美国法院驳回针对去中心化交易所 Bancor 功能暂停的诉讼

该案是投资者针对服务提供商在波动的加密货币市场中遭受经济损失提起的众多诉讼之一。

A US federal court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by investors against Bancor, a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange, over the suspension of an investment protection feature. The court ruled that Bancor, its founders, and related entities cannot be sued in the US due to jurisdictional issues.

美国联邦法院驳回了投资者针对去中心化加密货币交易所 Bancor 提起的关于暂停投资保护功能的诉讼。法院裁定，由于管辖权问题，Bancor 及其创始人和相关实体不能在美国被起诉。

The lawsuit was filed by a group of US cryptocurrency investors who claimed that Bancor had suspended a key investment protection feature, which they argued exposed them to financial risk.

该诉讼由一群美国加密货币投资者提起，他们声称 Bancor 暂停了一项关键的投资保护功能，他们认为这使他们面临财务风险。

Bancor had introduced an impermanent loss protection feature in late 2020, designed to shield liquidity providers from market volatility. The platform compensated users for their losses by issuing its native token BNT, which they could sell to recoup their losses. However, in June 2022, Bancer suspended this program, citing “hostile market conditions.”

Bancor 在 2020 年底推出了无常损失保护功能，旨在保护流动性提供者免受市场波动的影响。该平台通过发行原生代币 BNT 来补偿用户的损失，用户可以出售代币来弥补损失。然而，2022 年 6 月，Bancer 以“市场条件恶劣”为由暂停了该计划。

As a result, liquidity providers who relied on this protection suffered permanent losses when the program was halted, prompting them to sue Bancor for removing the risk protection feature without proper notice.

结果，依赖这种保护的流动性提供者在该计划停止时遭受了永久性损失，促使他们起诉 Bancor，要求其在没有适当通知的情况下取消风险保护功能。

After reviewing the case, Judge Robert Pitman of the US District Court for the Western District of Texas ruled on September 9 that the investors failed to provide sufficient evidence showing that the cryptocurrency transactions occurred in the US or fell under US jurisdiction. He advised the plaintiffs to refile their claims in Israel or Switzerland, where Bancor and its founders are based.

美国德克萨斯州西区地方法院法官罗伯特·皮特曼 (Robert Pitman) 审阅此案后，于 9 月 9 日裁定，投资者未能提供足够的证据证明加密货币交易发生在美国或属于美国管辖范围。他建议原告在 Bancor 及其创始人所在地以色列或瑞士重新提出索赔。

The court also found that Bancor, which operates out of Israel and Switzerland, does not have sufficient ties to the US for the court to exercise personal jurisdiction.

法院还发现，在以色列和瑞士运营的 Bancor 与美国没有足够的联系，法院无法行使属人管辖权。

Additionally, the court ruled that US securities laws do not apply to Bancor in this case due to extraterritorial concerns, meaning US laws cannot be enforced beyond the country’s borders.

此外，由于域外问题，法院裁定美国证券法不适用于本案中的 Bancor，这意味着美国法律不能在境外执行。

The case highlights one of the many lawsuits filed by investors against service providers for financial losses in the volatile cryptocurrency market. Earlier this year, Canadian investors sued Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, for offering derivatives products in the region without proper regulatory authorization.

该案是投资者针对服务提供商在波动的加密货币市场中遭受经济损失提起的众多诉讼之一。今年早些时候，加拿大投资者起诉全球最大的加密货币交易所币安，称其在没有适当监管授权的情况下在该地区提供衍生品。

The plaintiffs in that case seek compensation for being misled into buying unregistered securities.

该案中的原告因被误导购买未注册证券而寻求赔偿。

Binance is also facing similar regulatory challenges in the US, where investors sued the exchange for selling unregistered tokens that later lost value, causing them to suffer financial losses. The digital assets involved in the case include Aelf, EOS, FUNToken, Icon, OMG Network, Quantstamp (QSP), and Tron.

币安在美国也面临着类似的监管挑战，投资者起诉该交易所出售未注册的代币，这些代币后来贬值，导致他们遭受财务损失。涉案数字资产包括Aelf、EOS、FUNToken、Icon、OMG Network、Quantstamp（QSP）、Tron。
