美國法院重新審理針對 Binance.US 的 HEX 操縱案

美國上訴法院部分推翻了先前駁回針對 Binance.US 的集體訴訟的裁決。該訴訟指控加密貨幣交易所非法操縱 HEX 代幣的價格。

A United States appeals court has partially overturned a previous dismissal of a class-action lawsuit against Binance.US. The lawsuit accuses the cryptocurrency exchange of unlawfully manipulating the price of the HEX token.

美國上訴法院部分推翻了先前駁回針對 Binance.US 的集體訴訟的裁決。該訴訟指控加密貨幣交易所非法操縱 HEX 代幣的價格。

A panel of three judges from the Ninth Circuit ruled on August 12 that the plaintiff, Ryan Cox, had presented valid claims against Binance.US and CoinMarketCap. The panel disagreed with a district court’s earlier dismissal, which had found that Cox failed to establish a sufficient connection between specific actions in Arizona and Binance.US.

由第九巡迴法院的三名法官組成的陪審團於 8 月 12 日裁定，原告 Ryan Cox 對 Binance.US 和 CoinMarketCap 提出了有效的索賠。該小組不同意地區法院先前的駁回裁決，該裁決認為 Cox 未能在亞利桑那州的具體行動與 Binance.US 之間建立足夠的聯繫。

Appeals Court Upholds Claims

上訴法院維持原判

Cox initially filed the class-action lawsuit in 2021. He alleged that Binance Capital Management and Binance.US had artificially restricted the HEX token’s ranking on CoinMarketCap. CoinMarketCap is a cryptocurrency price-tracking platform owned by Binance.

Cox 最初於 2021 年提起集體訴訟。 CoinMarketCap 是幣安旗下的加密貨幣價格追蹤平台。

According to Cox, this manipulation caused HEX to trade at a lower price compared to Binance's own cryptocurrencies, which were ranked higher.

Cox 表示，這種操縱導致 HEX 的交易價格低於排名較高的幣安自己的加密貨幣。

The district court dismissed the lawsuit in February 2023. The judge had concluded that Cox did not prove a concrete link between Binance.US’s activities and the alleged manipulation of HEX in Arizona.

地區法院於 2023 年 2 月駁回了訴訟。

However, the Ninth Circuit panel found that the district court's requirement for establishing "sufficient minimum contacts" between Binance.US and Arizona was incorrect. The appeals court stated that the district court had personal jurisdiction over the defendants because they had significant contacts with the broader United States.

然而，第九巡迴法庭小組發現，地方法院關於在 Binance.US 和亞利桑那州之間建立「足夠的最低限度聯繫」的要求是不正確的。上訴法院表示，地區法院對被告擁有屬人管轄權，因為他們與美國廣大地區有重要聯繫。

HEX Token Value Plummets

HEX 代幣價值暴跌

The panel’s opinion noted that both Binance.US and CoinMarketCap have sufficient connections with the U.S. due to their incorporation or principal place of business within the country. This satisfies the due process requirements for personal jurisdiction.

專家小組的意見指出，Binance.US 和 CoinMarketCap 由於在美國註冊成立或主要營業地點在美國，因此與美國有足夠的聯繫。這滿足屬人管轄權的正當程序要求。

The appeals court also determined that Cox's claims of price manipulation against Binance.US were valid. The case has been remanded for further legal proceedings.

上訴法院還裁定 Cox 針對 Binance.US 的價格操縱指控有效。該案已發回進一步法律程序。

The HEX token was launched in December 2019 by Richard Heart. On July 31, 2023, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Heart for violating federal securities laws and defrauding investors of at least $12.1 million. The SEC alleged that Heart used investor funds for personal luxury purchases, including a 555-carat diamond, expensive watches, and high-end cars.

HEX 代幣由 Richard Heart 於 2019 年 12 月推出。 2023 年 7 月 31 日，SEC 對 Heart 提起訴訟，指控其違反聯邦證券法並詐騙投資者至少 1,210 萬美元。 SEC 指控 Heart 使用投資者資金購買個人奢侈品，包括 555 克拉的鑽石、昂貴的手錶和高端汽車。

Currently, the HEX token is trading at $0.004, a decline of over 99% from its all-time high of $0.51 in September 2021.

目前，HEX 代幣的交易價格為 0.004 美元，較 2021 年 9 月的歷史高點 0.51 美元下跌了 99% 以上。
