2019年9月30日华盛顿特区讯—Block.one就2017年6月26日到2018年7月1日间出售ERC-20代币一案和美国证券交易委员会（SEC）达成民事和解。根据和解协议，Block.one将一次性支付2400万美元的罚款，但它对SEC的调查结果既不承认也不否认。
本次和解主要针对上述期间在以太坊区块链上出售的ERC-20代币，该代币现在已不再流通和交易，和解也未要求该代币在SEC注册为证券。本次和解解决了目前Block.one和SEC之间的所有问题。
SEC同时给予Block.one一项重要的豁免权，这样Block.one就不用受现行的某些限制条件约束，毕竟，大多数此类和解都伴随着这些限制条件。Block.one相信，SEC之所以给予该豁免权是因为Block.one不断承诺在美国，甚至全世界，都会遵守当地法律法规和良好的操守。
该公司就本次和解发布了如下公告：
“我们很高兴能够和证券交易委员会解决这些争议，我们也承诺会继续和执法和立法部门合作，毕竟整个世界在数字资产合规框架这方面越来越清晰。
美国之所以能够取得如此的成就，一个原因是它一直有支持创业精神和新兴科技的传统，我们也鼓励和赞扬各创业者和领导人的努力，不管他们来自技术、金融还是其他领域，但他们都努力在美国营造良好的环境，让技术可以在可预测和更包容的环境下发展和繁荣。
区块链能够更好地把组织和消费者联系起来、增加重要的数据库架构的透明度、实现社会财富分配合理化，这也是我司的一贯追求的目标，我们也会努力为行业发展做贡献，让本行业能够尽量符合政策规定、保持良好的操守。
一如既往，我们感谢社区的支持，是社区让我们实现了各种目标。”

WASHINGTON, D.C., September 30, 2019 – Block.one has reached a civil settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the company’s sale of an ERC-20 token between June 26, 2017 and June 1, 2018. Under the settlement, Block.one will pay a one-time fine of US$24 million, whilst neither admitting nor denying the SEC’s findings.
The settlement relates specifically to the ERC-20 token sold on the Ethereum blockchain during the aforementioned period, which is no longer in circulation or traded, and will not require the token to be registered as a security with the SEC. The settlement resolves all ongoing matters between Block.one and the SEC.
The SEC has simultaneously granted Block.one an important waiver so that Block.one will not be subject to certain ongoing restrictions that would usually apply with settlements of this type. Block.one believes the SEC’s granting of this waiver evidences Block.one’s continuing commitment to compliance and best practices in the United States and globally.
The company issued the following statement regarding the announcement:
“We are excited to resolve these discussions with the SEC and are committed to ongoing collaboration with regulators and policy makers as the world continues to develop more clarity around compliance frameworks for digital assets.
The extraordinary success story of America is in part built upon its rich history of supporting entrepreneurship and emerging technologies, and we encourage and applaud the efforts of entrepreneurs and leaders from tech, finance, and other industries who are striving to make the U.S. an environment where technology can advance and thrive in a predictable and inclusive way.
Blockchain’s ability to better align organizations with their consumers, increase the transparency of critical database infrastructure, and better distribute value and wealth throughout society remains our company’s focus, and we will continue to fight for the development of our industry to achieve as much alignment around policy and best practices as possible.
As always, we are humbled by, and thankful for, the community support that enables everything we do.”
