BiT Global 在诉讼中指控 Coinbase 不公平地下架 WBTC

BiT Global 已对 Coinbase 采取法律行动，指责这家总部位于旧金山的交易所不公平地计划下架 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)

Coinbase is facing legal action from crypto custodian BiT Global over its alleged plan to unfairly delist Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) in favor of its own version of the token, Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC).

Coinbase 正面临加密货币托管商 BiT Global 的法律诉讼，因为该公司涉嫌计划不公平地下架 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)，转而使用自己的代币版本 Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC)。

The lawsuit, filed on Friday, alleges that Coinbase's move to remove WBTC from its platform by Dec. 19 constitutes an unfair business practice and violates federal and state laws.

该诉讼于周五提起，指控 Coinbase 在 12 月 19 日之前将 WBTC 从其平台上删除的举动构成了不公平的商业行为，并违反了联邦和州法律。

Coinbase recently announced that it will be moving the order books for wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) to limit-only mode. This means that limit orders can still be placed and canceled, and matches may occur. For more info on this update, please visit: https://t.co/aZsdyDqkAS

Coinbase 最近宣布，它将把打包比特币 (wBTC) 的订单簿转变为限价模式。这意味着限价单仍然可以下达和取消，并且可能会发生匹配。有关此更新的更多信息，请访问：https://t.co/aZsdyDqkAS

According to the lawsuit, BiT Global, which custodies WBTC, claims that Coinbase's decision to delist WBTC is a predatory tactic to monopolize the wrapped Bitcoin market. The custodian alleges that Coinbase's actions are aimed at promoting cbBTC, which is backed by the exchange, and squeezing out competition.

根据诉讼，托管 WBTC 的 BiT Global 声称，Coinbase 下架 WBTC 的决定是一种掠夺性策略，旨在垄断已包装的比特币市场。该托管人声称，Coinbase 的行为旨在推广由交易所支持的 cbBTC，并排挤竞争。

The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claims that Coinbase is using tactics typically employed by centralized tech giants to eliminate competitors. It describes the exchange's behavior as a “cash grab” that is being masked as a commitment to decentralization.

该诉讼向美国加州北区地方法院提起，声称 Coinbase 正在使用中心化科技巨头通常采用的策略来消除竞争对手。它将交易所的行为描述为“抢钱”，并被伪装成对权力下放的承诺。

In particular, BiT Global points to Coinbase's listing of meme coins and tokens, including Dogwifhat (WIF), Pepe (PEPE), and Mog Coin (MOG), as evidence of the exchange's prioritization of profitability over genuine innovation or value.

BiT Global 特别指出 Coinbase 列出的 meme 币和代币，包括 Dogwifhat (WIF)、Pepe (PEPE) 和 Mog Coin (MOG)，作为该交易所将盈利能力置于真正创新或价值之上的证据。

The custodian alleges that Coinbase's decision to delist WBTC has had a direct impact on the token's circulation, which has declined by 5% over the last two weeks. BiT Global claims that this decline is a result of Coinbase's actions.

托管人声称，Coinbase 下架 WBTC 的决定对该代币的流通量产生了直接影响，过去两周代币流通量下降了 5%。 BiT Global 声称这种下降是 Coinbase 行动的结果。

As a refresher, WBTC is a critical component of decentralized finance (DeFi) because it enables Bitcoin (BTC) holders to interact with Ethereum-based applications even though BTC and Ether (ETH) are technically incompatible.

回顾一下，WBTC 是去中心化金融 (DeFi) 的重要组成部分，因为它使比特币 (BTC) 持有者能够与基于以太坊的应用程序进行交互，即使 BTC 和以太 (ETH) 在技术上不兼容。

Coinbase launched cbBTC in September, describing it as an alternative to WBTC. Following the launch, the exchange delisted WBTC in November, stating that the token failed to meet its listing standards — a move that sparked the legal dispute.

Coinbase 在 9 月份推出了 cbBTC，将其描述为 WBTC 的替代品。推出后，该交易所于 11 月将 WBTC 摘牌，称该代币未能达到其上市标准，此举引发了法律纠纷。

BiT Global's lawsuit also highlights the controversial partnership between BiT Global and BitGo, the custodian behind WBTC. Some members of the DeFi community have raised concerns about Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron network, being involved with BiT Global, suggesting that it introduces risks due to his influence.

BiT Global 的诉讼还凸显了 BiT Global 与 WBTC 背后的托管人 BitGo 之间存在争议的合作关系。一些 DeFi 社区成员对 Tron 网络创始人孙宇晨参与 BiT Global 表示担忧，认为这会因其影响力而带来风险。
