparency and clarity to help the industry grow amid regulatory red tape. Despite previously calling crypto a "scam," Trump embraced crypto talking points of unseating the chairman of the SEC, and took meetings with crypto figures in Nashville for $800,000 a person.

In the court filing, the SEC proposed an amendment to its original complaint, which was filed last summer and alleged that Binance sold unregistered securities through its Binance Coin (BNB) and mishandled customer funds. The agency said it planned to drop allegations related to Filecoin, Algorand, Axie Infinity, Decentraland, Cosmos and other third party digital assets.

如果修正案成功，SEC 還要求法院不要急於立即對這些山寨幣的法律分類作出判決，因為它正在研究全球交易量最大的加密貨幣交易所幣安如何涉嫌不當處理客戶資金並違反規定。證券法.

「美國證券交易委員會認為法院目前沒有必要就這些代幣的指控的充分性做出裁決，」該機構在文件中表示。 「當然，法院仍可能稍後對這些代幣以及其他代幣做出決定。」

Solana、Cardano、Polygon 可能在 SEC-Binance 訴訟中暫時避免「證券」分類

Solana (SOL)、Cardano (ADA) 和 Polygon (MATIC) 等眾多山寨幣均已被 SEC 在針對幣安的持續訴訟中不再指控為未註冊證券。

這項新進展是在加密社群對 SEC 對加密產業的處理方式表示憤怒之後發布的，其中包括追蹤 Kraken 和 BlockFi 等知名加密公司。儘管 SEC 在 FTX 崩潰後加強了監管力度，但加密貨幣社群的成員一直呼籲該機構更明確地說明證券法下數位資產的分類方式。

近幾個月來，要求 Gensler 辭去 SEC 主席職務的呼聲越來越高，特別是在拜登總統任命他擔任這一職務之後，儘管他之前曾聲明加密貨幣是騙局。有趣的是，川普在納許維爾比特幣會議上的演講中接受了這個話題。

川普在活動中表示：「他們派了一個來自高盛的討厭加密貨幣的人。他想監管加密貨幣，讓其消失。」 「我們將共同擺脫加密貨幣主席，並任命一位了解加密貨幣世界、希望幫助加密貨幣在美國發展的人。

隨後在演講中，川普提到以每人 80 萬美元的價格在納許維爾會見加密貨幣人物，他表示這將用於支付活動費用。 「我非常喜歡加密貨幣。我認為它很棒，」他補充道。

加密貨幣交易所 Gemini 聯合創始人 Tyler Winklevoss 週二在社交媒體上寫道：“我們愛唐納德。他為加密貨幣拯救了世界。”

Winklevoss 感謝川普在主流媒體上改變了加密貨幣的敘述，並公開反對 SEC。然而，值得注意的是，法庭文件或川普的演講中沒有任何資訊表明川普直接幹預導致 SEC 對幣安訴訟態度的轉變。

目前，解決法律分類問題的決定取決於幣安和 SEC 是否就訴訟發現階段的日期達成一致，幣安希望推遲這一日期，直到審查 SEC 對投訴提出的修正案。

幣安的律師表示：“美國證券交易委員會期望他們同意對美國證券交易委員會可能很快尋求許可修改其指控的指控進行案情調查，這是不成熟且不合理的。”
