伦敦,10月29日:英国金融监管机构周四表示,已获得法院支持的协议,禁止加密货币交易所HTX 明知故犯地向英国客户非法推广加密资产服务。
LONDON, Oct 29 : Britain's financial regulator has secured a court-backed agreement with cryptocurrency exchange HTX that will bar it from knowingly promoting cryptoasset services unlawfully to UK customers, the watchdog said on Thursday.
英国金融行为监管局(FCA)于2025年10月起诉HTX——该平台前身为火币,是全球最大的加密货币平台之一——指控其在英国进行非法推广。
The Financial Conduct Authority had in October 2025 sued HTX — formerly known as Huobi and one of the world's largest crypto platforms – over alleged illegal UK promotions.
多年来,全球监管机构和当局一直警告称,新兴加密货币市场——通常比主流金融市场监管较少——对投资者构成风险。
Regulators and authorities around the world have for years warned that nascent crypto markets – which are generally less regulated than mainstream financial markets – present risks to investors.
FCA 首次在高等法院就向英国消费者营销一事与一家海外加密货币公司交锋,凸显出一些监管机构正试图监管那些企业结构可能不透明、且无视监管、却能通过互联网触达客户的全球性加密货币公司。
The FCA's first High Court battle against an overseas crypto firm over marketing to UK consumers highlights how some authorities are trying to police global crypto companies that can have opaque corporate structures and ignore them – while reaching customers via the Internet.
FCA 称此举向加密货币公司发出信号 中国亿万富翁孙宇晨于2022年收购HTX 控股权。FCA 表示,在法律程序启动后,HTX 采取措施退出英国市场,经过漫长的和解谈判,双方达成协议,HTX 将不再以英国消费者为目标、招揽或主动寻求与其接触。
FCA SAYS IT SENDS MESSAGE TO CRYPTO FIRMS The FCA said HTX, in which Chinese billionaire Justin Sun bought a controlling stake in 2022, took steps to exit Britain after legal proceedings were started and, following lengthy settlement talks, a deal was struck under which HTX will not target, solicit or actively seek to engage UK consumers.
FCA 执法与市场监管总监史蒂夫·斯马特表示:“加密货币公司不应有任何幻想:身处海外并不意味着能置身英国法律之外。”
"Crypto firms should be under no illusion: being based overseas does not put them beyond the reach of UK law," said Steve Smart, FCA director of enforcement and market oversight.
“我们的行动意味着 HTX 正在离开英国,不再能以英国消费者为目标。给其他公司的信息很明确:遵守规则,否则将承担后果。”HTX 表示,始终致力于遵守全球“不断演变的监管框架”。
"Our action means HTX is leaving the UK and can no longer target UK consumers. The message to other firms is clear: follow the rules or face the consequences." HTX said it had remained fully committed to complying with "evolving regulatory frameworks" globally.
该公司在声明中称:“我们高度重视当地合规要求,并已主动采取措施,以符合英国的金融推广法规。”
"We take local compliance requirements seriously and have proactively implemented measures to align with the UK's financial promotion regulations," the company said in a statement.
“HTX 将继续专注于为全球合格用户提供安全、透明且合规的服务。”
"HTX continues to focus on providing safe, transparent and compliant services to eligible users worldwide."
