美国法院重新审理针对 Binance.US 的 HEX 操纵案

美国上诉法院部分推翻了之前驳回针对 Binance.US 的集体诉讼的裁决。该诉讼指控加密货币交易所非法操纵 HEX 代币的价格。

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.

美国上诉法院部分推翻了之前驳回针对 Binance.US 的集体诉讼的裁决。该诉讼指控加密货币交易所非法操纵 HEX 代币的价格。

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.

第九巡回法院的三名法官组成的陪审团于 8 月 12 日裁定，原告 Ryan Cox 对 Binance.US 和 CoinMarketCap 提出了有效的索赔。该小组不同意地区法院先前的驳回裁决，该裁决认为 Cox 未能在亚利桑那州的具体行动与 Binance.US 之间建立足够的联系。

Appeals Court Upholds Claims

上诉法院维持原判

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 最初于 2021 年提起集体诉讼。他声称币安资本管理公司和 Binance.US 人为限制了 HEX 代币在 CoinMarketCap 上的排名。 CoinMarketCap 是币安旗下的加密货币价格跟踪平台。

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，这种操纵导致 HEX 的交易价格低于排名较高的币安自己的加密货币。

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.

地区法院于 2023 年 2 月驳回了诉讼。法官得出的结论是，Cox 未能证明 Binance.US 的活动与亚利桑那州涉嫌操纵 HEX 之间存在具体联系。

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，第九巡回法庭小组发现，地方法院关于在 Binance.US 和亚利桑那州之间建立“足够的最低限度联系”的要求是不正确的。上诉法院表示，地区法院对被告拥有属人管辖权，因为他们与美国广大地区有重要联系。

HEX Token Value Plummets

HEX 代币价值暴跌

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.

专家组的意见指出，Binance.US 和 CoinMarketCap 由于在美国注册成立或主要营业地点在美国，因此与美国有足够的联系。这满足属人管辖权的正当程序要求。

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.

上诉法院还裁定 Cox 针对 Binance.US 的价格操纵指控有效。该案已发回进一步法律程序。

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 代币由 Richard Heart 于 2019 年 12 月推出。 2023 年 7 月 31 日，SEC 对 Heart 提起诉讼，指控其违反联邦证券法并诈骗投资者至少 1210 万美元。 SEC 指控 Heart 使用投资者资金购买个人奢侈品，包括 555 克拉的钻石、昂贵的手表和高端汽车。

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 代币的交易价格为 0.004 美元，较 2021 年 9 月的历史高点 0.51 美元下跌了 99% 以上。
