Coinbase 將於 2024 年 12 月 19 日下架 WBTC

所有 Coinbase 平台的交易將暫停，包括 Coinbase.com、Coinbase Exchange 和 Coinbase Prime。雖然交易將停止，但 WBTC 持有者仍然可以使用其資金並可以隨時提取資金。

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase will delist Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) on Dec. 19, 2024, over undisclosed failures to meet its listing standards.

加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 將於 2024 年 12 月 19 日下架 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)，原因是未能達到其上市標準，但未公開。

In a Nov. 19 post on X, Coinbase stated, “We regularly monitor the assets on our exchange to ensure they meet our listing standards.”

Coinbase 在 11 月 19 日在 X 上發布的帖子中表示，“我們定期監控我們交易所的資產，以確保它們符合我們的上市標準。”

Trading will be suspended across all Coinbase platforms, including Coinbase.com, Coinbase Exchange, and Coinbase Prime. While trading will cease, WBTC holders will still have access to their funds and the ability to withdraw them at any time. Coinbase has already limited WBTC trading to limit orders only.

所有 Coinbase 平台的交易將暫停，包括 Coinbase.com、Coinbase Exchange 和 Coinbase Prime。雖然交易將停止，但 WBTC 持有者仍然可以使用其資金並可以隨時提取資金。 Coinbase 已經限制 WBTC 交易，僅限制訂單。

The decision comes despite WBTC being the most popular Bitcoin wrapper, representing Bitcoin on other blockchains. According to DefiLlama, it holds over $13 billion in total value locked (TVL).

儘管 WBTC 是最受歡迎的比特幣包裝器，代表其他區塊鏈上的比特幣，但還是做出了這個決定。據 DefiLlama 稱，它持有超過 130 億美元的總鎖定價值 (TVL)。

Earlier this year, BitGo, the custodian of WBTC's Bitcoin reserves, made headlines by granting partial control of WBTC's multisignature wallet to Hong Kong-based BiT Global.

今年早些時候，WBTC 比特幣儲備託管機構 BitGo 將 WBTC 多重簽名錢包的部分控制權授予總部位於香港的 BiT Global，從而成為頭條新聞。

The move sparked controversy, especially due to concerns about the involvement of Justin Sun and the potential misappropriation of collateral.

此舉引發了爭議，尤其是由於擔心孫宇晨的參與以及抵押品可能被挪用。

In response to Coinbase's decision, WBTC issued a statement expressing regret and urging Coinbase to reconsider.

針對 Coinbase 的決定，WBTC 發表聲明表示遺憾，並敦促 Coinbase 重新考慮。

“We have always been committed to providing the community with the most compliant, transparent, and decentralized BTC tokenization product,” the organization said.

該組織表示：“我們始終致力於為社區提供最合規、透明、去中心化的 BTC 代幣化產品。”

Coinbase launched its own Bitcoin wrapper, Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC), in September. With $1.4 billion in TVL, cbBTC has gained traction as a competitor to WBTC.

Coinbase 於 9 月推出了自己的比特幣包裝器 Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC)。憑藉 14 億美元的 TVL，cbBTC 作為 WBTC 的競爭對手而受到關注。

Coinbase plans to introduce verifiable proof of reserves for cbBTC to address transparency concerns, following criticisms that it lagged behind other wrappers in this area.

Coinbase 計劃為 cbBTC 引入可驗證的儲備證明，以解決透明度問題，此前有人批評它在該領域落後於其他包裝器。

The delisting decision comes as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is set to meet with President-elect Donald Trump on Monday to discuss potential “personnel appointments,” according to The Wall Street Journal.

根據《華爾街日報》報道，Coinbase 首席執行官布萊恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 將於週一與當選總統唐納德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 會面，討論潛在的“人事任命”，做出退市決定。

Trump's recent cabinet selections signaled a pro-crypto stance, with appointments like Robert F. Kennedy as Secretary of Health and Human Services and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. All three have publicly supported crypto-friendly policies.

川普最近的內閣選擇表明了支持加密貨幣的立場，任命羅伯特·F·肯尼迪(Robert F. Kennedy)為衛生與公眾服務部部長，任命埃隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk)和維韋克·拉馬斯瓦米(Vivek Ramaswamy)領導政府效率部。這三個人都公開支持加密貨幣友善政策。

Among the names floated for Treasury Secretary is Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and a vocal Bitcoin advocate. Lutnick's firm has served as a custodian for Tether and supported the stablecoin's claims regarding its reserves, which include U.S. Treasuries, Bitcoin, and gold. Lutnick discussed these reserves during Bitcoin 2024 earlier this year.

財政部長候選人包括霍華德·盧特尼克 (Howard Lutnick)，他是坎托·菲茨杰拉德 (Cantor Fitzgerald) 的首席執行官，也是一位直言不諱的比特幣倡導者。 Lutnick 的公司一直擔任 Tether 的託管人，並支持該穩定幣對其儲備的主張，其中包括美國國債、比特幣和黃金。 Lutnick 在今年稍早的 Bitcoin 2024 期間討論了這些儲備。

Coinbase has reportedly been working with Trump’s transition team to facilitate dialogue between Armstrong and Lutnick. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and executives from Circle also engaged with Trump's team regarding personnel decisions, according to The New York Times.

據報導，Coinbase 一直在與川普的過渡團隊合作，以促進阿姆斯壯和盧特尼克之間的對話。根據《紐約時報》報道，Ripple 執行長 Brad Garlinghouse 和 Circle 的高層也與川普團隊就人事決策進行了接觸。
