8月28日,NFT市场OpenSea首席执行官Devin Finzer称,该公司已收到美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的威尔斯通知(Wells Notice),暗示可能会采取执法行动。

Devin Finzer在X平台上表示,SEC已发布威尔斯通知,指控在其市场上交易的NFT可能被视为未注册证券,OpenSea已准备好“对抗”任何潜在的执法行动。并称SEC瞄准NFT将在更大范围内扼杀创新,数十万网络艺术家和创意人士面临风险,而且许多人没有足够的资源来保护自己。

NFT本质上是创意商品:艺术品、收藏品、电子游戏物品、域名、活动门票等,不应该像监管抵押债务凭证那样监管数字艺术。如果创作者因为监管部门的威胁而停止创作数字艺术,那将是一个可怕的结果。此外,Devin Finzer承诺将提供500万美元,帮助支付收到威尔斯通知的NFT创作者和开发者的法律费用。

一般而言,威尔斯通知并不意味着SEC立即提起诉讼,但该通知披露了对该公司的调查。今年迄今为止,SEC已经针对多家加密公司发出了威尔斯通知,其中包括Uniswap、Consensys和Robinhood。尽管最近的最高法院裁决可能会限制监管机构打击加密公司的权力,但仍有几起案件正在审理中。

各方力挺

威尔斯通知发出后,加密行业的反应非常激烈,而且几乎一致力挺OpenSea。

加密交易所Gemini联合创始人Tyler Winklevoss在X平台表示:“SEC现在正试图声称NFT是证券。接下来是什么?棒球卡?漫画书? Gary Gensler(SEC主席)对加密货币的恶意正在扩大。数字Web3创作者和艺术家现在成为众矢之的。”

贸易组织Crypto Council首席执行官Sheila Warren表示:最新一轮的执法监管由“反加密大军”Gary Gensler推动。我们与OpenSea和世界各地的创作者站在一起,并赞扬Devin Finzer的领导能力。

Variant Fund首席法务官Jake Chervinsky认为,NFT不应该受到几十年前制定的法律(《证券法》于1933年通过)的约束。“20世纪30年代成立的金融市场监管机构将在21世纪20年代对数字艺术拥有管辖权,这种想法不仅违背了常识,也违背了美国证券交易委员会的法定权力”。

Bankless联合创始人Ryan Sean Adams则发布长文,表达了对“美国未来”的担忧。“我之所以涉足加密货币领域,是因为我相信它是我们这一代人最伟大的自由技术。过去几年,看到我的祖国有条不紊地试图扼杀加密货币,是我成年后最深的失望之一。加密货币会没事的,我担心的是美国的未来。”

监管NFT早已开始

其实监视机构早在2023年就开始介入NFT。2023年,SEC首次指控娱乐公司Impact Theory进行未经注册的证券销售,这是SEC处理的第一起涉及NFT的案件之一。SEC要求该公司支付超过600万美元的非法所得、判决前利息和民事罚款。

SEC专员Hester Pierce当时表示:“这一执法行动引发了许多棘手问题。委员会早就应该着手解决这些问题,并在NFT首次开始激增时提供指导。”

此外,有部分艺术家和创作者都意识到NFT在美国陷入监管灰色地带。今年7月份,两名以NFT形式发布其作品的艺术家对SEC提起诉讼,寻求澄清未注册的数字艺术是否会引发执法行动,并称如果他们继续在未经许可的情况下出售艺术品,他们将面临“SEC提起执法诉讼的真正威胁”。目前该案件仍在审理中。

起诉SEC的艺术家之一Brian Frye表示:“针对OpenSea的这份Wells通知正是我们向SEC提起确认性判决诉讼的原因。”另一位原告(艺术家)Jonathan Mann也表达了同样的看法。

“起诉OpenSea就像起诉eBay出售交易卡,或起诉苏富比出售艺术品一样”。“这表明,SEC决定某物是否属于证券的唯一标准是:是否在区块链上?’”

AI Saved a Group of New Energy Investors

The article "AI Saves a Group of New Energy Investors" details a remarkable turnaround in the green energy investment sector, driven by its convergence with artificial intelligence infrastructure. After a prolonged downturn marked by valuation slumps and funding cold spells since 2022, the sector has experienced a dramatic resurgence in 2026. This shift is attributed to new policies, particularly the "AI-Energy Synergy" national strategy, which mandates green power and energy storage systems for new large-scale computing centers. This redefines green electricity and storage from traditional manufacturing into core, indispensable assets for AI's operational backbone, creating a new narrative where "computing power equals electricity, and green power equals assets." This paradigm change is reflected in surging market performance. Power stocks like Datang Power have seen massive gains, and green energy ETFs have recorded significant capital inflows. The IPO market is also active, with companies like Sige New Energy listing successfully. Investment and financing have accelerated sharply, with major expansion projects and large-scale IPOs like China Resources New Energy's record-breaking offering. Notably, some top projects have seen valuations rebound by approximately 60%. The article highlights that the previous industry trough became a prime investment window. With AI-driven demand predicted to create massive power shortfalls (e.g., a projected 55GW gap for data centers), sectors like energy storage, grid upgrades, and green power are seeing explosive growth. Investors are now prioritizing areas like power management, large-scale storage, virtual power plants, and supporting technologies like liquid cooling—the "pick-and-shovel" plays of the AI infrastructure boom. Examples like KKR's highly successful investment in cooling company CoolIT Systems underscore the lucrative opportunities. In conclusion, the integration with AI has sparked a fundamental revaluation of new energy assets. For investors who endured the sector's低谷, a harvest season has arrived, with the broader investment upswing seemingly just beginning.

Learn Codex with the "Morning Briefing": Six Replicable Levels of Use

This article introduces a "Morning Briefing" as a simple, progressive framework for learning to effectively use Codex (an AI assistant), moving from basic information gathering to a more sophisticated, autonomous work partner. It outlines six actionable levels: **Level 1: Basic Information Query.** Start by simply asking Codex to check your Slack, Gmail, and Calendar to summarize what needs your attention today. **Level 2: Personalization with an Agents File.** Create a persistent file containing your default preferences for the briefing's format and content, so it's consistently useful. **Level 3: Automation.** Set the briefing to run automatically every weekday morning, creating a reliable starting point for your day. **Level 4: Project-Specific Briefings.** Instead of one overwhelming summary, create separate, dedicated threads for different projects (e.g., a launch, recruitment), each with its own focused briefing. **Level 5: Drafting Follow-Up Actions.** Elevate the briefing from a summary to an action starter by having it draft replies, prepare meeting notes, or highlight stalled decisions—ready for your review. **Level 6: Building a Memory System (Vault).** Integrate a knowledge vault (a structured file system) where important recurring information (project statuses, key people, decisions) is stored and updated. The briefing consults this vault to provide richer context and learns over time. The approach's strength is its incremental nature. Each level teaches a core Codex capability (connectors, personalization, automation, project context, assisted work, persistent memory) within a familiar, practical workflow, avoiding overwhelming theoretical concepts. It transforms a simple daily check-in into a personalized, evolving work operating system.
