逮捕数十亿英镑的加密货币洗钱行动

英国加密货币领域的一项重大发展，当局最近逮捕了两名与涉嫌非法数字货币有关的个人

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has arrested two people in connection with an alleged illicit digital currency exchange operation, reportedly involving over £1 billion.

英国金融行为监管局 (FCA) 逮捕了两名涉嫌非法数字货币兑换业务的人员，据称涉案金额超过 10 亿英镑。

The arrests, made in collaboration with the London police, follow a raid on two London properties. Several devices were seized as part of the evidence collection process.

这次逮捕行动是与伦敦警方合作进行的，此前他们对伦敦的两处房产进行了突击搜查。作为证据收集过程的一部分，一些设备被查获。

Those arrested, a 38-year-old and a 44-year-old, have been released on bail pending further investigations.

被捕者分别为一名38岁和一名44岁，现已保释候查。

The crackdown comes amid increasing vigilance against money laundering activities through digital currencies.

此次打击行动正值人们对通过数字货币进行的洗钱活动日益警惕之际。

“We will continue to clamp down on any illicit activity in the crypto sector and will not hesitate to take robust action where necessary,” said Therese Chambers, FCA’s Executive Director of Enforcement and Market Oversight.

FCA 执法和市场监督执行董事 Therese Chambers 表示：“我们将继续打击加密货币领域的任何非法活动，并将在必要时毫不犹豫地采取强有力的行动。”

“Our aim is clear – to drive dirty money out of the UK financial system and ensure the integrity of our markets.”

“我们的目标很明确——将脏钱赶出英国金融体系，并确保我们市场的诚信。”

Under UK financial legislation, all crypto-related businesses must register with the FCA and adhere to strict anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

根据英国金融立法，所有与加密货币相关的企业都必须在 FCA 注册并遵守严格的反洗钱 (AML) 法规。

The recent actions reflect a broader initiative to tighten oversight on cryptocurrency exchanges and related services, which have been under increased scrutiny due to their potential misuse for financial crimes.

最近的行动反映了一项更广泛的举措，旨在加强对加密货币交易所和相关服务的监管，由于它们可能被滥用于金融犯罪，因此受到越来越严格的审查。

Speaking of the UK regulator’s crackdown, Binance is still dealing with its legal saga with these regulators.

说到英国监管机构的打击行动，币安仍在处理与这些监管机构的法律纠纷。

Just recently, the crypto exchange revealed it is attempting to dismiss much of a £10 billion lawsuit in London, where it is accused alongside other platforms of removing Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) from their listings.

就在最近，该加密货币交易所透露，它正试图驳回在伦敦提起的价值 100 亿英镑的诉讼的大部分内容，该公司被指控与其他平台一起将比特币中本聪愿景 (BSV) 从其列表中删除。

The case, representing over 200,000 BSV owners, claims the exchanges participated in anti-competitive actions that significantly devalued the digital currency, potentially costing up to £9 billion in losses.

该案件代表超过 20 万 BSV 所有者，声称交易所参与了反竞争行动，导致数字货币大幅贬值，可能造成高达 90 亿英镑的损失。

Binance has contested specific aspects of the lawsuit but not its overall admittance under the UK’s collective action framework.

币安对诉讼的具体方面提出了质疑，但并未对英国集体行动框架下的整体承认提出异议。

Meanwhile, UK regulatory bodies are advancing their control over digital asset operations.

与此同时，英国监管机构正在加强对数字资产运营的控制。

The government recently announced its intention to introduce new digital currency regulations within six months, covering a wide range of activities from exchange operations to custodial services.

政府最近宣布打算在六个月内推出新的数字货币法规，涵盖从交易所业务到托管服务的广泛活动。

“This new framework will bring a range of crypto asset activities within the regulatory perimeter for the first time,” said the Economic Secretary.

经济部长表示：“这个新框架将首次将一系列加密资产活动纳入监管范围。”

“It will help ensure crypto assets are used for good, not for illicit activity.”

“这将有助于确保加密资产用于良好目的，而不是用于非法活动。”

In other related news, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is preparing to introduce a consultation for a licensing regime for digital asset firms and is considering equivalence measures for international companies.

在其他相关新闻中，金融行为监管局（FCA）正准备就数字资产公司的许可制度进行咨询，并正在考虑针对国际公司的等效措施。

This regulatory momentum is underscored by the FCA’s recent approval of the first set of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), a significant step in integrating digital assets into the UK’s financial infrastructure.

FCA 最近批准了第一套加密货币交易所交易产品（ETP），这凸显了这种监管势头，这是将数字资产整合到英国金融基础设施中的重要一步。
