OpenSea 開曼群島註冊助長代幣投機

據報道，最大的 NFT 市場之一 OpenSea 已在開曼群島建立了基金會。這項進展引發了猜測

One of the world’s largest non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces, OpenSea, has reportedly established a foundation in the Cayman Islands.

據報道，世界上最大的非同質代幣（NFT）市場之一 OpenSea 已在開曼群島建立了基金會。

This development has sparked speculation among members of the crypto community regarding the platform’s potential plans to issue a token.

這一進展引發了加密貨幣社群成員對該平台發行代幣的潛在計劃的猜測。

On Dec. 13, Mike Dudas, founder of 6th Man Ventures, shared a screenshot revealing that OpenSea registered its foundation in the Cayman Islands back in August.

12 月 13 日，6th Man Ventures 創辦人 Mike Dudas 分享了一張截圖，顯示 OpenSea 早在 8 月就在開曼群島註冊了基金會。

While OpenSea has yet to confirm or comment on the registration, industry observers speculate that the platform may be positioning itself to leverage the jurisdiction's crypto-friendly policies for a token issuance.

儘管 OpenSea 尚未確認或評論註冊事宜，但行業觀察人士推測，該平台可能會將自己定位為利用該司法管轄區的加密貨幣友好政策來發行代幣。

Earlier this year, the Cayman Islands introduced amendments to its Virtual Asset (Service Provider) Act, enhancing anti-money laundering measures and introducing licensing for virtual asset platforms.

今年早些時候，開曼群島對其虛擬資產（服務提供者）法進行了修訂，加強了反洗錢措施並引入了虛擬資產平台許可。

These updates position the region as a prime location for crypto businesses seeking regulatory certainty.

這些更新使該地區成為尋求監管確定性的加密貨幣企業的黃金地段。

However, it remains unclear how OpenSea plans to utilize its registration in the Cayman Islands.

然而，目前尚不清楚 OpenSea 計劃如何利用其在開曼群島的註冊。

Crypto community members are urging OpenSea to reward early adopters in any potential token airdrop. Some users hope the platform will consider transactions from 2021 and early 2022 during the NFT market’s peak.

加密貨幣社群成員敦促 OpenSea 在任何潛在的代幣空投中獎勵早期採用者。一些用戶希望該平台在NFT市場高峰期間考慮2021年和2022年初的交易。

“Are OpenSea going to backdate their token airdrop? Imagine if they pulled transactions back from 2021/2022,” crypto user Wawkem advised.

「OpenSea 是否會回溯他們的代幣空投日期？想像一下，如果他們從 2021/2022 年撤回交易，」加密貨幣用戶 Wawkem 建議。

“After seeing Blur and Magic Eden airdrop, I doubt OpenSea won’t go down a similar path to improve their volume and revenues in V2.”

“在看到 Blur 和 Magic Eden 空投之後，我懷疑 OpenSea 不會走類似的道路來提高 V2 的銷量和收入。”

The rumors of a token launch come during a challenging period for OpenSea. Data from Dune Analytics shows that at its height, OpenSea achieved an average of over $2 billion in monthly trading volume.

關於發行代幣的傳言是在 OpenSea 面臨挑戰的時期傳出的。 Dune Analytics 的數據顯示，OpenSea 在鼎盛時期的月交易量平均超過 20 億美元。

In contrast, the platform’s highest volume this year is just over $120 million, as it has ceded market dominance to competitors like Magic Eden and Blur.

相比之下，該平台今年的最高銷量剛剛超過 1.2 億美元，因為它已將市場主導地位讓給了 Magic Eden 和 Blur 等競爭對手。

Observers noted that a token launch could provide the boost OpenSea needs to regain its competitive edge in the NFT market.

觀察家指出，代幣的推出可以為 OpenSea 提供所需的推動力，以重新獲得其在 NFT 市場的競爭優勢。

Moreover, it could also serve as a lifeline for the marketplace as the company deals with regulatory pressures, including a Wells Notice from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

此外，當該公司應對監管壓力（包括美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的威爾斯通知）時，它還可以成為市場的生命線。
