加密貨幣市場經歷了忙碌的一周：新加坡封鎖 Polymarket、Tether 將遷往薩爾瓦多、法官命令 SEC 解釋加密貨幣監管的缺失、BitMEX 受到額外處罰、俄克拉荷馬州將引入比特幣戰略儲備、納斯達克申請金絲雀萊特幣ETF，川普將透過行政命令優先考慮加密貨幣

新加坡封鎖了Polymarket，Tether 將搬遷到薩爾瓦多，法官命令SEC 解釋缺乏加密貨幣監管的情況，BitMEX 受到額外處罰，俄克拉荷馬州將引入比特幣戰略儲備，納斯達克申請金絲雀萊特幣ETF ，以及川普將透過行政命令優先考慮加密貨幣。

Singapore’s gambling regulator has blocked prediction marketplace Polymarket, defining it as an “illegal gambling site.”

新加坡賭博監管機構封鎖了預測市場 Polymarket，將其定義為「非法賭博網站」。

Singapore's Gaming Regulatory Authority (GRA) has warned users that Singapore Pools is the only licensed gambling operator in the country and that Polymarket is considered illegal.

新加坡博彩監管局 (GRA) 警告用戶，新加坡博彩公司是該國唯一獲得許可的博彩運營商，Polymarket 被視為非法。

“Under Section 20 of the Gambling Control Act 2022, a person convicted of gambling with unlicensed gambling service providers is liable for a fine of up to $10,000, or a jail term of up to six months, or both,” the GRA stated.

GRA 表示：「根據2022 年《賭博控制法》第20 條，被定罪與無證賭博服務提供者賭​​博的人將被處以最高10,000 美元的罰款，或最高6 個月的監禁，或兩者併罰。

This is the latest action taken against Polymarket. In August, Polymarket came under scrutiny as US lawmakers ramped up efforts to ban gambling on American elections.

這是針對 Polymarket 採取的最新行動。 8 月，隨著美國立法者加大力度禁止在美國大選期間賭博，Polymarket 受到嚴格審查。

In November, Polymarket faced regulatory action in France after an anonymous trader netted nearly $50 million wagering on Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. French authorities, particularly the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ), blocked the platform after it breached local gambling laws.

11 月，一名匿名交易員押注唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 在美國總統大選中獲勝，從而賺得近 5000 萬美元後，Polymarket 在法國面臨監管行動。法國當局，特別是國家博彩管理局 (ANJ)，因該平台違反了當地賭博法而封鎖了該平台。

Also in November, the FBI seized Polymarket CEO Shane Coplan's phone and electronics after raiding his home.

同樣在 11 月，聯邦調查局 (FBI) 搜查了 Polymarket 執行長 Shane Coplan 的家，沒收了他的手機和電子產品。

Tether is set to establish its headquarters in El Salvador, according to a blog post by the USDT issuer earlier this week.

根據 USDT 發行人本週稍早發布的部落格文章，Tether 將在薩爾瓦多設立總部。

The move follows Tether's acquisition of a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) registration in the crypto-friendly country.

此前，Tether 收購了在加密貨幣友善國家註冊的數位資產服務提供者 (DASP)。

In a post on Twitter, Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, expressed excitement about the relocation, stating that “El Salvador is the beacon of freedom and @nayibbukele is an inspiring leader driving the country with love, passion and intelligence.”

Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 在Twitter 上發文表達了對搬遷的興奮之情，他表示：「薩爾瓦多是自由的燈塔，@nayibbukele 是一位鼓舞人心的領導人，用愛、激情和智慧推動國家發展。

The US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ordered the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to explain itself for refusing to set clear crypto regulations when Coinbase requested them.

美國第三巡迴上訴法院已命令美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 解釋為何在 Coinbase 要求時拒絕制定明確的加密貨幣法規。

According to one of the judges, “Rather than force the agency to make a rule, we order it to explain its decision not to.” Another cautioned the SEC against rendering a poor explanation like it has been doing.

一位法官表示，“我們不是強迫該機構制定規則，而是命令它解釋不這樣做的決定。”另一位人士警告美國證券交易委員會不要像以前那樣做出糟糕的解釋。

The SEC's case against Coinbase began in March 2023 when it issued the exchange a Wells Notice for violating securities regulation through its staking services and asset listings.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 對 Coinbase 的訴訟始於 2023 年 3 月，當時該交易所向交易所發出了威爾斯通知，指控其透過質押服務和資產上市違反了證券監管規定。

Coinbase responded with confidence in the legality of its operations and attempted to engage with the regulator to clarify the basis of its Wells Notice and set clear regulations.

Coinbase 對其營運的合法性充滿信心，並試圖與監管機構接觸，以澄清其威爾斯通知的基礎並製定明確的法規。

The SEC, however, maintained that current securities regulations were sufficient to regulate crypto and filed a lawsuit in June 2023.

然而，SEC 堅稱目前的證券法規足以監管加密貨幣，並於 2023 年 6 月提起訴訟。

In recent developments, Coinbase was granted an interlocutory appeal, temporarily pausing its ongoing court case against the SEC. It means Coinbase can proceed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to receive guidance and to determine if the SEC's complaints against it are valid.

在最近的發展中，Coinbase 獲得了中間上訴，暫時中止了針對 SEC 的正在進行的法庭訴訟。這意味著 Coinbase 可以向第二巡迴上訴法院尋求指導並確定 SEC 對其的投訴是否有效。

BitMEX's operator, HDR Global Trading Limited, has been ordered to pay a $100 million fine following BitMEX's guilty plea in 2022 for violating the US Bank Secrecy Act.

BitMEX 的營運商 HDR Global Trading Limited 在 BitMEX 於 2022 年因違反美國銀行保密法認罪後被勒令支付 1 億美元的罰款。

Judge John Koeltl of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York also handed down a sentence on January 15, 2025, that included two years of unsupervised probation for the exchange.

美國紐約南區地方法院法官約翰·科爾特爾 (John Koeltl) 也於 2025 年 1 月 15 日做出了判決，其中包括對該交易的兩年無監督緩刑。

The charges stem from BitMEX's operation without a meaningful Anti-Money Laundering (AML) program.

這些指控源於 BitMEX 的營運沒有有效的反洗錢 (AML) 計劃。

In 2020, the CFTC charged BitMEX owners with illegally operating a cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform and AML violations. BitMEX introduced AML checks on the platform and pleaded guilty to the charges in 2022.

2020 年，CFTC 指控 BitMEX 所有者非法經營加密貨幣衍生性商品交易平台並違反反洗錢法。 BitMEX 在平台上引入了反洗錢檢查，並於 2022 年承認了這些指控。

However, in early 2023, BitMEX was hit with a new lawsuit filed by BMA LLC, claiming that BitMEX had been illegally offering services to users in the US through ABS Global. This is controlled and operated by HDR, despite being unregistered as a money-transmitting company.

然而，2023 年初，BitMEX 遭到 BMA LLC 提起的新訴訟，指控 BitMEX 透過 ABS Global 向美國用戶非法提供服務。儘管未註冊為匯款公司，但該公司由 HDR 控制和營運。

In a statement to its users after the court issued the sentence, BitMEX expressed disappointment over the additional financial penalty.

在法院作出判決後，BitMEX 在給用戶的聲明中對額外的罰款表示失望。

Oklahoma has become the latest US state to propose a Bitcoin strategic reserve. Earlier this week, Representative Cody Maynard proposed the introduction of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act.

俄克拉荷馬州成為美國最新一個提出比特幣戰略儲備的州。本週早些時候，眾議員科迪·梅納德 (Cody Maynard) 提議引入戰略比特幣儲備法案。

Speaking about this, Maynard said: “Bitcoin represents freedom from bureaucrats printing away our purchasing power. As a decentralized form of money, Bitcoin cannot be manipulated or created by government entities. It is the ultimate store of value for those who believe in financial freedom and sound money principles.”

談到這一點，梅納德表示：「比特幣代表著我們的購買力不再被官僚印製的自由。作為一種去中心化的貨幣形式，比特幣不能由政府實體操縱或創建。對於那些相信財務自由和健全的貨幣原則的人來說，這是最終的價值儲存手段。

This would make Oklahoma the sixth US state with a Bitcoin reserve. The announcement follows similar plans in New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas

這將使俄克拉荷馬州成為美國第六個擁有比特幣儲備的州。此前，新罕布夏州、北達科他州、俄亥俄州、賓州和德州也有類似計劃
