來源:傷風Quantstamp區塊鏈安全公司,已經下令美國證券交易委員會(SEC)返回2800萬美元在2017年首次硬幣發行無記名(ICO)。7月21日,美國證券交易委員會(SEC)指控Quantstamp進行未注冊圖標,在他們本國QSP令牌賣給大約5000名投資者,籌集大量開發Ethereum區塊鏈自動安全審計技術的智能合同。然而,美國證券交易委員會(SEC)順序顯示圖標後,Quantstamp允許其令牌(QSP)在第三方交易數字資產交易平台沒有注冊發行和銷售,提升了對監管當局的關注。新聞發布聲明“Quantstamp同意解決指控被迫交出所得提供和支付民事處罰。”Quantstampagreed to pay nearly $2.5 million in disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and a $1 million civil penalty as part of the settlement. The firm settled the charges without admitting or rejecting the SEC's findings. The decree mandates the establishment of a "Fair Fund" to compensate affected investors. Quantstamp has agreed to transfer its QSP token holdings to the administrator of the Fair Fund, with those tokens to be "permanently disabled or destroyed." What Happened: A Look at Quantstamp's ICO for QSP Tokens Deemed Securities Quantstamp is a security-auditing protocol that focuses on addressing smart contract security concerns. Its primary objective is to provide risk assessment and security services on the Ethereum blockchain, encouraging widespread blockchain adoption and protecting the decentralized internet from hacking and theft. The project aimed to establish a distributed network of participants, including contributors, bug finders, validators, contract users, contract creators, and voters. It aimed that diverse network would work collaboratively to counteract the impact of bad actors, facilitate governance, and offer significant computing power. According to Quantstamp's whitepaper , participants play a vital role in using QSP tokens for different purposes, including receiving, paying for, or improving verification services. The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) for the tokens aimed to raise funds to develop and promote their automated smart contract security auditing platform. SEC Allegations and Regulatory Compliance Issues Surrounding Quantstamp's QSP Tokens As the QSP Tokens were sold on third-party exchanges, the SEC alleged that purchasers had a "reasonable expectation of profit from Quantstamp's efforts," leading to accusations against the blockchain security company. The SEC noted that despite filing a Form D claiming exemption under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D and according to Regulation S, Quantstamp still needs to meet the criteria for any exemption to registration. As a result, the SEC found that Quantstamp had failed to register the offers and sales of QSP tokens, which were deemed securities according to the order. After the settlement, Quantstamp, which finalized its automated smart contract security auditing platform in June 2019, will no longer operate or provide its service. The price of the Quantstamp token has dropped by 4.00% over the last 7 days and declined by 4.79% in the past 24 hours. The current price is $0.0115 per QSP, representing a significant 98.68% decrease from its all-time high of $0.87.
