CFTC 就 Polymarket 案件向 Coinbase 发出传票

美国商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 已向加密货币交易所 Coinbase 发出传票，要求提供与正在进行的 Polymarket 案件相关的客户数据。

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has subpoenaed crypto exchange Coinbase for customer data pertaining to the ongoing Polymarket case.

The subpoena, which was highlighted by Eric Conner, co-author of Ethereum’s EIP-1559 proposal, seeks information about certain Coinbase users in connection to the case.

以太坊 EIP-1559 提案的合著者埃里克·康纳 (Eric Conner) 强调，该传票旨在寻求与此案有关的某些 Coinbase 用户的信息。

"Biden's CFTC is subpoenaing customer info from @coinbase in their case against @Polymarket," Conner wrote on Twitter.

康纳在 Twitter 上写道：“拜登的 CFTC 正在向 @coinbase 传唤客户信息，以处理针对 @Polymarket 的案件。”

Coinbase, in turn, has reportedly emailed affected customers, stating: "You do not need to take any action, but Coinbase may need to send information related to your account to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in response to the subpoena request, unless by the close of business on January 15, 2025, Coinbase formally receives a motion to quash the subpoena or other legal documents preventing Coinbase from sharing such information."

据报道，Coinbase 已向受影响的客户发送电子邮件，表示：“您无需采取任何行动，但 Coinbase 可能需要将与您账户相关的信息发送给商品期货交易委员会，以回应传票请求，除非由2025 年 1 月 15 日收盘后，Coinbase 正式收到一项动议，要求撤销阻止 Coinbase 共享此类信息的传票或其他法律文件。”

The email has sparked strong reactions within the crypto community, with many criticizing what they perceive as a drastic shift in the Biden administration's stance on cryptocurrency.

Several users have accused the government of conducting a "witch hunt" against the crypto industry.

The saga began when the U.S. government launched both criminal and civil investigations into Polymarket over allegations that the crypto prediction market platform violated its 2022 settlement agreement with the CFTC.

这场传奇故事始于美国政府对 Polymarket 发起刑事和民事调查，指控该加密货币预测市场平台违反了与 CFTC 的 2022 年和解协议。

The agreement stipulated that Polymarket would cease services for U.S.-based users, among other conditions.

该协议规定，除其他条件外，Polymarket 将停止为美国用户提供服务。

However, the platform is accused of continuing to allow U.S. users to place election-related bets on its exchange.

Under U.S. law, election betting is only legal in markets regulated by the CFTC, such as the stock market or the betting exchange PredictIt, which is also licensed by the CFTC.

根据美国法律，选举博彩仅在受 CFTC 监管的市场中合法，例如股票市场或博彩交易所 PredictIt，该交易所也获得了 CFTC 的许可。
