Bafin禁止Ethena GmbH的USDE合成美元的公共销售

德国金融监管局巴芬（Bafin）禁止所有公共销售Ethena GmbH的USDE（USDE）（USDE）（一种合成的美元）声称，令牌违反了欧盟的MICAR法规，并指责该公司在该地区销售未注册的证券。

German financial regulatory authority BaFin has prohibited all public sales of Ethena GmbH’s USDe (USDe) — a synthetic dollar — claiming the token violates the European Union’s MiCAR regulations and accused the firm of selling unregistered securities in the region.

德国金融监管局巴芬禁止Ethena GmbH的USDE（USDE）的所有公共销售 - 一种合成美元 - 声称令牌违反了欧盟的MICAR法规，并指控该公司在该地区销售未登记的证券。

BaFin ordered Ethena to freeze the reserve assets that back the token, close down the website portal, and ordered the firm to stop taking new customers, the regulator wrote in an announcement.

监管机构在公告中写道，巴芬命令埃塞纳（Ethena）冻结靠近令牌，关闭网站门户网站的储备资产，并命令该公司停止接管新客户。

The financial regulator also appointed a representative to monitor the ongoing situation with Ethena. In a translated statement, the regulator wrote:

金融监管机构还任命了一名代表来监视与埃塞纳（Ethena）的持续情况。监管机构在翻译声明中写道：

“The USDe and sUSDe tokens are interconnected in such a way that investors can receive a sUSDe token in exchange for a USDe token,” the regulator said.

监管机构说：“ USDE和SUSDE代币的相互联系是这样的，投资者可以收到Susde代币以换取USDE代币。”

Despite the ban on primary sales and issuance of the token, secondary sales of the token will not be prohibited or affected, the regulator added.

该监管机构补充说，尽管禁止初级销售和发行令牌，但代币的次要销售将不会被禁止或受到影响。

Ethena GmbH also commented on the development, adding that the backing of USDe remains unaffected, and the token can still be redeemed via Ethena BVI Limited.

Ethena GmbH还评论了这一发展，并补充说，USDE的支持仍然不受影响，并且仍然可以通过Ethena BVI Limited兑换代币。

Ethena GmbH files for MiCA approval

Ethena GmbH文件供云母批准

Ethena submitted a request for regulatory approval under MiCA on July 29, 2024, and the firm expected to be “grandfathered” into the existing regulatory framework.

埃塞纳（Ethena）于2024年7月29日提交了根据MICA的监管批准请求，该公司预计将被“祖父”纳入现有的监管框架。

However, BaFin denied the application on March 21, citing “serious deficiencies in the business organization” and a lack of compliance with the MiCA framework.

但是，巴芬在3月21日否认了该申请，理由是“商业组织中的严重缺陷”，并且缺乏遵守云母框架。

The financial regulator further noted that around 5.4 billion Ethena tokens are currently in circulation. However, many of these tokens were minted outside of the German jurisdiction and before MiCA took effect.

金融监管机构进一步指出，目前大约有54亿个乙烯代币在流通。但是，这些令牌中的许多是在德国管辖区以外的地方铸造的，并且在云母生效之前。

Ethena continues to attract institutional investment for its products, risks associated with synthetic dollars notwithstanding.

Ethena继续吸引其产品的机构投资，即使有合成美元的风险。

Ethena reportedly raised over $100 million from investors in February 2024 to launch a new token called iUSDe geared toward institutional investors.

据报道，埃塞纳（Ethena）于2024年2月从投资者那里筹集了超过1亿美元的资金，以推出一个名为IUSDE的新令牌，旨在用于机构投资者。

The firm also partnered with World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol started by former US President Donald Trump in December 2024.

该公司还与世界前总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）于2024年12月发起的分散财务（DEFI）协议合作。

As part of the agreement, World Liberty Financial purchased 500,000 ENA tokens — the governance token of Ethena.

作为该协议的一部分，世界自由金融购买了500,000个ENA令牌 - 乙烯的治理令牌。

On Feb. 26, the MEXC crypto exchange announced a $20 million investment in Ethena's USDe to promote stablecoin use.
