加密货币交易公司 Coinbase 因下架 WBTC 被起诉要求赔偿 10 亿美元

Wrapped Bitcoin 的发行人 Bit Global Digital 正在起诉加密货币平台 Coinbase，要求赔偿该数字货币交易所删除其加密代币后造成的损失。

Crypto platform Coinbase is being sued by the issuer of Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) for allegedly causing losses of around $1 billion after the digital currency exchange delisted the crypto token.

加密平台 Coinbase 被 Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) 发行人起诉，据称在数字货币交易所将加密代币摘牌后造成约 10 亿美元的损失。

On November 19, Coinbase announced that it would discontinue trading of wBTC on its exchange platform on December 19 for allegedly failing to meet the platform’s standards for listing tokens.

11 月 19 日，Coinbase 宣布将于 12 月 19 日停止其交易平台上的 wBTC 交易，原因是 wBTC 涉嫌未达到平台上币标准。

“We regularly monitor the assets on our exchange to ensure they meet our listing standards. Based on our most recent review, Coinbase will suspend trading for wBTC (wBTC) on Dec. 19, 2024, on or around 12 pm ET,” Coinbase said in an X post.

“我们定期监控我们交易所的资产，以确保它们符合我们的上市标准。根据我们最近的审查，Coinbase 将于 2024 年 12 月 19 日美国东部时间中午 12 点左右暂停 wBTC (wBTC) 交易。”Coinbase 在 X 帖子中表示。

The crypto exchange did not elaborate on the standards that said cryptocurrency has failed to meet.

该加密货币交易所没有详细说明加密货币未能满足的标准。

However, Bit Global Digital contradicted Coinbase’s claim, saying that “Coinbase has not publicly stated what listing standards wBTC does not meet.”

不过，Bit Global Digital 反驳了 Coinbase 的说法，称“Coinbase 尚未公开说明 wBTC 不符合哪些上市标准”。

“Having decided to copycat wBTC with its own product, Coinbase resorted to unfair and deceptive tactics that long been used by tech giants to crush their competition,” the company argued in the complaint.

该公司在诉状中表示：“Coinbase 决定用自己的产品模仿 wBTC，并采取了科技巨头长期以来用来压制竞争对手的不公平和欺骗性策略。”

The complaint filed by Bit Global Digital at the US District Court, Northern District of California stated eight counts of violations which include attempted monopolization, unfair competition, and trade libel, among others.

Bit Global Digital 向美国加利福尼亚州北区地方法院提起的诉状指出了八项违法行为，其中包括企图垄断、不公平竞争和贸易诽谤等。

The company said that Coinbase's actions led to huge financial losses for the company and tainted the reputation of wBTC, causing consumers to lose confidence in the token.

该公司表示，Coinbase 的行为给公司带来了巨大的财务损失，并玷污了 wBTC 的声誉，导致消费者对该代币失去信心。

According to Bit Global Digital, Coinbase planned to launch its own version of a wrapped Bitcoin, prompting the crypto exchange platform to attempt to gain an upper hand on the wBTC market and eliminate competition for its new asset, cbBTC.

据 Bit Global Digital 报道，Coinbase 计划推出自己版本的打包比特币，促使该加密货币交易平台试图在 wBTC 市场上占据上风，并消除对其新资产 cbBTC 的竞争。

The crypto exchange launched cbBTC in September 2024, introducing the asset on Ethereum, Base, and Solana.

该加密货币交易所于 2024 年 9 月推出了 cbBTC，并在以太坊、Base 和 Solana 上推出了该资产。

In its complaint, the wBTC issuer stated that two months after introducing the new asset, Coinbase announced on X that it would suspend wBTC in the platform, effectively weeding out its competitor from the platform and “depriving the market of the ability to trade wBTC.”

wBTC 发行人在诉状中表示，推出新资产两个月后，Coinbase 在 X 上宣布将暂停 wBTC 在平台中的运行，从而有效地将其竞争对手从平台中淘汰，并“剥夺了市场交易 wBTC 的能力”。 ”

Bit Global Digital said that Coinbase did not provide any reasoning for delisting the crypto, adding that the crypto exchange failed to give them a chance to appeal the delisting.

Bit Global Digital 表示，Coinbase 没有提供任何将加密货币退市的理由，并补充说加密货币交易所未能给他们对退市提出上诉的机会。

“Coinbase’s plan to delist wBTC is clearly aimed to force its public cryptocurrency users who wish to use wrapped Bitcoin into using cbBTC which is predatory and unfair competition that violates both federal and state law,” Bit Global Digital stated in the complaint.

Bit Global Digital 在诉状中表示：“Coinbase 下架 wBTC 的计划显然是为了迫使希望使用打包比特币的公共加密货币用户使用 cbBTC，这是掠夺性和不公平的竞争，违反了联邦和州法律。”

As of press time, wBTC is trading at $101,355 with a market capitalization of over $13 billion.

截至发稿，wBTC 交易价格为 101,355 美元，市值超过 130 亿美元。
