币安因涉嫌证券违规在加拿大面临集体诉讼

在持续的监管审查中，著名的加密货币交易所币安在加拿大面临集体诉讼。该诉讼向安大略省高等法院提起，指控违反证券法，特别是涉及向散户投资者出售不受监管的衍生产品。安大略证券法 (OSA) 违规和损害是原告索赔的核心，为众多加拿大币安用户寻求赔偿和撤销未经授权的交易。

Binance, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, is facing a significant legal challenge in Canada as a class-action lawsuit alleges violations of securities laws. The lawsuit, filed in Ontario's Superior Court of Justice on April 19, reignites legal scrutiny against the exchange.

币安是全球领先的加密货币交易所之一，在加拿大面临重大法律挑战，集体诉讼指控其违反证券法。该诉讼于 4 月 19 日向安大略省高等法院提起，重新引发了针对该交易所的法律审查。

The legal action stems from allegations that Binance sold cryptocurrency derivative products to retail investors without proper registration, contravening provisions of the Ontario Securities Act (OSA) and federal regulations. The plaintiffs, represented by Christopher Lochan and Jeremy Leeder, are seeking damages and the recission of unlawful derivative trades executed by Canadian Binance users, who number in the tens of thousands.

此次法律诉讼源于指控币安在未经适当注册的情况下向散户投资者出售加密货币衍生产品，违反了安大略省证券法（OSA）和联邦法规的规定。以 Christopher Lochan 和 Jeremy Leeder 为代表的原告正在寻求损害赔偿，并要求撤销数以万计的加拿大币安用户执行的非法衍生品交易。

The lawsuit comes amidst Binance's announced plans to cease operations in Ontario following warnings issued by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) in 2023. Despite this announcement, the OSC's investigation into Binance is ongoing, signifying continued regulatory scrutiny.

此次诉讼发生之际，币安宣布计划在 2023 年安大略省证券委员会 (OSC) 发出警告后停止在安大略省的业务。尽管如此，OSC 对币安的调查仍在继续，这表明监管审查仍在继续。

The lawsuit further tarnishes Binance's reputation, which has been marred by previous controversies. In 2021, former CEO Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to anti-money laundering violations in the United States. Although current CEO Richard Teng has made efforts to enhance Binance's regulatory compliance, including securing a cryptocurrency license in Dubai, the exchange's past regulatory issues continue to overshadow its progress.

此次诉讼进一步损害了币安的声誉，此前的争议已经损害了币安的声誉。 2021年，前首席执行官赵长鹏承认在美国违反反洗钱规定。尽管现任首席执行官理查德·滕（Richard Teng）努力加强币安的监管合规性，包括在迪拜获得加密货币牌照，但该交易所过去的监管问题仍然掩盖了其进展。

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has published a certification motion for the lawsuit, providing legal standing to the class-action representation. The plaintiffs contend that Binance's actions have caused significant financial losses to Canadian investors who had minimal understanding of the risks associated with cryptocurrency derivatives, which are complex financial instruments.

安大略省高等法院已发布了该诉讼的认证动议，为集体诉讼代表提供了法律地位。原告认为，币安的行为给加拿大投资者造成了重大财务损失，因为他们对加密货币衍生品相关风险知之甚少，而加密货币衍生品是复杂的金融工具。

The lawsuit argues that Binance failed to provide adequate disclosure of the risks involved and did not register the products with the appropriate regulatory authorities. This alleged failure to comply with securities laws has resulted in significant harm to Canadian investors, the plaintiffs claim.

诉讼称，币安未能充分披露所涉及的风险，也没有向适当的监管机构注册产品。原告声称，这种所谓的不遵守证券法的行为给加拿大投资者造成了重大损害。

The legal battle in Canada is part of a broader trend of increased regulatory scrutiny of cryptocurrency exchanges globally. Regulators worldwide are grappling with the challenges posed by the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market and are seeking to protect investors from potential risks. The outcome of the lawsuit will have significant implications for Binance's operations in Canada and may set a precedent for other jurisdictions considering similar regulatory actions.

加拿大的法律战是全球加密货币交易所加强监管审查这一更广泛趋势的一部分。世界各地的监管机构正在努力应对快速发展的加密货币市场带来的挑战，并寻求保护投资者免受潜在风险的影响。该诉讼的结果将对币安在加拿大的业务产生重大影响，并可能为其他司法管辖区考虑类似的监管行动树立先例。
