Gemini 和其他加密货币平台因合规挑战退出加拿大

Gemini 的退出反映出越来越多的去中心化平台因合规挑战而放弃加拿大。

Gemini crypto exchange users in Canada will have their accounts closed by the end of 2024, following the company’s decision to leave the market.

在该公司决定退出市场后，加拿大的 Gemini 加密货币交易所用户的账户将在 2024 年底前被关闭。

The move comes after Canada’s new crypto regulations, which require exchanges to complete a pre-registration declaration to continue operating in the country.

此举是在加拿大颁布新的加密货币法规之后做出的，该法规要求交易所完成预注册声明才能继续在该国运营。

Exchanges must also obtain CSA approval to offer stablecoins to Canadian customers. Several major crypto exchanges have left the market due to the strict regulations.

交易所还必须获得 CSA 批准才能向加拿大客户提供稳定币。由于严格的监管，几家主要的加密货币交易所已经退出市场。

Gemini had initially agreed to the rules and registered its pre-registration in April 2023. However, despite expressing its commitment to its Canadian operations, the company has now decided to fully withdraw from the market.

Gemini 最初同意这些规则，并于 2023 年 4 月进行了预注册。然而，尽管表达了对其加拿大业务的承诺，但该公司现已决定全面退出市场。

Most Gemini accounts in Canada will be closed by December 31, 2024, according to the company. Canadian users have been advised by Gemini to withdraw their assets within 90 days, and they will receive further instructions from the exchange.

该公司表示，加拿大的大多数 Gemini 账户将于 2024 年 12 月 31 日之前关闭。 Gemini已建议加拿大用户在90天内提取资产，他们将收到交易所的进一步指示。

Gemini’s exit from Canada is part of a broader trend of decentralized platforms leaving the country due to challenges in complying with the new regulations.

Gemini 退出加拿大是去中心化平台因遵守新法规面临挑战而离开加拿大的更广泛趋势的一部分。

Some companies initially submitted pre-registration forms but later changed their stance after reviewing the new regulations. Binance announced in May 2023 that it would be leaving the Canadian market after initially signaling its willingness to comply with the regulations.

一些公司最初提交了预注册表格，但在审查新规定后改变了立场。币安在最初表示愿意遵守法规后，于 2023 年 5 月宣布将退出加拿大市场。

Additionally, services from dYdX and Bybit in Canada have also ended their operations in the country. The CSA has been increasing its oversight to protect investors in response to the high-profile failures of crypto exchanges.

此外，加拿大的 dYdX 和 Bybit 服务也结束了在该国的运营。针对备受瞩目的加密货币交易所倒闭事件，CSA 一直在加强监管，以保护投资者。

As a result, exchanges operating in the country face several restrictions, including limits on the use of stablecoins.

因此，在该国运营的交易所面临多项限制，包括稳定币的使用限制。

The CSA implemented these policies following the collapse of major crypto platforms such as FTX and Celsius Network. The regulator aims to ensure that Canadian investors are protected and to prevent further financial failures. As a consequence, several exchanges have opted to move their operations out of the country.

CSA 在 FTX 和摄氏度网络等主要加密平台崩溃后实施了这些政策。该监管机构旨在确保加拿大投资者受到保护并防止进一步的金融失败。因此，一些交易所选择将业务迁出该国。

Ohio Pushes for Cryptocurrency in Tax Payments

俄亥俄州推动加密货币纳税

While Canada is tightening its regulations on cryptocurrency, Ohio is making efforts to adopt it.

虽然加拿大正在加强对加密货币的监管，但俄亥俄州正在努力采用它。

Ohio State Senator Niraj Antani introduced a bill on September 30 that would allow the state to accept cryptocurrency for tax and fee payments. State agencies and pension funds would also be permitted to invest in cryptocurrency under the bill.

俄亥俄州参议员 Niraj Antani 于 9 月 30 日提出了一项法案，允许该州接受加密货币支付税款和费用。根据该法案，国家机构和养老基金也将被允许投资加密货币。

Each year, the Ohio tax commissioner will specify the cryptocurrencies that can be used in these transactions, according to the proposed law. The bill defines cryptocurrency as any digital asset that is decentralized, has its own blockchain, and is used as a medium of exchange, but it does not include a central bank digital currency.

每年，俄亥俄州税务专员都会根据拟议的法律指定可在这些交易中使用的加密货币。该法案将加密货币定义为任何去中心化的、拥有自己的区块链、并用作交换媒介的数字资产，但不包括央行数字货币。

Entities in the state may impose a service charge to process crypto transactions, as specified in the bill, to encourage the adoption of digital assets. Ohio previously attempted to allow cryptocurrency for tax payments in 2018, but the effort was blocked.

根据法案的规定，该州的实体可能会对处理加密交易收取服务费，以鼓励采用数字资产。俄亥俄州此前曾在 2018 年尝试允许使用加密货币纳税，但这一努力遭到阻止。

Ohio has renewed its attempts to integrate and oversee cryptocurrency in its regulations. These proposals include additional measures to protect the state’s crypto mining industry and to exclude CBDCs from state monetary regulations.

俄亥俄州再次尝试在其法规中整合和监督加密货币。这些提案包括保护该州加密货币挖矿业并将 CBDC 排除在州货币监管之外的额外措施。
