英国法院推进了前 Saitama 首席执行官 Manpreet Kohli 的对美引渡程序。根据路透报道,法官 Samuel Goozee 于 8 月 19 日驳回 Kohli 的抗辩,并将案件移交英国政府,就美国提出的引渡请求作出下一步决定。

Kohli 目前仍可继续上诉,因此引渡尚未最终确定。他现阶段以 20 万英镑保释在外,约合 27.24 万美元。报道同时提到,Kohli 尚未被定罪。

引渡抗辩未获支持

Kohli 此前反对被引渡,理由之一是担心自己在美国羁押期间的心理健康状况,以及可能存在自杀风险。法官认为,在转移过程和美国监狱体系内,相关保障措施足以把风险控制在可接受范围内,因此没有采纳这一抗辩理由。

这一进展发生前,波士顿联邦法院本月早些时候也作出过一项对 Kohli 不利的裁定。当地法官驳回了他要求撤销起诉书的申请。Kohli 当时主张,Saitama 代币在美国法律下不能被认定为证券。

美国指控涉及代币操纵

这起案件源于美国司法部此前针对加密市场操纵展开的调查。2024 年 10 月 9 日,也就是 Kohli 在伦敦被捕两天后,美国司法部公布了“Operation Token Mirrors”行动下的起诉内容,指控相关人员涉嫌欺诈和洗售交易。

所谓洗售交易,是指通过多个账户反复买卖同一资产,或与他人协同行动,制造虚假的成交量和市场活跃度,而并非真实交易需求推动。

检方称获利约2000万美元

按照美国司法部说法,包括 Kohli 在内的 18 人曾在多个钱包之间协调买入代币,并向 ZM Quant 和 Gotbit 支付费用,要求后者在多家交易所进行洗售交易。检方还称,这些高管一边公开否认出售持仓,一边私下抛售代币,套现数百万美元。

检方指控 Kohli 个人获利约 2000 万美元。报道还提到,做市商 Gotbit 此后已承认曾为包括 Saitama 在内的客户操纵代币价格和成交量。2025 年 6 月,Gotbit 被裁定没收 2300 万美元,其创始人 Aleksei Andriunin 被判处 8 个月监禁。

Solana Mainnet enables 4096-byte transactions: More space, but also brings upgrade pressure on indexers
Solana will enable v1 transaction-related functions on the mainnet Epoch on September 15th at 01:20 UTC. The maximum size of a single transaction will be increased from 1232 bytes to 4096 bytes, which is approximately 3.3 times the original size. The official upgrade page indicates that the activation is expected to occur at this time, and the mainnet status will be marked as activated. The new format provides more space for zero-knowledge proofs, large multi-signatures, batch processing, and some on-chain signature schemes, reducing the need for developers to split a single operation into multiple transactions. The existing legacy and v0 transactions will continue to function, so this is not a hard fork that requires all wallets and applications to switch immediately.

Canadian wholesale sales rose slightly by 0.3% in July: Building materials saw strength, but actual sales decreased by 0.6%
On September 15, Statistics Canada announced that in July 2026, wholesale sales increased by 0.3% month-on-month at current prices, reaching C$91.4 billion. This figure does not include oil, petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons, nor does it include oilseeds and grains. On the surface, there was little change in sales amounts, with growth even observed in the building materials and food sectors; however, when calculated at constant prices, total sales volume decreased by 0.6%. The increase in nominal amounts while the actual quantity decreased indicates that price factors supported the data for that month, and it also serves as a reminder to the market that one positive growth figure alone should not be used to conclude that demand has strengthened.

From June to August 2026, there were an estimated 702,000 job vacancies, which is a decrease of 8,000 from March to May, representing a 1.1% decline. Excluding the pandemic period, the last time there were 702,000 or fewer job vacancies was from August to October 2014, when there were 701,000 vacancies. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate from May to July was estimated at 4.9%, and the employment rate was 75.1%; average regular wages increased by 3.5% year-on-year, while total wages including bonuses grew by 3.9%. These figures indicate a market where recruitment demand remains low and wage growth is slowing down.
