Gemini 和其他加密貨幣平台因合規挑戰而退出加拿大

Gemini 的退出反映出越來越多的去中心化平台因合規挑戰而放棄加拿大。

Gemini crypto exchange users in Canada will have their accounts closed by the end of 2024, following the company’s decision to leave the market.

在該公司決定退出市場後，加拿大的 Gemini 加密貨幣交易所用戶的帳戶將在 2024 年底前關閉。

The move comes after Canada’s new crypto regulations, which require exchanges to complete a pre-registration declaration to continue operating in the country.

此舉是在加拿大頒布新的加密貨幣法規之後做出的，該法規要求交易所完成預註冊聲明才能繼續在該國運作。

Exchanges must also obtain CSA approval to offer stablecoins to Canadian customers. Several major crypto exchanges have left the market due to the strict regulations.

交易所還必須獲得 CSA 批准才能向加拿大客戶提供穩定幣。由於嚴格的監管，幾家主要的加密貨幣交易所已經退出市場。

Gemini had initially agreed to the rules and registered its pre-registration in April 2023. However, despite expressing its commitment to its Canadian operations, the company has now decided to fully withdraw from the market.

Gemini 最初同意這些規則，並於 2023 年 4 月進行了預註冊。

Most Gemini accounts in Canada will be closed by December 31, 2024, according to the company. Canadian users have been advised by Gemini to withdraw their assets within 90 days, and they will receive further instructions from the exchange.

該公司表示，加拿大的大多數 Gemini 帳戶將於 2024 年 12 月 31 日之前關閉。 Gemini已建議加拿大用戶在90天內提取資產，他們將收到交易所的進一步指示。

Gemini’s exit from Canada is part of a broader trend of decentralized platforms leaving the country due to challenges in complying with the new regulations.

Gemini 退出加拿大是去中心化平台因遵守新法規面臨挑戰而離開加拿大的更廣泛趨勢的一部分。

Some companies initially submitted pre-registration forms but later changed their stance after reviewing the new regulations. Binance announced in May 2023 that it would be leaving the Canadian market after initially signaling its willingness to comply with the regulations.

一些公司最初提交了預註冊表格，但在審查新規定後改變了立場。幣安在最初表示願意遵守法規後，於 2023 年 5 月宣布將退出加拿大市場。

Additionally, services from dYdX and Bybit in Canada have also ended their operations in the country. The CSA has been increasing its oversight to protect investors in response to the high-profile failures of crypto exchanges.

此外，加拿大的 dYdX 和 Bybit 服務也結束了在該國的營運。針對備受矚目的加密貨幣交易所倒閉事件，CSA 一直在加強監管，以保護投資者。

As a result, exchanges operating in the country face several restrictions, including limits on the use of stablecoins.

因此，在該國營運的交易所面臨多項限制，包括穩定幣的使用限制。

The CSA implemented these policies following the collapse of major crypto platforms such as FTX and Celsius Network. The regulator aims to ensure that Canadian investors are protected and to prevent further financial failures. As a consequence, several exchanges have opted to move their operations out of the country.

CSA 在 FTX 和攝氏網路等主要加密平台崩潰後實施了這些政策。該監管機構旨在確保加拿大投資者受到保護並防止進一步的金融失敗。因此，一些交易所選擇將業務遷出該國。

Ohio Pushes for Cryptocurrency in Tax Payments

俄亥俄州推動加密貨幣納稅

While Canada is tightening its regulations on cryptocurrency, Ohio is making efforts to adopt it.

雖然加拿大正在加強對加密貨幣的監管，但俄亥俄州正在努力採用它。

Ohio State Senator Niraj Antani introduced a bill on September 30 that would allow the state to accept cryptocurrency for tax and fee payments. State agencies and pension funds would also be permitted to invest in cryptocurrency under the bill.

俄亥俄州參議員 Niraj Antani 於 9 月 30 日提出了一項法案，允許該州接受加密貨幣支付稅款和費用。根據該法案，國家機構和退休基金也將被允許投資加密貨幣。

Each year, the Ohio tax commissioner will specify the cryptocurrencies that can be used in these transactions, according to the proposed law. The bill defines cryptocurrency as any digital asset that is decentralized, has its own blockchain, and is used as a medium of exchange, but it does not include a central bank digital currency.

每年，俄亥俄州稅務專員都會根據擬議的法律指定可在這些交易中使用的加密貨幣。該法案將加密貨幣定義為任何去中心化的、擁有自己的區塊鏈、並用作交換媒介的數位資產，但不包括央行數位貨幣。

Entities in the state may impose a service charge to process crypto transactions, as specified in the bill, to encourage the adoption of digital assets. Ohio previously attempted to allow cryptocurrency for tax payments in 2018, but the effort was blocked.

根據法案的規定，該州的實體可能會對處理加密交易收取服務費，以鼓勵採用數位資產。俄亥俄州先前曾在 2018 年嘗試允許使用加密貨幣納稅，但這項努力遭到阻止。

Ohio has renewed its attempts to integrate and oversee cryptocurrency in its regulations. These proposals include additional measures to protect the state’s crypto mining industry and to exclude CBDCs from state monetary regulations.

俄亥俄州再次嘗試在其法規中整合和監督加密貨幣。這些提案包括保護該州加密貨幣挖礦業並將 CBDC 排除在州貨幣監管之外的額外措施。
