Coinbase 下架 wBTC，指责孙宇晨对市场构成威胁

加密货币交易所 Coinbase 已从其平台上删除了 wBTC（包装比特币）代币，指责孙宇晨的参与

Crypto exchange Coinbase has delisted wBTC (wrapped Bitcoin) from its platform, alleging that Justin Sun’s involvement with BiT Global poses “unacceptable” risks.

加密货币交易所 Coinbase 已将 wBTC（包装比特币）从其平台上摘牌，声称孙宇晨参与 BiT Global 带来了“不可接受”的风险。

The move comes in response to a lawsuit filed by BiT Global, which claims that the exchange is favoring a competing asset with the decision.

此举是为了回应 BiT Global 提起的诉讼，该诉讼声称该交易所的这一决定有利于竞争资产。

Last November, Coinbase announced the delisting of wBTC without providing detailed explanations, stating only that the decision was made in line with the platform’s listing standards.

去年11月，Coinbase宣布下架wBTC，但没有提供详细解释，仅表示该决定符合平台的上币标准。

However, new information is revealed in a legal document filed on Tuesday, which suggests that the decision is linked to the presence of Justin Sun, a controversial figure in the crypto bull and bear world.

然而，周二提交的一份法律文件中透露了新信息，该文件表明该决定与加密货币牛市和熊市中有争议的人物贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）的存在有关。

Coinbase alleges that Sun entered into a partnership with BiT Global in August, which raised concerns within the exchange.

Coinbase 称 Sun 于 8 月与 BiT Global 建立了合作伙伴关系，这引起了交易所内部的担忧。

Being attentive to customer protection and the integrity of its ecosystem, Coinbase conducted a review of the wBTC token and posed specific questions to BiT Global regarding Sun’s ownership and involvement.

出于对客户保护及其生态系统完整性的关注，Coinbase 对 wBTC 代币进行了审查，并向 BiT Global 提出了有关 Sun 的所有权和参与度的具体问题。

However, BiT reportedly declined to provide clear answers. In the official document, Coinbase states:

但据报道，BiT 拒绝提供明确答案。 Coinbase 在官方文件中指出：

“At the conclusion of our review process, we determined that Justin Sun’s affiliation with wBTC represented an unacceptable risk for our clients and for the integrity of our platform.”

“在我们的审查过程结束时，我们确定孙宇晨与 wBTC 的关系对我们的客户和我们平台的完整性构成了不可接受的风险。”

Who is Justin Sun and why is he a controversial figure?

孙宇晨是谁？为什么他是一个有争议的人物？

Justin Sun, a renowned entrepreneur in the crypto space and the founder of Tron, has faced numerous controversies over the years.

孙宇晨是加密货币领域的知名企业家、Tron 的创始人，多年来面临着无数争议。

In the United States, he has been accused of financial fraud and market manipulation, which have contributed to his contentious reputation within the industry.

在美国，他被指控财务欺诈和市场操纵，这导致他在业内的声誉颇有争议。

Coinbase is not the only entity that has raised concerns over Sun’s involvement in crypto projects.

Coinbase 并不是唯一对 Sun 参与加密项目表示担忧的实体。

Many observers believe that his association with wBTC raises questions about the reliability of the issuer, BiT Global.

许多观察家认为，他与 wBTC 的关联引发了人们对发行人 BiT Global 可靠性的质疑。

BiT itself, according to Coinbase, did not cooperate during the verification process, declining to clarify the nature of the relationship with Sun.

据 Coinbase 称，BiT 本身在验证过程中并未配合，拒绝澄清与 Sun 的关系性质。

The exchange’s decision to delist wBTC has prompted a lawsuit from BiT Global, which accuses Coinbase of favoring a competing asset, cbBTC, with the move.

该交易所下架 wBTC 的决定引发了 BiT Global 的诉讼，该公司指责 Coinbase 此举有利于竞争资产 cbBTC。

BiT claims that the decision was made for commercial reasons and not due to any genuine security concerns.

BiT 声称做出这一决定是出于商业原因，而不是出于任何真正的安全考虑。

Coinbase strongly refutes such claims, as stated in the document filed in court:

正如提交给法庭的文件中所述，Coinbase 强烈反驳了此类主张：

“No law obliges Coinbase to host an asset that has ties with an individual accused of fraud and manipulation.”

“没有法律规定 Coinbase 必须托管与被指控欺诈和操纵的个人有联系的资产。”

The exchange maintains that its actions were solely in the interest of its users and the stability of the platform.

该交易所坚称其行为完全是为了用户的利益和平台的稳定性。
