SEC丢弃Coinbase案，Bybit Hack掩盖了Lazarus Group牵连的胜利

SEC V Coinbase没有欺诈指控，SEC决定放弃该案的决定强调了该机构的变化优先事项

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped its case against Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange. The SEC had alleged that Coinbase failed to register its Lend product with the agency, which would have allowed users to earn interest on their crypto holdings. However, Coinbase maintained that its product did not meet the definition of a security and, thus, was not subject to SEC registration.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）已将其针对主要的加密货币交易所Coinbase撤销。 SEC声称Coinbase未能向该机构注册其贷款产品，这将使用户能够从其加密货币持有股中获得利息。但是，Coinbase坚持认为其产品不符合安全的定义，因此不受SEC注册的约束。

With no allegations of fraud in the SEC v Coinbase case, the SEC’s decision to drop the case highlighted the agency's shifting priorities under Acting Chair Mark Uyeda and Commissioner Hester Peirce’s Crypto Task Force. Friday’s move also showed that Acting Chain Uyeda isn’t waiting for Paul Atkins’ confirmation to end the agency’s assault on cryptos.

SEC V Coinbase案中没有欺诈指控，SEC决定放弃该案件的决定强调了该机构在代理主席Mark Uyeda和专员Hester Peirce的加密委员会工作队下的转移优先事项。周五的举动还表明，代理连锁店Uyeda并没有等待保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）的确认来结束该机构对加密货币的攻击。

Coinbase was spared from paying any fines or penalties, and the SEC did not have to admit to any wrongdoing on the exchange's part. This outcome is a significant victory for Coinbase and the crypto industry at large. It marks the first time that the SEC has dropped a case involving a crypto exchange without pursuing any further legal action.

Coinbase免于支付任何罚款或罚款，而SEC不必承认交易所的任何不当行为。对于Coinbase和Crypto行业来说，这一结果是一项重大胜利。它标志着SEC首次放弃了一个涉及加密货币交易所的案件，而无需采取任何进一步的法律诉讼。

The SEC's decision to drop the case is likely due to several factors. First, the SEC may have realized that it did not have a strong case against Coinbase. The SEC's definition of a security is broad and can be applied to a wide range of financial products. However, it is ultimately up to the courts to decide whether a particular product meets the definition of a security. In the case of Coinbase's Lend product, the SEC may have concluded that it was not confident that a court would rule in its favor.

SEC决定撤销此案的决定可能是由于几个因素。首先，SEC可能已经意识到它没有针对Coinbase的强有力。 SEC对安全性的定义广泛，可以应用于广泛的金融产品。但是，最终由法院决定特定产品是否符合安全的定义。在Coinbase的贷款产品的情况下，SEC可能得出的结论是，法院对其有利的裁决并不确信。

Second, the SEC may have been influenced by the changing regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies. In March 2023, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that it had reached a settlement with FTX. The CFTC alleged that FTX had engaged in fraud and offered illegal derivatives, which ultimately led to the exchange's collapse. As part of the settlement, the CFTC agreed to pay FTX's customers up to $80 million in restitution.

其次，SEC可能受到加密货币的监管格局的影响。 2023年3月，商品期货贸易委员会（CFTC）宣布已与FTX达成和解。 CFTC声称FTX从事欺诈并提供了非法衍生品，最终导致了交易所的崩溃。作为和解的一部分，CFTC同意向FTX的客户支付高达8000万美元的赔偿金。

The CFTC's settlement with FTX was a landmark moment in the regulation of cryptocurrencies. For the first time, a major U.S. regulator acknowledged that crypto derivatives could be legally offered in the United States. This opened the door for crypto exchanges to apply for CFTC licenses and begin offering regulated crypto derivatives to their customers.

CFTC与FTX的定居点是监管加密货币的里程碑时刻。美国主要监管机构首次承认，在美国合法提供加密衍生物。这为加密交易所申请CFTC许可并开始向其客户提供受监管的加密衍生物打开了大门。

In light of the CFTC's actions, the SEC may have felt pressure to take a more moderate approach to regulating cryptocurrencies. By dropping the case against Coinbase, the SEC avoided a direct confrontation with the CFTC and signaled its willingness to work with other regulators to develop a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto.

鉴于CFTC的行动，SEC可能会感到采取更温和的方法来调节加密货币的压力。通过对Coinbase的案件，SEC避免了与CFTC的直接对抗，并表示其愿意与其他监管机构合作，以开发用于加密货币的全面监管框架。

Coinbase shares slid on Friday as news of a major security breach at Bybit overshadowed the exchange's victory in its SEC case. Bybit, one of the world's largest crypto exchanges, announced on Friday that it had detected unauthorized activity involving one of its ETH cold wallets.

周五，Coinbase分享了Slid，因为在Bybit的严重安全违规的消息掩盖了交易所在SEC案中的胜利。世界上最大的加密货币交易所之一拜比特（Bybit）周五宣布，它发现了未经授权的活动，涉及其ETH冷钱包之一。

“Bybit detected unauthorized activity involving one of our ETH cold wallets. The incident occurred when our ETH multisig cold wallet executed a transfer to our warm wallet. Unfortunately, this transaction was manipulated through a sophisticated attack that masked the signing interface, displaying the correct address while altering the underlying smart contract logic. As a result, the attacker was able to gain control of the affected ETH cold wallet and transfer its holdings to an unidentified address.”

“ Bybit检测到涉及我们的ETH冷钱包之一的未经授权的活动。当我们的Eth Multisig冷钱包执行转移到我们的温暖钱包时，该事件发生。不幸的是，这项交易是通过掩盖签名接口的复杂攻击来操纵的，在更改基础智能合约逻辑时显示了正确的地址。结果，攻击者能够控制受影响的ETH冷钱包，并将其持有量转移到身份不明的地址。”

The exchange added that the affected ETH cold wallet had a balance of 53,820 ETH ($143.4 million at the time of the hack), which was fully covered by Bybit's insurance fund. The exchange also stated that all customer assets remained fully backed 1:1 and that the platform remained operational.

该交易所补充说，受影响的ETH Cold Wallet的余额为53,820 ETH（在黑客攻击时为1.434亿美元），该余额已由Bybit的保险基金完全覆盖。交易所还指出，所有客户资产仍然完全支持1：1，并且该平台仍在运营。

"Upon detecting the suspicious activity, ByBit took immediate action to enhance security measures and halt all cold wallet activity. We engaged our internal security team, third-party auditors, and forensic specialists to investigate the incident thoroughly and identify the perpetrator(s)."

“在发现可疑活动后，Bybit立即采取了行动来加强安全措施并停止所有冷钱包活动。我们聘请了内部安全团队，第三方审计师和法医专家，以彻底调查事件并确定肇事者。 “

According to Arkham Intelligence, the Bybit hacker's wallets, totaling 53, now held 1,373 ETH ($3.5 billion), down from the initial $3.8 billion. The crypto community can track the Bybit hacker on Arkham.

根据Arkham Intelligence的说法，Bybit Hacker的钱包总计53，现在持有1,373 ETH（35亿美元），低于最初的38亿美元。加密社区可以在阿卡姆（Arkham）上跟踪Bybit Hacker。

In response to the hack, Arkham created and funded a bounty to help identify the hacker or hackers. Zachxbt submitted definitive evidence that North Korea's Lazarus Group was
