Grayscale voluntarily files Registration Statements on Form 10 with the SEC to provide full and fair risk disclosures and other enhancements for Grayscale's products and provide investors with greater transparency.
Grayscale 自愿向 SEC 提交表格 10 的注册声明，为 Grayscale 的产品提供全面和公平的风险披露和其他增强功能，并为投资者提供更高的透明度。
Grayscale originally filed the Registration Statement for the Trust on April 14, 2023. On May 16, 2023, Grayscale disclosed that it received a comment letter from the SEC staff requesting that Grayscale withdraw the Trust's Registration Statement; the SEC staff stated its view that the Trust's underlying asset, Filecoin (FIL), meets the definition of a security under the federal securities laws.
Grayscale 最初于 2023 年 4 月 14 日提交了信托的注册声明。2023 年 5 月 16 日，Grayscale 披露 它收到了美国证券交易委员会工作人员的评论信，要求Grayscale撤回信托的注册声明；美国证券交易委员会的工作人员表示，该信托的标的资产Filecoin（FIL）符合联邦证券法对证券的定义。
On June 6, 2023, Grayscale responded to the SEC staff with an explanation of the legal basis for Grayscale's position that FIL is not a security through an analysis of Howey case law. In subsequent written correspondence, following the SEC's naming of FIL as a security in certain filings in federal district court, the SEC staff reiterated its request for Grayscale to seek withdrawal of the Trust's Registration Statement. In its withdrawal request, Grayscale noted that it continued to believe that FIL is not a security for the reasons stated in its June 6, 2023, letter.
2023 年 6 月 6 日，Grayscale 通过分析 Howey 判例法，向美国证券交易委员会的工作人员解释了 Grayscale 关于 FIL 不是证券的立场的法律依据。在美国证券交易委员会在联邦地方法院的某些文件中将FIL列为证券之后，美国证券交易委员会工作人员在随后的书面信函中重申了要求Grayscale寻求撤回信托的注册声明的请求。Grayscale在提款请求中指出，出于2023年6月6日信函中所述的原因，它仍然认为FIL不是证券。
