俄勒岡州的總檢察長正在起訴Coinbase

俄勒岡州的總檢察長計劃針對加密貨幣交易所共同提起訴訟。根據公司首席法律官保羅·格雷瓦爾（Paul Grewal）的說法

Oregon Attorney General is planning to sue cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, according to the company’s chief legal officer, Paul Grewal.

據該公司首席法律官Paul Grewal稱，俄勒岡州總檢察長計劃起訴加密貨幣交易所。

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Grewal said that the state is "resurrecting the dead" by filing a case similar to the one dropped by the U.S. Department of Justice.

格雷瓦爾（Grewal）在X上的一篇文章（以前稱為Twitter）中說，該州通過提交類似於美國司法部刪除的案件來“復活死者”。

"Today the Oregon AG is resurrecting the dead by bringing a copycat case of @SECGov’s 2021 enforcement action against Coinbase, which the SEC dismissed with prejudice," Grewal wrote. "This type of political jockeying is an embarrassing waste of Oregon taxpayer dollars."

格雷瓦爾寫道：“如今，俄勒岡州的AG通過將 @secgov的2021年執法行動案帶來了對Coinbase的2021年執法訴訟，而SEC對此表示了偏見，” Grewal寫道。 “這種類型的政治競爭是令人尷尬的浪費俄勒岡納稅人的錢。”

The case will reportedly allege that Coinbase is selling unregistered securities to residents of the state. It comes the same day as one of its employees, Jesse Powell, has been targeted for a provocative post that implied new cryptocurrency tokens can be used for facilitating sex trafficking.

據報導，該案將聲稱Coinbase將未註冊的證券出售給該州的居民。這是在同一天與其一名員工傑西·鮑威爾（Jesse Powell）的挑釁性帖子的目標，該職位暗示新的加密貨幣令牌可用於促進性販運。

Powell runs Base, an Ethereum-based blockchain that allows developers to create cryptocurrency tokens and related apps. One of the new tokens, announced earlier this year, is being used for a copycat version of the social media platform.

鮑威爾（Powell）運行基礎，這是一個基於以太坊的區塊鏈，允許開發人員創建加密貨幣令牌和相關應用程序。今年早些時候宣布的新令牌之一正在社交媒體平台的模仿版本中。

However, as one user pointed out, the juxtaposition of the two topics in Powell's post will likely be lost on those who follow him for cryptocurrency news.

但是，正如一個用戶指出的那樣，鮑威爾帖子中兩個主題的並置可能會失去那些跟隨他的加密貨幣新聞的人。

"Is this a fever dream?" asked Jacquelyn Melinek. "What the hell is going on at @base? And before you ask, yes, these are real pics."

“這是一個發燒的夢嗎？”雅克琳·梅琳克（Jacquelyn Melinek）問。 “ @Base到底是怎麼回事？在您問之前，這些是真正的照片。”

The comments were seen as undermining the industry's credibility as it has sought for years to distance itself from allegations that crypto is used primarily for illicit activities, including pump-and-dump schemes.

這些評論被視為破壞了該行業的信譽，因為它一直在尋求多年的距離，以使其與指控的指控距離，即加密貨幣主要用於非法活動，包括泵送和降低計劃。

Coinbase has styled itself as a reputable actor in the space, arguing that cryptocurrencies are here to stay, and regulators should focus less on law enforcement by action and instead create clearer regulations for the industry.

Coinbase在該領域的著名演員稱其為著名的演員，認為加密貨幣將留在這裡，監管機構應以行動來減少專注於執法，而是為行業創建更清晰的法規。

But Coinbase has also allowed a flurry of tokens to trade on its platform, and its Base platform has faced controversy for enabling new tokens to launch that have quickly surged in value only to collapse in what industry parlance is called a "rug pull." Powell believes that “tokenizing” internet content will allow creators to better monetize their content than platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Effectively bringing back the idea of NFTs by allowing creators to buy and sell speculative tokens against their content.

但是，Coinbase還允許一大堆令牌在其平台上進行交易，並且其基本平檯面臨爭議，使新的代幣能夠迅速發起，這些代幣迅速飆升，只是為了崩潰而崩潰，而行業概述稱為“地毯”。鮑威爾認為，與YouTube和Tiktok這樣的平台，“令牌化”的互聯網內容將使創作者能夠更好地獲取其內容。通過允許創作者對其內容購買和銷售投機令牌，從而有效地帶回NFT的想法。

Among other potential regulations, the Securities and Exchange Commission could require issuers to “lock up” any tokens they hold in reserve for a set period of time, alleviating the sudden market crashes shortly after a new token is issued sees its price run up in short order. It could also require issuers to hold insurance to account for any lawsuits.

在其他潛在法規中，證券交易委員會可能要求發行人“鎖定”他們在設定的一段時間內保留的任何代幣，從而減輕了新的代幣後不久的突然市場崩潰，因此其價格會在短時間內上漲。它也可能要求發行人持有保險來考慮任何訴訟。

But the Justice Department recently signaled it will stop going after cryptocurrency businesses, instead focusing its efforts on combating crime facilitated using crypto, like drug trafficking.

但是司法部最近表示，它將停止從事加密貨幣業務，而是將其努力集中在使用加密貨幣（例如毒品販運）促進的犯罪上。

Other companies like Robinhood have leaned heavily into cryptocurrency and gambling contracts based on the blockchain. That company in particular earns more money on cryptocurrency and options trading than traditional stocks, skewing the incentives towards encouraging users to gamble on short-term bets.

像羅比林（Robinhood）這樣的其他公司已經大力融入了基於區塊鏈的加密貨幣和賭博合同。該公司特別是在加密貨幣和期權交易方面賺取的錢比傳統股票更多，這使激勵措施鼓勵用戶在短期賭注上賭博。

Despite a seemingly more relaxed regulatory environment towards crypto under the Trump administration, Coinbase stock is down 31% this year. Insiders believe that the erasure of gains made last year is due to the broader economic climate. It turns out that cryptocurrencies may not be a hedge against traditional finance as many proponents believed. When people’s dollars do not go as far, they will sell their crypto to pay for basic essentials instead.

儘管在特朗普政府領導下，對加密貨幣的監管環境似乎更加輕鬆，但今年的Coinbase股票下跌了31％。內部人士認為，去年取得的收益的消除是由於更廣泛的經濟氛圍。事實證明，加密貨幣可能並不是許多支持者認為的對沖傳統財務的對沖。當人們的美元不走很遠時，他們將出售加密貨幣以支付基本必需品的費用。

Still, the Trump administration remains much more favorable to crypto than ever before. It has dropped a multitude of lawsuits against companies in the industry, created a “reserve” of bitcoin seized through criminal enforcement, and recently commuted the sentences of the founders of exchange BitMEX, who were accused of enabling criminals to launder money through the platform without conducting identity checks. Justin Sun, a controversial founder in the industry, saw a civil case against him filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission was dropped not long after investing $75 million into a token created by the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial.

儘管如此，特朗普政府仍然比以往任何時候都更加利用加密貨幣。它已經對該行業中的公司撤銷了許多訴訟，創造了通過刑事執法抓住的比特幣的“儲備”，並最近對Exchange Bitmex的創始人的判決進行了通勤，他們被指控使罪犯通過平台洗錢而無需進行身份檢查。賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）是該行業中有爭議的創始人賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）在向特朗普家族的世界自由金融公司（World Liberty Financial）投資7500萬美元投資了7500萬美元後不久，就證明了對他提出的民事案件。

Cryptocurrency remains one of the least productive investments in the technology industry in some time, insofar as it fails to create any meaningful utility for the average person. Stablecoins offer some promise to enable faster online transactions that bypass the slow traditional banking system and enable more people to transact in currency pegged to the United States dollar. But issues around money laundering and crime remain prevalent, and any products with “utility” remain kludgy and hard to use. New cryptocurrencies based on hazy promises continue to defraud everyday consumers as well. Critics believe that the industry plowed hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign in a bid to keep the prices going up, as cryptocurrencies still amount to not much more than gambling.

在一段時間內，加密貨幣仍然是技術行業中生產最低的投資之一，因為它無法為普通人創造任何有意義的效用。 Stablecoins提供了一些希望，可以使更快的在線交易繞過慢慢的傳統銀行系統，並使更多的人可以以固定的貨幣交易。但是，圍繞洗錢和犯罪的問題仍然很普遍，任何具有“效用”的產品仍然很難使用。基於朦朧承諾的新加密貨幣也繼續欺騙日常消費者。批評家認為，該行業在特朗普的競選活動中投入了數億美元，以使價格上漲，因為加密貨幣仍然不超過賭博。
