Coinbase 因将 WBTC 下架与孙宇晨联系在一起而受到批评
Coinbase 在提交的文件中提到了对 Sun 的担忧，并以财务不当行为指控和正在进行的监管调查作为退市的原因。据交易所称，Sun 参与 WBTC 项目带来了重大风险，可能会损害其平台的完整性。 然而，这一解释引发了加密社区的尖锐批评，许多人质疑 Coinbase 此举的法律和技术理由是否充分。 BiT Global 在 12 月 13 日提起的诉讼中辩称，退市是非法的，将对 WBTC 的经济造成不可弥补的损害。该诉讼还批评 Coinbase 列出其他代币，包括 memecoin，BiT Global 声称这些代币没有 WBTC 严重。 此外，BiT 认为，COIN 推出自己的代币化Bitcoin产品 cbBTC 违反了反垄断法，并可能导致代币化Bitcoin市场的垄断，从而可能抑制竞争。 该交易所的文件指出孙宇晨过去涉嫌的不当行为，包括欺诈和市场操纵的指控，证明了其退市的合理性。它表达了对 BiT Global 信誉的怀疑，强调了该公司与 Sun 的联系。 该交易所辩称，其内部流程导致了将 WBTC 摘牌的决定，因为担心继续与 Sun 合作可能会危及其平台的安全和客户信任。 尽管如此，BiT Global 要求撤销下架的法律请求声称 Coinbase 的决定是武断的且没有法律依据，这表明下架将损害代币的流动性和市场价值。 Bitcoin爱好者和该交易所的批评者，例如著名人物 Pledditor，痛斥了该交易所的行为，指责其依靠站不住脚的理由来删除 WBTC。 在 X 上的一篇帖子中，Pledditor 将 Coinbase 的决定描述为“连带罪”，认为该交易所对 Sun 的敌意掩盖了此举的任何坚实的法律或技术基础。 因此，在今天的法庭文件中， @Coinbase给出了将 wBTC 摘牌的原因，基本上就是他们不喜欢孙宇晨。 Bit Global：WBTC 下架是“不明智的”
加密社区掀起轩然大波
确实就是这样。

The crypto exchange’s justification also faces scrutiny due to its own legal challenges. Sun, who has been the target of multiple regulatory investigations, is facing charges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for alleged violations, including fraud.
Adding to the debate, VanEck adviser Gabor Gurbacs highlighted the irony in COIN’s stance against Sun, pointing out that the exchange itself is embroiled in significant legal battles. Gurbacs noted that Coinbase, which is under investigation by the SEC for allegedly offering unregistered securities, is hypocritical for focusing on Sun’s alleged misconduct while facing its own regulatory challenges.
It’s ironic that @coinbase is treating @justinsuntron this way. Coinbase itself is under SEC and numerous other investigations, probably many more than Justin and his businesses. Questioning someone’s reputation this way might just bring out skeletons from their own closet. https://t.co/LsJx7iOhJR

Meanwhile, the crypto exchange is also facing charges from the SEC, including one filed in June 2023, accusing the exchange of offering unregistered securities through various tokens listed on its platform.
Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, publicly called for a more constructive approach from regulators toward the cryptocurrency industry.
In addition to the SEC investigation, Coinbase also settled with the New York Department of Financial Services in January 2023 for $100 million, addressing concerns about its compliance program.
