路透援引法院文件报道,英国金融行为监管局(FCA)正与加密交易平台 HTX 就一宗违法推广案磋商和解。伦敦高等法院已将案件程序暂停至 8 月下旬,以便双方继续谈判。

案件聚焦英国推广行为

FCA 去年 10 月提起这起诉讼。这是英国针对加密交易平台营销行为采取的首类执法行动之一。监管方寻求法院发布禁令,并请求确认被告违反了《金融服务与市场法》第 21 条。

诉讼对象覆盖平台控制方

起诉文件列出的被告包括 2023 年 5 月在巴拿马注册的 Huobi Global S.A.,以及四类“身份未明人士”。这些对象涵盖 htx.com 的所有者或控制者、用户协议中所称的“HTX 运营方”、平台社交账号运营者,以及 2028 年 10 月 31 日前接手上述角色的任何人。

法院文件显示,HTX 的用户协议将运营方定义为“运行平台的所有各方”,但未点名具体实体,并保留随时变更的空间。报道提到,2022 年取得控制性权益的孙宇晨并未被列为被告。

FCA称英国用户仍可交易

FCA 在诉状中说明了其取证方式。一名监管人员使用英国 IP 地址,通过 HTX 的点对点服务购买加密资产,并在完成英国驾照身份验证后,交易了两个期货合约交易对。

监管方还指出,HTX 网站提供英文界面,接受英镑,并支持英国照片证件认证。与此同时,平台条款仅限制英国零售用户参与衍生品交易,但并未阻止其交易其他加密资产;实际操作中,相关用户也未被有效拦截在期货交易之外。

警示名单后仍陷诉讼

HTX 于 2023 年 10 月被列入 FCA 警示名单,当天正是英国加密推广新规生效之日。报道还称,HTX 未回应 FCA 于 2025 年 8 月发出的诉前函件。

此次和解谈判进行之际,HTX 还面临其他制裁压力。英国此前以涉嫌与俄罗斯制裁规避有关为由制裁 HTX 和孙宇晨,欧盟两个月后也在对俄措施中点名该交易所。不过,FCA 这起案件与制裁事项分开,焦点仅限于面向英国消费者的营销与推广行为。

Strive CEO: The Binance hack incident has not changed the long-term logic of Bitcoin, but it is still too early to determine whether the market has hit bottom
Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that despite Binance suffering a hacker attack worth approximately $6.3 billion, this has not changed his long-term investment judgment on Bitcoin. He described the incident as more of a "bank robbery" of the exchange's system rather than a failure of the Bitcoin network itself. However, it is still too early to determine whether the market has bottomed out.

TechCrunch reports that TikTok is gradually integrating functions such as e-commerce, payment, dining and map information, hotel and attraction reservations, sports content, music, micro-dramas, and games into a single platform, in an attempt to reduce the need for users to switch between different apps and to develop towards a "super app" model.

CFTC Chairman Says Binance Hacker Attack Indicates That Offshore Exchanges Need US Regulation
Michael Selliger, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated that the $6.4 billion hack incident at Binance “precisely demonstrates” the necessity of the crypto market regulations proposed by the agency this month. He described the attack as being more likely caused by a vulnerability introduced through a laptop rather than a flaw in the blockchain itself; however, Binance later indicated that the investigation had uncovered “more entry points” for the attack.

Intel experiences its largest single-day decline in over forty years; the NASDAQ falls nearly 3%, gold drops to a one-year low, and crude oil continues to rise for four months in a row.
Amazon and Intel's financial reports disappointed the market. Investors are increasingly skeptical about the returns on the huge AI expenditures of these tech giants. All three major U.S. stock indices closed lower, with tech stocks leading the decline, while energy and essential consumer goods sectors performed strongly against the trend. Driven by the Middle East situation, crude oil prices rose to a six-month high; U.S. Treasury yields fell, gold dropped to a one-year low, and Bitcoin lost its support below $77,000.
