OKX 选择马耳他而不是法国作为欧洲中心，以遵守欧盟 MiCA 加密货币规则：消息来源

OKX 此前曾于 2023 年 5 月表示，法国将是其首选的欧洲中心。 “马耳他的合规性要宽松得多，”一位直接了解 OKX 欧盟监管工作的人士表示。

Cryptocurrency exchange OKX (OKB) is setting up the Mediterranean island of Malta as its European base for regulatory compliance with the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

据两位知情人士透露，加密货币交易所 OKX (OKB) 正在将地中海岛屿马耳他设立为欧洲加密资产市场 (MiCA) 框架监管合规基地。

The move comes after OKX stated in May 2023 that France would be its preferred European hub. Its French arm has been registered with the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) since December.

在此之前，OKX 于 2023 年 5 月表示法国将是其首选的欧洲中心。自12月起，其法国分公司已在金融市场管理局（AMF）注册。

However, according to a person with direct knowledge of OKX's EU regulatory efforts, "Compliance in Malta is way more lenient, and that's not the tag you want to have when you're in crypto and trying to make it in the EU."

然而，一位直接了解 OKX 欧盟监管工作的人士表示，“马耳他的合规性要宽松得多，当你涉足加密领域并试图在欧盟发展时，这不是你想要的标签。”

OKX declined to comment on the Malta decision.

OKX 拒绝对马耳他的决定发表评论。

To prepare for the upcoming MiCA rules, companies are seeking registration with one of the 27 European Union nations. These rules require firms to obtain a crypto asset service provider (CASP) license from an EU nation to operate throughout the bloc.

为了为即将出台的 MiCA 规则做好准备，各公司正在寻求在 27 个欧盟国家之一进行注册。这些规则要求公司获得欧盟国家的加密资产服务提供商（CASP）许可证才能在整个欧盟范围内运营。

Before obtaining the CASP license, firms must have a physical presence in the nation, conduct some business there and be already registered.

在获得 CASP 许可证之前，公司必须在该国拥有实体存在、开展业务并已注册。

While MiCA's stablecoin rules are already in effect, the remaining rules will be implemented in December.

虽然 MiCA 的稳定币规则已经生效，但其余规则将于 12 月实施。

In recent years, Malta, which already hosts numerous gaming companies and some investment firms, has shown interest in crypto.

近年来，已经拥有众多游戏公司和一些投资公司的马耳他对加密货币表现出了兴趣。

The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) updated its regulations for crypto companies in late 2023 to align them with the upcoming MI CA regime.

马耳他金融服务管理局 (MFSA) 于 2023 年底更新了针对加密货币公司的法规，以使其与即将推出的 MI CA 制度保持一致。

The exchange is currently advertising for several senior roles in Malta, including head of compliance, operations lead and head of internal audit.

该交易所目前正在马耳他招聘多个高级职位，包括合规主管、运营主管和内部审计主管。

Earlier this year, OKX reached a "goodwill" settlement of EUR 304,000 (around $329,000) with the Maltese financial regulator over certain regulatory breaches.

今年早些时候，OKX 就某些监管违规行为与马耳他金融监管机构达成了 304,000 欧元（约合 329,000 美元）的“善意”和解。
