在歐盟反洗錢打擊行動中，Kraken 在比利時和愛爾蘭下架隱私加密貨幣門羅幣

由於歐盟反洗錢規則，Kraken 正在比利時和愛爾蘭下架門羅幣 (XMR)。門羅幣存款和交易將於 5 月 10 日暫停，提款將持續至 6 月 10 日。 Kraken 將於 6 月 10 日禁止提款，並將所有門羅幣餘額轉換為比特幣。在此之前，Kraken 在 2 月從其全球交易所中移除了隱私幣。

Kraken Delisted Privacy Cryptocurrency Monero in Belgium and Ireland Amid EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulations

根據歐盟反洗錢法規，Kraken 在比利時和愛爾蘭摘牌隱私加密貨幣門羅幣

Brussels, Belgium - Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has announced the delisting of privacy cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) from its platform in Belgium and Ireland, effective June 10, in compliance with stringent anti-money laundering (AML) regulations implemented by the European Union (EU).

比利時布魯塞爾 - 加密貨幣交易所 Kraken 宣布，根據歐盟 (EU) 實施的嚴格反洗錢 (AML) 法規，隱私加密貨幣門羅幣 (XMR) 從其比利時和愛爾蘭平台下架，自 6 月 10 日起生效。

The decision, which encompasses the suspension of XMR deposits and trading on May 10, followed a similar move by Kraken in February, when the exchange removed privacy coins from its global platform. Other major exchanges, including Binance and OKX, have also delisted Monero in recent months.

該決定包括 5 月 10 日暫停 XMR 存款和交易，此前 Kraken 在 2 月也採取了類似舉措，當時該交易所從其全球平台上刪除了隱私幣。包括幣安和 OKX 在內的其他主要交易所也在最近幾個月下架了門羅幣。

Industry analysts have attributed the delisting trend to the EU's heightened focus on combating money laundering and terrorist financing, particularly through the implementation of the 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD), which came into effect last month.

產業分析師將退市趨勢歸因於歐盟對打擊洗錢和恐怖主義融資的高度重視，特別是透過實施上個月生效的第五號反洗錢指令（5AMLD）。

The 5AMLD prohibits crypto asset service providers from offering privacy coins, which allow users to conceal their identities and transaction details, making them attractive for illicit activities. The directive also restricts the use of privacy tokens for merchant payments.

5AMLD 禁止加密資產服務提供者提供隱私幣，隱私幣允許用戶隱藏其身分和交易詳細信息，從而對非法活動有吸引力。該指令也限制使用隱私代幣進行商家支付。

Patrick Hansen, EU Strategy and Policy Director at Circle, clarified that the new regulations do not ban self-custodial wallets or peer-to-peer transfers, dispelling concerns within the crypto community.

Circle 歐盟戰略與政策總監 Patrick Hansen 澄清，新規定並不禁止自我託管錢包或點對點轉賬，這打消了加密社區內部的擔憂。

"Self custody wallets are not banned. Payments to/from self custody wallets are not banned. P2P transfers are explicitly excluded from AMLR, as are..." Hansen tweeted on March 23.

「自架錢包沒有被禁止。自架錢包的付款也沒有被禁止。P2P 轉帳被明確排除在 AMLR 之外，…」Hansen 於 3 月 23 日發推文。

The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) legislation, which became law in June 2023, also classifies privacy coins as contraband. MiCA, which will become enforceable by December, further strengthens the EU's regulatory framework for crypto assets.

歐盟加密資產市場 (MiCA) 立法於 2023 年 6 月成為法律，也將隱私幣列為違禁品。 MiCA 將於 12 月生效，進一步加強歐盟對加密資產的監管框架。

Kraken's delisting of XMR has met with a muted response from the market, with the token's price remaining largely unperturbed, trading flat around $133. However, industry experts believe that the trend towards delisting privacy coins is likely to continue as regulators worldwide tighten their grip on the crypto ecosystem.

Kraken 下架 XMR 後，市場反應平淡，該代幣的價格基本上沒有受到影響，穩定在 133 美元左右。然而，產業專家認為，隨著全球監管機構加強對加密生態系統的控制，隱私幣退市的趨勢可能會持續下去。

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets watchdog, has recently published a report outlining its proposals for further crypto regulations under the MiCA framework, seeking public feedback.

歐盟金融市場監管機構歐洲證券和市場管理局 (ESMA) 最近發布了一份報告，概述了其在 MiCA 框架下進一步實施加密貨幣監管的建議，並尋求公眾反饋。

Regulators have expressed concerns about the potential use of privacy coins for money laundering, terrorist financing, and other criminal activities. They argue that the anonymity provided by these coins makes it difficult to trace illicit transactions and enforce AML regulations.

監管機構對隱私幣可能被用於洗錢、恐怖主義融資和其他犯罪活動表示擔憂。他們認為，這些代幣提供的匿名性使得追蹤非法交易和執行反洗錢法規變得困難。

The delisting of privacy coins has sparked debate within the crypto community, with some proponents arguing that it infringes upon the fundamental principles of privacy and financial freedom. However, regulators maintain that the measures are necessary to protect consumers and preserve the integrity of the financial system.

隱私幣的下架引發了加密社群內部的爭論，一些支持者認為這侵犯了隱私和財務自由的基本原則。然而，監管機構堅持認為，這些措施對於保護消費者和維護金融體系的完整性是必要的。

As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the crypto industry will adapt to the increasing pressure on privacy-focused cryptocurrencies.

隨著監管環境的不斷發展，加密產業將如何適應以隱私為中心的加密貨幣日益增加的壓力仍有待觀察。
