Magic Eden 為美國用戶創建單獨的域名，引發加密貨幣社群的不滿

Magic Eden 是不可取代代幣 (NFT) 市場的知名參與者，最近宣布決定為美國用戶建立專用網域。

Magic Eden, a leading non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, has announced the creation of a separate domain for U.S.-based users, a move prompted by the increasing regulatory pressures within the country.

領先的非同質化代幣 (NFT) 市場 Magic Eden 宣佈為美國用戶創建一個單獨的域名，此舉是由於該國境內日益增加的監管壓力所致。

In a brief post on X (formerly Twitter), Magic Eden stated that the decision was made to ensure compliance with the U.S. regulatory landscape, which has seen the recent involvement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the NFT market.

Magic Eden 在 X（前 Twitter）上發布的簡短貼文表示，做出這項決定是為了確保符合美國監管環境，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）最近介入了 NFT 市場。

As per the new structure, U.S. users of Magic Eden will be directed to a separate domain, while the platform’s international site, hosted on the .io domain, will continue to roll out new features and innovations.

根據新的結構，Magic Eden 的美國用戶將被導向到一個單獨的網域，而平台託管在 .io 網域上的國際網站將繼續推出新功能和創新。

This shift is seen by many as a precautionary step, given the SEC’s reported investigation into other NFT marketplaces, including OpenSea, which recently received a Wells notice from the regulatory body.

鑑於 SEC 對其他 NFT 市場（包括最近收到監管機構 Wells 通知的 OpenSea）的調查，許多人認為這種轉變是一種預防措施。

While the platform’s effort to stay ahead of the regulatory curve may be seen as a strategic move, the decision has not been met with universal enthusiasm within the crypto community.

儘管該平台為保持領先於監管曲線而做出的努力可能被視為一項策略性舉措，但這項決定並未得到加密貨幣社群的普遍熱情。

Following the announcement, several members of the community took to social media to express their discontent, raising concerns about the limitations that this U.S.-specific domain could impose on American users.

消息公佈後，一些社群成員在社群媒體上表達了他們的不滿，引發了人們對這個美國特定網域可能對美國用戶造成的限制的擔憂。

One of the primary concerns voiced by users is that U.S. residents may miss out on features such as airdrops, a common and lucrative aspect of the NFT space.

用戶表達的主要擔憂之一是，美國居民可能會錯過空投等功能，而空投是 NFT 領域常見且利潤豐厚的方面。

“Step Towards Centralization”

“邁向集中化”

Some critics also argue that this division creates an unequal playing field, with U.S. users losing out on the full suite of services available to their international counterparts.

一些批評者也認為，這種劃分造成了不平等的競爭環境，美國用戶無法享受國際用戶提供的全套服務。

“This feels like a step toward centralization, and it’s disappointing to see a platform of Magic Eden’s stature moving in this direction,” one user wrote.

「這感覺像是朝著集中化邁出了一步，看到 Magic Eden 這樣的平台朝這個方向發展令人失望，」一位用戶寫道。

Another user chimed in, “Restricting U.S. users from fully participating in the NFT market is effectively cutting off a major revenue stream for many.”

另一位用戶插話道：“限制美國用戶充分參與 NFT 市場實際上切斷了許多人的主要收入來源。”

In August, Magic Eden announced the launch of the ME token through the Magic Eden Foundation, as part of the platform’s efforts to enhance cross-chain trading and boost decentralized application (DApp) development.

8 月，Magic Eden 宣布透過 Magic Eden 基金會推出 ME 代幣，作為該平台增強跨鏈交易和促進去中心化應用程式 (DApp) 開發的努力的一部分。

The ME token is also expected to play a key role in the platform’s future governance as it transitions into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

隨著平台轉變為去中心化自治組織（DAO），ME 代幣預計也將在平台未來的治理中發揮關鍵作用。

Meanwhile, the broader NFT market has faced its own challenges. Just recently, a CryptoPunk NFT, once valued at $23.2 million, was sold at an 80% discount for 1,500 ETH (roughly $3.9 million).

同時，更廣泛的 NFT 市場也面臨著自身的挑戰。就在最近，一枚曾經價值 2,320 萬美元的 CryptoPunk NFT 以 80% 的折扣價以 1,500 ETH（約 390 萬美元）的價格出售。

The original owner, Deepak Thapliyal, had purchased the NFT for 8,000 ETH but decided to part ways with it, while the new buyer, VOMBATUS, described the purchase as getting the NFT for “free” due to the steep price drop.

原所有者 Deepak Thapliyal 以 8,000 ETH 的價格購買了 NFT，但決定分道揚鑣，而新買家 VOMBATUS 則將這次購買形容為“免費”獲得 NFT，因為價格急劇下跌。
