泰国的SEC起诉OKX以操作无执照的加密交易所

全世界的监管机构正在收紧对加密交流的控制，泰国表现出明确的立场。该国的证券交易委员会（SEC）已针对OKX发起法律诉讼

Regulators around the world are keeping a close eye on crypto exchanges, and in a recent development, the attention of the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has turned to OKX, one of the biggest names in the industry.

世界各地的监管机构都密切关注加密交易所，在最近的发展中，泰国证券交易委员会（SEC）的关注已转向OKX，这是该行业中最知名的之一。

The SEC has decided to take legal action against Aux Cayes FinTech Co Ltd, the company behind OKX, along with nine individuals linked to the platform. The reason for this move is allegedly the operation of an unapproved crypto trading platform within Thailand.

SEC已决定针对OKX背后的公司Aux Cayes Fintech Co Ltd采取法律行动，并与与该平台相关的9个人。据称，此举的原因是在泰国境内未经认可的加密货币交易平台的运作。

The charges against OKX stem from its activities in 2021, where it allegedly provided crypto trading services to Thai investors without obtaining the necessary approval from the SEC. According to a statement by the regulator, the exchange actively promoted its services through social media channels like Telegram, X (formerly Twitter), and Line OpenChat, charging a 0.1% trading fee, just like licensed exchanges in the country.

对OKX的指控源于其在2021年的活动，据称该活动向泰国投资者提供了加密货币交易服务，而无需获得SEC的必要批准。根据监管机构的一份声明，该交易所通过Telegram，X（以前为Twitter）和Line OpenChat等社交媒体渠道积极促进其服务，收取0.1％的交易费，就像该国持牌交易所一样。

This, the SEC claims, is a violation of Thailand’s Emergency Decree on Digital Asset Businesses, which mandates that only approved firms can provide crypto services and charge fees for trading. The nine individuals named in the complaint allegedly aided in promoting OKX to investors in Thailand, and their involvement goes beyond simple marketing, as the SEC believes they played a role in the exchange’s unauthorized activities.

SEC声称，这违反了泰国关于数字资产业务的紧急法令，该法令规定，只有批准的公司才能提供加密服务和交易费用。据称，投诉中提到的九个人有助于向泰国的投资者推广OKX，而他们的参与范围不仅仅是简单的营销，因为SEC认为他们在交易所未经授权的活动中发挥了作用。

The case has been passed on to the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD), which will determine the subsequent legal action and impose penalties if required. If found guilty, OKX and the individuals involved could face hefty fines and imprisonment.

该案已转移给经济犯罪施加司（ECD），该司将确定随后的法律诉讼，并在需要时施加罚款。如果被判有罪，OKX和所涉及的个人将面临罚款和监禁。

The SEC has also issued a warning to investors regarding the dangers of using unlicensed crypto platforms. As these platforms operate outside regulatory frameworks, there are no guarantees regarding the safety of investors’ funds or the legitimacy of the platforms themselves.

SEC还向投资者发出了有关使用无执照的加密平台的危险的警告。由于这些平台在监管框架之外运行，因此对投资者资金的安全性或平台本身的合法性没有保证。

This could leave users susceptible to scams or financial losses, as the SEC notes. The regulator strongly advises traders to always verify the licensing status of a platform in the country of operation before investing.

正如SEC所指出的那样，这可能会使用户容易遭受骗局或财务损失。监管机构强烈建议交易者在投资之前始终验证平台在运营国家的许可状态。

This case is part of a broader trend of regulatory bodies stepping up their oversight of the crypto sector. As more governments introduce and enforce stricter regulations, exchanges that fail to comply with the legal requirements in the respective jurisdictions could face significant consequences.

此案是监管机构加强对加密货币部门的监督的更广泛趋势的一部分。随着越来越多的政府介绍和执行更严格的法规，不遵守各自司法管辖区法律要求的交流可能会面临重大后果。
