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。
