美國 SEC 的飢餓遊戲：Coinbase 被迫參賽，誰是下一個？

編按：美國是加密貨幣行業的領先者，其監管制度與執法動作對全球各國政府皆具有指標性意義。日前，美國證券交易委員會 (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 後文統稱 SEC) 對 Coinbase 前員工提出內線交易指控，並此案中有關的 9 種加密貨幣列為證券，引起業界譁然。曾在美國聯準會（Federal Reserve System, Fed) 服務超過十年的 XREX 風控總監邢智超撰寫此文，爬梳事件的來龍去脈，他形容 SEC 缺乏一致性與透明度的針對性執法，就像是隨機挑選飢餓遊戲的參賽者一樣，讓業者無所適從並扼殺創新機會。邢智超也在文末提出三點務實的改善建議。文 / 邢智超 Michael Shing 2022 年 7 月，SEC 對一名前 Coinbase 員工和他的兩名同夥提出內線交易指控。這三名被告涉嫌在 Coinbase 交易所上架加密貨幣與上市公告之前，取得內線消息搶先交易，獲得 110 萬美元的不法獲利。如果只是內線交易的指控，或許還不會讓 Coinbase 佔據頭條新聞版面，但在這起事件中有關的 9 種加密貨幣，被 SEC 列為其管轄範圍的證券，可能對加密貨幣業前景產生深遠影響。《彭博社》報導指出，在提出內線交易指控後，SEC 已對 Coinbase 發起調查，指控他們上架未註冊的證券並提供交易服務。 SEC… Read More

插旗歐洲市場：台灣新創 XREX 獲立陶宛虛擬通貨業者 (VASP) 註冊許可

2022 年 5 月 24 日, 台灣台北— 區塊鏈「新金融科技」公司 XREX 宣布，取得立陶宛的加密貨幣交易所與錢包營運商註冊許可，獲准在立陶宛提供加密貨幣相關服務。這是繼 XREX 取得美國與加拿大的貨幣服務商牌照，並完成台灣金管會洗錢防治聲明書後，在全球法遵與合規版圖上再下一城。立陶宛以金融科技創新著名，近年來區塊鏈產業也蓬勃發展。率先取得立陶宛金融犯罪調查局 (Financial Crime Investigation Service, FCIS) 核發之虛擬通貨業者許可，是 XREX 進軍歐洲市場的重要前哨站，擴大服務與發展中國家有生意往來的當地企業、在立陶宛工作的海外工作專業人士與加密貨幣投資者。 XREX 共同創辦人暨執行長黃耀文表示：「XREX 與銀行、監管機構和用戶共同改寫金融定義的承諾從未動搖。我們持續評估和研究立陶宛、歐盟與其他地區的監管要求，搭建一座永續且穩固的橋樑，串接傳統金融系統與加密貨幣創新科技。」立陶宛的官方許可允許 XREX 在立陶宛經營法幣與加密貨幣交易所，並可執行保存、儲存和轉移加密貨幣的錢包服務。這意味著立陶宛的用戶，很快就可以利用 XREX 平台，買賣、轉換與交易加密貨幣，也可使用履約保證型數位支票 BitCheck，快速且安全地完成商業支付、跨國轉帳與 P2P 交易等服務。立陶宛經濟部長阿爾莫奈特（Aušrinė Armonaitė）表示：「XREX 進軍立陶宛市場，象徵著立陶宛與台灣雙邊關係的進一步深化。我敢肯定的是，立陶宛富有創新能量且快速發展的金融科技生態圈，能夠為 XREX 創造良好的成長環境。」 XREX 的使命是橋接發達國家和印度、非洲、中東、南美洲等新興市場，立陶宛的註冊許可有助於 XREX 縮短歐盟與發展中國家的距離，這也體現了立陶宛和 XREX 的技術研發中心所在地台灣之間的友好關係。在文化開放的環境中促進貿易發展並扶植產業成長，是台灣與立陶宛共享的價值與理念。立陶宛投資局 (Invest Lithuania) 局長席維里斯 (Elijus Civilis) 表示，作為歐盟的金融科技樞紐，在立陶宛獲發執照的金融科技公司居歐盟之冠。立陶宛致力於打造一個健全且有活力的金融科技生態圈，洗錢防治的落實是其核心。「我們很高興 XREX… Read More
