泰國的SEC起訴OKX以操作無執照的加密交易所

全世界的監管機構正在收緊對加密交流的控制，泰國表現出明確的立場。該國的證券交易委員會（SEC）已針對OKX發起法律訴訟

Regulators around the world are keeping a close eye on crypto exchanges, and in a recent development, the attention of the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has turned to OKX, one of the biggest names in the industry.

世界各地的監管機構都密切關注加密交易所，在最近的發展中，泰國證券交易委員會（SEC）的關注已轉向OKX，這是該行業中最知名的之一。

The SEC has decided to take legal action against Aux Cayes FinTech Co Ltd, the company behind OKX, along with nine individuals linked to the platform. The reason for this move is allegedly the operation of an unapproved crypto trading platform within Thailand.

SEC已決定針對OKX背後的公司Aux Cayes Fintech Co Ltd採取法律行動，並與與該平台相關的9個人。據稱，此舉的原因是在泰國境內未經認可的加密貨幣交易平台的運作。

The charges against OKX stem from its activities in 2021, where it allegedly provided crypto trading services to Thai investors without obtaining the necessary approval from the SEC. According to a statement by the regulator, the exchange actively promoted its services through social media channels like Telegram, X (formerly Twitter), and Line OpenChat, charging a 0.1% trading fee, just like licensed exchanges in the country.

對OKX的指控源於其在2021年的活動，據稱該活動向泰國投資者提供了加密貨幣交易服務，而無需獲得SEC的必要批准。根據監管機構的一份聲明，該交易所通過Telegram，X（以前為Twitter）和Line OpenChat等社交媒體渠道積極促進其服務，收取0.1％的交易費，就像該國持牌交易所一樣。

This, the SEC claims, is a violation of Thailand’s Emergency Decree on Digital Asset Businesses, which mandates that only approved firms can provide crypto services and charge fees for trading. The nine individuals named in the complaint allegedly aided in promoting OKX to investors in Thailand, and their involvement goes beyond simple marketing, as the SEC believes they played a role in the exchange’s unauthorized activities.

SEC聲稱，這違反了泰國關於數字資產業務的緊急法令，該法令規定，只有批准的公司才能提供加密服務和交易費用。據稱，投訴中提到的九個人有助於向泰國的投資者推廣OKX，而他們的參與範圍不僅僅是簡單的營銷，因為SEC認為他們在交易所未經授權的活動中發揮了作用。

The case has been passed on to the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD), which will determine the subsequent legal action and impose penalties if required. If found guilty, OKX and the individuals involved could face hefty fines and imprisonment.

該案已轉移給經濟犯罪施加司（ECD），該司將確定隨後的法律訴訟，並在需要時施加罰款。如果被判有罪，OKX和所涉及的個人將面臨罰款和監禁。

The SEC has also issued a warning to investors regarding the dangers of using unlicensed crypto platforms. As these platforms operate outside regulatory frameworks, there are no guarantees regarding the safety of investors’ funds or the legitimacy of the platforms themselves.

SEC還向投資者發出了有關使用無執照的加密平台的危險的警告。由於這些平台在監管框架之外運行，因此對投資者資金的安全性或平臺本身的合法性沒有保證。

This could leave users susceptible to scams or financial losses, as the SEC notes. The regulator strongly advises traders to always verify the licensing status of a platform in the country of operation before investing.

正如SEC所指出的那樣，這可能會使用戶容易遭受騙局或財務損失。監管機構強烈建議交易者在投資之前始終驗證平台在運營國家的許可狀態。

This case is part of a broader trend of regulatory bodies stepping up their oversight of the crypto sector. As more governments introduce and enforce stricter regulations, exchanges that fail to comply with the legal requirements in the respective jurisdictions could face significant consequences.

此案是監管機構加強對加密貨幣部門的監督的更廣泛趨勢的一部分。隨著越來越多的政府介紹和執行更嚴格的法規，不遵守各自司法管轄區法律要求的交流可能會面臨重大後果。
