Coinbase 以「上市問題」為由，下架了打包比特幣 wBTC

該公告是在該交易所在 Base 上推出自己的「包裝」比特幣後不久發布的 – cbBTC

Coinbase is removing Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) from its exchange due to concerns about its listing standards.

由於擔心其上市標準，Coinbase 正在將 Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) 從其交易所中移除。

wBTC is a token that represents bitcoin on the Ethereum and other blockchains. It is offered by BitGo, a custodian that recently announced a joint venture with BiT Global, a custodian partially owned by Justin Sun.

wBTC 是以太坊和其他區塊鏈上代表比特幣的代幣。它由 BitGo 提供，BitGo 是一家託管機構，最近宣布與 BiT Global 建立合資企業，BiT Global 是孫宇晨部分持股的託管機構。

This move comes shortly after Coinbase announced its own version of wrapped bitcoin called cbBTC, which exists on the Base blockchain.

此舉是在 Coinbase 宣布其自己的打包比特幣版本（稱為 cbBTC）之後不久做出的，該版本存在於 Base 區塊鏈上。

While many in the crypto community expressed concerns about Sun’s involvement, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe was quick to point out that Sun has minimal operational control over BiT Global. The custodian’s legal structure means that no individual has more than 20% ownership and the keys are split between multiple parties.

儘管加密社群的許多人對 Sun 的參與表示擔憂，但 BitGo 執行長 Mike Belshe 很快指出，Sun 對 BiT Global 的營運控制微乎其微。託管人的法律結構意味著沒有個人擁有超過 20% 的所有權，並且金鑰由多方分配。

In an earlier interview with CoinDesk, BitGo’s Belshe said that critics of the BitGo-BiT Global tie-up weren’t being “intellectually honest,” promoting their own project’s interests over thoughtful criticism of wBTC.

在早些時候接受 CoinDesk 採訪時，BitGo 的 Belshe 表示，BitGo 與 BiT Global 合作的批評者“在理智上並不誠實”，他們在促進自己專案的利益，而不是對 wBTC 進行深思熟慮的批評。

"We are a fiduciary today, and it’s our duty to ensure that the assets are protected, regardless of where they are held," he said, while taking aim at Coinbase’s ‘cbBTC’ for being, in his opinion, too centralized.

他表示：「今天我們是受託人，我們有責任確保資產受到保護，無論它們存放在哪裡。」同時他也批評 Coinbase 的「cbBTC」過於中心化。

"Of course, the central bank, CB, Coinbase, they also would love to have Wrapped Bitcoin under their belt," he said. "There is no doubt that the model that BitGo is proposing, how we're going to store the keys, is far superior to anything that Coinbase can or would concoct."

「當然，央行、CB、Coinbase，他們也希望將比特幣納入自己的手中，」他說。 “毫無疑問，BitGo 提出的模型，即我們將如何存儲密鑰，遠遠優於 Coinbase 能夠或將要炮製的任何模型。”

Belshe believes this potential level of centralization is antithetical to decentralized finance (DeFi).

Belshe 認為，這種潛在的中心化程度與去中心化金融（DeFi）是對立的。

“If the DeFi community picks central bank Coinbase as the ultimate steward, then I think all DeFi hope should be lost,” he said.

他表示：“如果 DeFi 社群選擇央行 Coinbase 作為最終管理者，那麼我認為 DeFi 的所有希望都應該破滅。”
