OpenSea 开曼群岛注册助长代币投机

据报道，最大的 NFT 市场之一 OpenSea 已在开曼群岛建立了基金会。这一进展引发了猜测

One of the world’s largest non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces, OpenSea, has reportedly established a foundation in the Cayman Islands.

据报道，世界上最大的非同质代币（NFT）市场之一 OpenSea 已在开曼群岛建立了基金会。

This development has sparked speculation among members of the crypto community regarding the platform’s potential plans to issue a token.

这一进展引发了加密社区成员对该平台发行代币的潜在计划的猜测。

On Dec. 13, Mike Dudas, founder of 6th Man Ventures, shared a screenshot revealing that OpenSea registered its foundation in the Cayman Islands back in August.

12 月 13 日，6th Man Ventures 创始人 Mike Dudas 分享了一张截图，显示 OpenSea 早在 8 月份就在开曼群岛注册了基金会。

While OpenSea has yet to confirm or comment on the registration, industry observers speculate that the platform may be positioning itself to leverage the jurisdiction's crypto-friendly policies for a token issuance.

尽管 OpenSea 尚未确认或评论注册事宜，但行业观察人士推测，该平台可能会将自己定位为利用该司法管辖区的加密货币友好政策来发行代币。

Earlier this year, the Cayman Islands introduced amendments to its Virtual Asset (Service Provider) Act, enhancing anti-money laundering measures and introducing licensing for virtual asset platforms.

今年早些时候，开曼群岛对其虚拟资产（服务提供商）法进行了修订，加强了反洗钱措施并引入了虚拟资产平台许可。

These updates position the region as a prime location for crypto businesses seeking regulatory certainty.

这些更新使该地区成为寻求监管确定性的加密货币企业的黄金地段。

However, it remains unclear how OpenSea plans to utilize its registration in the Cayman Islands.

然而，目前尚不清楚 OpenSea 计划如何利用其在开曼群岛的注册。

Crypto community members are urging OpenSea to reward early adopters in any potential token airdrop. Some users hope the platform will consider transactions from 2021 and early 2022 during the NFT market’s peak.

加密货币社区成员敦促 OpenSea 在任何潜在的代币空投中奖励早期采用者。一些用户希望该平台在NFT市场高峰期间考虑2021年和2022年初的交易。

“Are OpenSea going to backdate their token airdrop? Imagine if they pulled transactions back from 2021/2022,” crypto user Wawkem advised.

“OpenSea 是否会回溯他们的代币空投日期？想象一下，如果他们从 2021/2022 年撤回交易，”加密货币用户 Wawkem 建议道。

“After seeing Blur and Magic Eden airdrop, I doubt OpenSea won’t go down a similar path to improve their volume and revenues in V2.”

“在看到 Blur 和 Magic Eden 空投之后，我怀疑 OpenSea 不会走类似的道路来提高 V2 的销量和收入。”

The rumors of a token launch come during a challenging period for OpenSea. Data from Dune Analytics shows that at its height, OpenSea achieved an average of over $2 billion in monthly trading volume.

关于发行代币的传言是在 OpenSea 面临挑战的时期传出的。 Dune Analytics 的数据显示，OpenSea 在鼎盛时期的月交易量平均超过 20 亿美元。

In contrast, the platform’s highest volume this year is just over $120 million, as it has ceded market dominance to competitors like Magic Eden and Blur.

相比之下，该平台今年的最高销量刚刚超过 1.2 亿美元，因为它已将市场主导地位让给了 Magic Eden 和 Blur 等竞争对手。

Observers noted that a token launch could provide the boost OpenSea needs to regain its competitive edge in the NFT market.

观察人士指出，代币的推出可以为 OpenSea 提供所需的推动力，以重新获得其在 NFT 市场的竞争优势。

Moreover, it could also serve as a lifeline for the marketplace as the company deals with regulatory pressures, including a Wells Notice from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

此外，当该公司应对监管压力（包括美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的威尔斯通知）时，它还可以成为市场的生命线。
