Coinbase 收购 BUX Europe 部门，并将其更名为 Coinbase Financial Services Europe

此次收购获得了塞浦路斯投资公司许可证，使 Coinbase 能够提供差价合约并在整个欧洲经济体中提供其服务

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) has acquired the Cyprus-based unit of BUX, rebranding it as Coinbase Financial Services Europe.

Coinbase（纳斯达克股票代码：COIN）收购了位于塞浦路斯的 BUX 部门，并将其更名为 Coinbase Financial Services Europe。

The acquisition secures a Cyprus Investment Firm license, enabling Coinbase to offer contracts for differences and passport its services across European Economic Area member states.

此次收购获得了塞浦路斯投资公司许可证，使 Coinbase 能够在欧洲经济区成员国提供差价合约并为其服务提供通行证。

CFDs allow investors to speculate on the price movements of assets without owning them, making them an attractive option for professional and institutional clients.

差价合约允许投资者在不拥有资产的情况下对资产的价格变动进行投机，这使其成为对专业和机构客户有吸引力的选择。

“We are pleased with the sale of BUX Europe Limited, to Coinbase, a globally recognised leader in the crypto industry. We wish the team all the best for the future,” said Yorick Naeff, CEO of BUX.

“我们很高兴将 BUX Europe Limited 出售给全球公认的加密货币行业领导者 Coinbase。我们祝愿团队未来一切顺利。”BUX 首席执行官 Yorick Naeff 说道。

The move comes as Coinbase navigates Europe’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation.

此举正值 Coinbase 适应欧洲新的加密资产监管市场之际。

MiCA provides firms with clarity but imposes stricter rules, such as requiring e-money token issuers to hold EU authorisation.

MiCA 为企业提供了明确性，但实施了更严格的规则，例如要求电子货币代币发行人持有欧盟授权。

Industry groups have warned that the limited time to comply with MiCA could lead to “serious customer detriment and negative financial consequences across all EU member states.”

行业组织警告称，遵守 MiCA 的时间有限可能会导致“所有欧盟成员国的严重客户损害和负面财务后果”。

These changes have already prompted Coinbase to end its USDC rewards programme for EEA residents and delist unauthorised stablecoins.

这些变化已经促使 Coinbase 终止针对 EEA 居民的 USDC 奖励计划，并下架未经授权的稳定币。

Acquiring BUX’s Cyprus unit positions Coinbase to comply with MiCA while expanding its European footprint.

收购 BUX 的塞浦路斯部门使 Coinbase 能够遵守 MiCA，同时扩大其欧洲业务。

The CIF license allows Coinbase to target professional and institutional clients under the unified framework, potentially giving it an edge over competitors like Binance, which has faced regulatory setbacks.

CIF 许可证允许 Coinbase 在统一框架下瞄准专业和机构客户，这可能使其比面临监管挫折的币安等竞争对手更具优势。
