在欧盟反洗钱打击行动中，Kraken 在比利时和爱尔兰下架隐私加密货币门罗币

由于欧盟反洗钱规则，Kraken 正在比利时和爱尔兰下架门罗币 (XMR)。门罗币存款和交易将于 5 月 10 日暂停，提款将持续至 6 月 10 日。 Kraken 将于 6 月 10 日禁止提款，并将所有门罗币余额转换为比特币。在此之前，Kraken 在 2 月份从其全球交易所中移除了隐私币。

Kraken Delisted Privacy Cryptocurrency Monero in Belgium and Ireland Amid EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulations

根据欧盟反洗钱法规，Kraken 在比利时和爱尔兰摘牌隐私加密货币门罗币

Brussels, Belgium - Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has announced the delisting of privacy cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) from its platform in Belgium and Ireland, effective June 10, in compliance with stringent anti-money laundering (AML) regulations implemented by the European Union (EU).

比利时布鲁塞尔 - 加密货币交易所 Kraken 宣布，根据欧盟 (EU) 实施的严格反洗钱 (AML) 法规，隐私加密货币门罗币 (XMR) 从其比利时和爱尔兰平台下架，自 6 月 10 日起生效。

The decision, which encompasses the suspension of XMR deposits and trading on May 10, followed a similar move by Kraken in February, when the exchange removed privacy coins from its global platform. Other major exchanges, including Binance and OKX, have also delisted Monero in recent months.

该决定包括 5 月 10 日暂停 XMR 存款和交易，此前 Kraken 在 2 月份也采取了类似举措，当时该交易所从其全球平台上删除了隐私币。包括币安和 OKX 在内的其他主要交易所也在最近几个月下架了门罗币。

Industry analysts have attributed the delisting trend to the EU's heightened focus on combating money laundering and terrorist financing, particularly through the implementation of the 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD), which came into effect last month.

行业分析师将退市趋势归因于欧盟对打击洗钱和恐怖主义融资的高度重视，特别是通过实施上个月生效的第五号反洗钱指令（5AMLD）。

The 5AMLD prohibits crypto asset service providers from offering privacy coins, which allow users to conceal their identities and transaction details, making them attractive for illicit activities. The directive also restricts the use of privacy tokens for merchant payments.

5AMLD 禁止加密资产服务提供商提供隐私币，隐私币允许用户隐藏其身份和交易详细信息，从而对非法活动有吸引力。该指令还限制使用隐私代币进行商家支付。

Patrick Hansen, EU Strategy and Policy Director at Circle, clarified that the new regulations do not ban self-custodial wallets or peer-to-peer transfers, dispelling concerns within the crypto community.

Circle 欧盟战略与政策总监帕特里克·汉森 (Patrick Hansen) 澄清，新规定并不禁止自我托管钱包或点对点转账，这打消了加密社区内部的担忧。

"Self custody wallets are not banned. Payments to/from self custody wallets are not banned. P2P transfers are explicitly excluded from AMLR, as are..." Hansen tweeted on March 23.

“自托管钱包没有被禁止。自托管钱包的付款也没有被禁止。P2P 转账被明确排除在 AMLR 之外，……”Hansen 于 3 月 23 日发推文。

The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) legislation, which became law in June 2023, also classifies privacy coins as contraband. MiCA, which will become enforceable by December, further strengthens the EU's regulatory framework for crypto assets.

欧盟加密资产市场 (MiCA) 立法于 2023 年 6 月成为法律，也将隐私币列为违禁品。 MiCA 将于 12 月生效，进一步加强欧盟对加密资产的监管框架。

Kraken's delisting of XMR has met with a muted response from the market, with the token's price remaining largely unperturbed, trading flat around $133. However, industry experts believe that the trend towards delisting privacy coins is likely to continue as regulators worldwide tighten their grip on the crypto ecosystem.

Kraken 下架 XMR 后，市场反应平淡，该代币的价格基本没有受到影响，稳定在 133 美元左右。然而，行业专家认为，随着全球监管机构加强对加密生态系统的控制，隐私币退市的趋势可能会持续下去。

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets watchdog, has recently published a report outlining its proposals for further crypto regulations under the MiCA framework, seeking public feedback.

欧盟金融市场监管机构欧洲证券和市场管理局 (ESMA) 最近发布了一份报告，概述了其在 MiCA 框架下进一步实施加密货币监管的建议，并寻求公众反馈。

Regulators have expressed concerns about the potential use of privacy coins for money laundering, terrorist financing, and other criminal activities. They argue that the anonymity provided by these coins makes it difficult to trace illicit transactions and enforce AML regulations.

监管机构对隐私币可能被用于洗钱、恐怖主义融资和其他犯罪活动表示担忧。他们认为，这些代币提供的匿名性使得追踪非法交易和执行反洗钱法规变得困难。

The delisting of privacy coins has sparked debate within the crypto community, with some proponents arguing that it infringes upon the fundamental principles of privacy and financial freedom. However, regulators maintain that the measures are necessary to protect consumers and preserve the integrity of the financial system.

隐私币的下架引发了加密社区内部的争论，一些支持者认为这侵犯了隐私和财务自由的基本原则。然而，监管机构坚持认为，这些措施对于保护消费者和维护金融体系的完整性是必要的。

As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the crypto industry will adapt to the increasing pressure on privacy-focused cryptocurrencies.

随着监管环境的不断发展，加密行业将如何适应以隐私为中心的加密货币日益增加的压力仍有待观察。
