Justin Sun-backed BiT Global has initiated legal proceedings against crypto exchange Coinbase for the unfair delisting of Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) in favor of its competing Bitcoin product.
贾斯汀·孙 (Justin Sun) 支持的 BiT Global 已对加密货币交易所 Coinbase 提起法律诉讼,指控其不公平地将 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) 退市,转而支持其竞争的比特币产品。
BiT Global filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Coinbase, alleging that the U.S. crypto exchange illicitly replaced WBTC with its "knock-off" cbBTC token.
BiT Global 对 Coinbase 提起 10 亿美元诉讼,指控美国加密货币交易所非法用其“山寨”cbBTC 代币取代了 WBTC。
WBTC was the pioneering tokenized Bitcoin asset, enabling users to trade BTC on networks such as Ethereum. Initially, BitGo managed custody for WBTC since its inception in January 2019. However, in August 2020, BitGo announced a partnership agreement to share operations among three entities, including Sun's BiT Global.
WBTC 是开创性的代币化比特币资产,使用户能够在以太坊等网络上交易 BTC。最初,BitGo 自 2019 年 1 月成立以来一直负责 WBTC 的托管。然而,2020 年 8 月,BitGo 宣布了一项合作协议,由三个实体(包括 Sun 的 BiT Global)共享业务。
This new arrangement, met with widespread community criticism, assigned Hong Kong-based BiT Global as the primary custodian for WBTC. Several protocols, including Aave and Sky, contemplated removing the token as a collateral option but ultimately abstained from action.
这一新安排遭到了社区的广泛批评,指定总部位于香港的 BiT Global 作为 WBTC 的主要托管人。包括 Aave 和 Sky 在内的多个协议曾考虑取消代币作为抵押品的选择,但最终放弃了行动。
Coinbase communicated the pending delisting of WBTC, effective December 19, 2024, citing listing standards, as reported by crypto.news in late November. This announcement followed Coinbase's unveiling of its cbBTC token on its layer-network Base and Ethereum, initially teased amidst the ongoing WBTC controversy.
据 crypto.news 11 月底报道,Coinbase 援引上市标准,宣布 WBTC 即将下架,该决定将于 2024 年 12 月 19 日生效。在此公告之前,Coinbase 在其层网络 Base 和以太坊上推出了 cbBTC 代币,最初是在正在进行的 WBTC 争议中进行的。
Legal representatives from Kneupper & Covey, representing BiT Global, asserted that Coinbase's delisting of WBTC contravened anti-competitive policies and federal regulations.
BiT Global 的 Kneupper & Covey 法律代表声称,Coinbase 将 WBTC 下架违反了反竞争政策和联邦法规。
"We firmly believe that this decision sets a dangerous precedent for the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. If a prominent exchange such as Coinbase can arbitrarily delist a cryptocurrency upon the impending launch of its own competing product, who is truly safe? Who will be next?"
“我们坚信,这一决定为整个加密货币生态系统树立了一个危险的先例。如果像 Coinbase 这样的知名交易所可以在自己的竞争产品即将推出时任意下架某种加密货币,那么谁是真正安全的?谁会是下一个?”
The lawsuit contests Coinbase's claim of listing standards, citing the exchange's ongoing support for "fundamentally valueless" memecoins like Pepe (PEPE). BiT Global seeks damages exceeding $1 billion and injunctive relief against Coinbase.
Kevin Kneupper, Kneupper & Covey 该诉讼对 Coinbase 的上市标准主张提出质疑,理由是该交易所持续支持 Pepe (PEPE) 等“根本上毫无价值”的 memecoin。 BiT Global 寻求针对 Coinbase 的超过 10 亿美元的损失赔偿和禁令救济。
Notwithstanding the delisting, WBTC remains the dominant tokenized Bitcoin asset, boasting a market capitalization of $13.7 billion, surpassing its $8 billion valuation during the initial controversy in mid-Q2 2024.
尽管退市,WBTC 仍然是占主导地位的代币化比特币资产,市值达到 137 亿美元,超过了 2024 年第二季度中期最初争议期间的 80 亿美元估值。
