罗Sir说—合规 | SEC和CFTC的监管拔河
摘要: 所谓的regulation by enforcement,顾名思义,就是通过执法的方式确认自己的对于某件事物的管辖权。
法条 | 总结 |
CFR Title 17 Chapter 2 Part 230 Rule 506(b);Securities Act 1933 Section 4(a)(2) |

CFR Title 17 Chapter 2 Part 230 Rule 506(c) |
可面向公众发行,但发行对象需全部为‘accredited investors’; 需要通过合理步骤确认发行对象是accredited investors; 需要在发行十五天内向SEC递交EDGAR Form D notice |

在美国单一州内进行主要业务的发行方,在该州内、面向该州居民发行对象发行证券,免于向SEC注册; |
Responsible Financial Innocation Act
2022年6月6日,美国参议院参议员Kirsten Gillibrand 以及 Cynthia Lummis向国会递交了Responsible Financial Innovation Act草案,该法案将‘激励区块链领域的创新’并‘设立有史以来最完整的加密货币监管框架’。 其中,该法案:
1. 将多数加密货币与资产定义为‘商品’;
2. 要求稳定币发行方持有所发行稳定币的100%法币保证金资产;
3. 将免除加密货币买卖中低于200美金的资本利得税;
4. 加密货币矿工将不需缴纳资本利得税,直至其最终兑换法币。
该法案如果生效,将对现行监管框架进行进一步的明确,且将大大扩大CFTC对加密货币现货以及衍生品的监管范围,并将SEC对于加密货币的监管职能限制在极小的范围内
SEC/CFTC MOU
2022年6月28日,SEC局长Gensler在采访中表示正在与CFTC商讨签订谅解备忘录(MOU),以寻求两部门更好地配合监管加密货币行业的可能性。 Gensler曾在2009-2013年出任CFTC委员长。
Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act
2022年8月3日,美国参议院参议员Debbie Stabenow向国会递交了Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act草案,该法案将‘几乎所有加密货币置于CFTC的监管职权下’,且‘SEC将只能监管证券’。 其中,该法案:
1. 明确了比特币以及以太币为‘商品’;
2. 将绝大多数加密货币现货交易置于CFTC监管下;
3. 设立Digital Commodities Broker、Dealer、Custodian、Platform等服务供应商分类,由CFTC进行统一监管,并且通过向旗下监管主体收取费用的形式允许CFTC进行扩张。
该法案如果生效,将对现行监管框架进行进一步的明确,将极大程度上扩大CFTC的监管职能,并将‘sideline’SEC对于加密货币行业的监管,但SEC还将保留部分职能,例如对构成securities的ICO的监管。
