比特币SV（BSV）投资者针对Binance的集体诉讼被驳回

英国上诉法院驳回了比特币SV（BSV）投资者针对Binance提起的133亿美元集体诉讼中的大多数。

The Court of Appeal in the UK has dismissed most of a $13.3 billion class action suit filed by Bitcoin SV (BSV) investors against Binance. The lawsuit, which was filed by BSV Claims Limited, claimed that Binance and other major exchanges engaged in an illegal agreement to delisted BSV from their exchanges in 2019.

英国上诉法院驳回了比特币SV（BSV）投资者对Binance提出的133亿美元集体诉讼诉讼中的大多数。该诉讼是由BSV索赔有限公司提起的，声称Binance和其他主要交易所进行了非法协议，以使BSV在2019年从其交流中脱颖而出。

According to the lawsuit, the move to delist BSV was part of a broader conspiracy to enrich themselves at the expense of BSV investors, who were deprived of the opportunity to see BSV’s potential growth and market value be realized. However, in its May 21 ruling, the court sided with Binance, stating that the damages claimed by BSV investors were speculative and not supported by legal principles.

根据诉讼，向Delist BSV的举动是一个更广泛的阴谋，以牺牲BSV投资者为代价，而BSV投资者则被剥夺了看到BSV的潜在增长和市场价值的机会。但是，在5月21日的裁决中，法院支持Binance，并指出，BSV投资者所要求的损害是投机性的，没有法律原则的支持。

The panel of judges, led by Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls, found that the so-called “foregone growth effect” theory, which suggests that BSV would have reached price levels comparable to Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash, could not stand. The ruling also noted that investing in BSV as a tradable asset allowed investors to mitigate their losses after it was removed from exchanges.

由劳斯莱斯大师杰弗里·沃斯（Geoffrey Vos）领导的法官小组发现，所谓的“置换增长效应”理论表明，BSV将达到与比特币或比特币现金相当的价格水平，无法忍受。该裁决还指出，投资BSV作为可交易资产，允许投资者从交易所中删除损失后减轻损失。

The prosecuting team showed that BSV investors viewed Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash as alternatives, further weakening the claim that BSV was irreplaceable or unique.

起诉小组表明，BSV投资者将比特币和比特币现金视为替代品，进一步削弱了BSV不可替代或独特的说法。

Sir Geoffrey Vos wrote, “They cannot recover losses that they could reasonably have mitigated. The law required the claimants to take reasonable steps to reduce their losses when the asset remained tradeable on other platforms.”

杰弗里·沃斯爵士（Geoffrey Vos）爵士写道：“他们无法收回能够合理减轻的损失。法律要求索赔人采取合理的步骤，以减少资产在其他平台上可交易时减少损失。”

The court’s approval of the “market mitigation rule” makes investors responsible for acting prudently in the open market. If you had BSV at its delisting, designated as “sub-class B”, the judgment meant you had to sell or swap it for other cryptocurrencies to avoid further losses.

法院对“缓解市场规则”的批准使投资者负责在公开市场上谨慎行事。如果您将BSV的推荐给了“子级B”，则判决意味着您必须将其出售或换成其他加密货币，以避免进一步的损失。

The ruling also stated that damages should be assessed shortly after the delisting to measure the BSV value at the time. This aligns with the ruling on the class action claims against food manufacturers over the "generation factor" in a 2021 case.

该裁决还指出，损害赔偿应在脱落后不久评估，以衡量当时的BSV值。这与2021年的“生成因素”对集体诉讼的裁决一致。

The appeal discussed the “loss of a chance” argument, where some claimed they would have potential gains if BSV hadn't been delisted. The judges deemed this opinion incorrect, highlighting that cryptocurrencies' volatility and the uncertainty of future market movements made such damages impossible to quantify.

上诉讨论了“失去机会”的论点，其中一些人声称，如果BSV没有被淘汰，他们将获得潜在的收益。法官认为这一观点是不正确的，强调了加密货币的波动性和未来市场变动的不确定性，因此无法量化这种损害。

The court added that the damages should be based on facts instead of speculative scenarios. This aligns with a 2006 case concerning a missed airline flight, where the court emphasized the need for damages to be based on real events and not unquantifiable possibilities.

法院补充说，损害应基于事实而不是投机性情况。这与2006年的案件有关，该案件涉及一架错过的航空航班，法院强调需要基于真实事件而不是无法量化的可能性的损害赔偿。

Consequently, the court limited the lawsuit’s scope and eliminated most of the class action’s demands for financial loss. This decision lessens the legal burden on Binance and other exchanges, such as Kraken and ShapeShift, which faced similar claims.

因此，法院限制了诉讼的范围，并消除了集体诉讼对财务损失的大多数要求。这一决定减少了面临类似主张的Braken和ShapeShift等义务和其他交流的法律负担。

However, smaller claims from investors who couldn't access their BSV after its delisting or who sold their holdings despite suffering a loss can still be pursued. These claims, brought by members of "sub-class A" and "sub-class C", respectively, will proceed.

但是，投资者的较小索赔仍无法访问BSV，但仍可以追求损失的损失。这些主张分别由“子类A”和“子类C”的成员提出。

The court stressed that any compensation awarded in these cases would be limited to the actual value lost, not speculative future gains. This aligns with a 2013 case concerning a deceased partner's pension rights, where the court ruled that damages should be based on the value of the asset at the time of loss.

法院强调，在这些情况下授予的任何赔偿都将仅限于损失的实际价值，而不是投机性的未来收益。这与2013年有关死者合伙人的养老金权利的案件保持一致，法院裁定损害应基于损失时资产的价值。

The BSV Investors lawsuit is among several high-profile cases facing Binance in global jurisdictions. In a separate legal matter, Binance recently filed a motion to dismiss a $1.76 billion lawsuit from the FTX estate, arguing that internal fraud at FTX caused its collapse.

BSV投资者的诉讼是全球司法管辖区均值的几项备受瞩目的案件之一。在另一项法律事务中，Binance最近提出了一项动议，驳回了FTX遗产的17.6亿美元诉讼，认为FTX的内部欺诈导致其崩溃。

This decision by the Court of Appeal has significant implications for the cryptocurrency industry and could influence pending class action suits against major exchanges.

上诉法院的这一决定对加密货币行业产生了重大影响，并可能影响尚待集体诉讼对重大交易所的诉讼。

As the court states, investors must actively manage their holdings, especially when assets remain tradeable. It also clarifies that the courts are not prepared to pay damages based on speculative price projections or uncertain future events.

正如法院所说，投资者必须积极管理其持股，尤其是当资产保持可交易时。它还澄清说，法院不准备根据投机价格预测或不确定未来事件赔偿赔偿。
