加密貨幣交易公司 Coinbase 因下架 WBTC 被起訴要求賠償 10 億美元

Wrapped Bitcoin 的發行人 Bit Global Digital 正在起訴加密貨幣平台 Coinbase，要求賠償該數位貨幣交易所刪除其加密代幣後造成的損失。

Crypto platform Coinbase is being sued by the issuer of Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) for allegedly causing losses of around $1 billion after the digital currency exchange delisted the crypto token.

加密平台 Coinbase 被 Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) 發行人起訴，據稱在數位貨幣交易所將加密代幣摘牌後造成約 10 億美元的損失。

On November 19, Coinbase announced that it would discontinue trading of wBTC on its exchange platform on December 19 for allegedly failing to meet the platform’s standards for listing tokens.

11 月 19 日，Coinbase 宣布將於 12 月 19 日停止其交易平台上的 wBTC 交易，原因是 wBTC 涉嫌未達到平台上幣標準。

“We regularly monitor the assets on our exchange to ensure they meet our listing standards. Based on our most recent review, Coinbase will suspend trading for wBTC (wBTC) on Dec. 19, 2024, on or around 12 pm ET,” Coinbase said in an X post.

「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。根據我們最近的審查，Coinbase 將於 2024 年 12 月 19 日美國東部時間中午 12 點左右暫停 wBTC (wBTC) 交易。

The crypto exchange did not elaborate on the standards that said cryptocurrency has failed to meet.

該加密貨幣交易所沒有詳細說明加密貨幣未能滿足的標準。

However, Bit Global Digital contradicted Coinbase’s claim, saying that “Coinbase has not publicly stated what listing standards wBTC does not meet.”

不過，Bit Global Digital 反駁了 Coinbase 的說法，並表示「Coinbase 尚未公開說明 wBTC 不符合哪些上市標準」。

“Having decided to copycat wBTC with its own product, Coinbase resorted to unfair and deceptive tactics that long been used by tech giants to crush their competition,” the company argued in the complaint.

該公司在訴狀中表示：“Coinbase 決定用自己的產品模仿 wBTC，並採取了科技巨頭長期以來用來壓制競爭對手的不公平和欺騙性策略。”

The complaint filed by Bit Global Digital at the US District Court, Northern District of California stated eight counts of violations which include attempted monopolization, unfair competition, and trade libel, among others.

Bit Global Digital 向美國加州北區地方法院提起的訴狀指出了八項違法行為，其中包括企圖壟斷、不公平競爭和貿易誹謗等。

The company said that Coinbase's actions led to huge financial losses for the company and tainted the reputation of wBTC, causing consumers to lose confidence in the token.

該公司表示，Coinbase 的行為給公司帶來了巨大的財務損失，並玷污了 wBTC 的聲譽，導致消費者對該代幣失去信心。

According to Bit Global Digital, Coinbase planned to launch its own version of a wrapped Bitcoin, prompting the crypto exchange platform to attempt to gain an upper hand on the wBTC market and eliminate competition for its new asset, cbBTC.

根據 Bit Global Digital 報導，Coinbase 計劃推出自己版本的打包比特幣，促使該加密貨幣交易平台試圖在 wBTC 市場上佔上風，並消除對其新資產 cbBTC 的競爭。

The crypto exchange launched cbBTC in September 2024, introducing the asset on Ethereum, Base, and Solana.

該加密貨幣交易所於 2024 年 9 月推出了 cbBTC，並在以太坊、Base 和 Solana 上推出了該資產。

In its complaint, the wBTC issuer stated that two months after introducing the new asset, Coinbase announced on X that it would suspend wBTC in the platform, effectively weeding out its competitor from the platform and “depriving the market of the ability to trade wBTC.”

wBTC 發行人在訴狀中表示，推出新資產兩個月後，Coinbase 在X 上宣布將暫停wBTC 在平台中的運行，從而有效地將其競爭對手從平台中淘汰，並「剝奪了市場交易wBTC 的能力”。 ”

Bit Global Digital said that Coinbase did not provide any reasoning for delisting the crypto, adding that the crypto exchange failed to give them a chance to appeal the delisting.

Bit Global Digital 表示，Coinbase 沒有提供任何將加密貨幣下市的理由，並補充說加密貨幣交易所未能給他們對退市提出上訴的機會。

“Coinbase’s plan to delist wBTC is clearly aimed to force its public cryptocurrency users who wish to use wrapped Bitcoin into using cbBTC which is predatory and unfair competition that violates both federal and state law,” Bit Global Digital stated in the complaint.

Bit Global Digital 在訴狀中表示：“Coinbase 下架 wBTC 的計劃顯然是為了迫使希望使用打包比特幣的公共加密貨幣用戶使用 cbBTC，這是掠奪性和不公平的競爭，違反了聯邦和州法律。”

As of press time, wBTC is trading at $101,355 with a market capitalization of over $13 billion.

截至發稿，wBTC 交易價格為 101,355 美元，市值超過 130 億美元。
