CFTC 就 Polymarket 案件向 Coinbase 發出傳票

美國商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC) 已向加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 發出傳票，要求提供與正在進行的 Polymarket 案件相關的客戶資料。

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has subpoenaed crypto exchange Coinbase for customer data pertaining to the ongoing Polymarket case.

商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC) 已向加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 發出傳票，要求其提供與正在進行的 Polymarket 案件相關的客戶資料。

The subpoena, which was highlighted by Eric Conner, co-author of Ethereum’s EIP-1559 proposal, seeks information about certain Coinbase users in connection to the case.

以太坊 EIP-1559 提案的合著者 Eric Conner 強調，該傳票旨在尋求與此案相關的某些 Coinbase 用戶的資訊。

"Biden's CFTC is subpoenaing customer info from @coinbase in their case against @Polymarket," Conner wrote on Twitter.

康納在 Twitter 上寫道：“拜登的 CFTC 正在向 @coinbase 傳喚客戶信息，以處理針對 @Polymarket 的案件。”

Coinbase, in turn, has reportedly emailed affected customers, stating: "You do not need to take any action, but Coinbase may need to send information related to your account to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in response to the subpoena request, unless by the close of business on January 15, 2025, Coinbase formally receives a motion to quash the subpoena or other legal documents preventing Coinbase from sharing such information."

根據報告，Coinbase 已向受影響的客戶發送電子郵件，表示：「您無需採取任何行動，但 Coinbase 可能需要將與您帳戶相關的資訊發送給商品期貨交易委員會，以回應傳票請求，除非由2025 年1 月15 日收盤後，Coinbase 正式收到一項動議，要求撤銷阻止Coinbase 共享此類資訊的傳票或其他法律文件。

The email has sparked strong reactions within the crypto community, with many criticizing what they perceive as a drastic shift in the Biden administration's stance on cryptocurrency.

這封電子郵件在加密貨幣社群內引發了強烈反應，許多人批評拜登政府對加密貨幣立場的巨大轉變。

Several users have accused the government of conducting a "witch hunt" against the crypto industry.

一些用戶指責政府對加密貨幣產業進行「政治迫害」。

"This will be in the history books as one of the most asinine targeted attacks by an administration on a whole industry," wrote X user @WazzCrypto.

X 用戶 @WazzCrypto 寫道：“這將被載入史冊，成為政府對整個行業最愚蠢的針對性攻擊之一。”

The saga began when the U.S. government launched both criminal and civil investigations into Polymarket over allegations that the crypto prediction market platform violated its 2022 settlement agreement with the CFTC.

這場傳奇故事始於美國政府對 Polymarket 發起刑事和民事調查，指控該加密貨幣預測市場平台違反了與 CFTC 的 2022 年和解協議。

The agreement stipulated that Polymarket would cease services for U.S.-based users, among other conditions.

該協議規定，除其他條件外，Polymarket 將停止為美國用戶提供服務。

However, the platform is accused of continuing to allow U.S. users to place election-related bets on its exchange.

然而，該平台被指控繼續允許美國用戶在其交易所進行與選舉相關的投注。

Under U.S. law, election betting is only legal in markets regulated by the CFTC, such as the stock market or the betting exchange PredictIt, which is also licensed by the CFTC.

根據美國法律，選舉博彩僅在受 CFTC 監管的市場中合法，例如股票市場或博彩交易所 PredictIt（也獲得 CFTC 許可）。

The FBI raided the New York residence of Polymarket founder and CEO Shayne Coplan on November 13, 2024, seizing his phone and other electronic devices as part of the investigation.

作為調查的一部分，FBI 於 2024 年 11 月 13 日突襲搜查了 Polymarket 創始人兼首席執行官 Shayne Coplan 的紐約住所，沒收了他的手機和其他電子設備。
