Magic Eden 为美国用户创建单独的域名，引发加密货币社区的不满

Magic Eden 是不可替代代币 (NFT) 市场的知名参与者，最近宣布决定为美国用户创建专用域名。

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.

领先的非同质化代币 (NFT) 市场 Magic Eden 宣布为美国用户创建一个单独的域名，此举是由于该国境内日益增加的监管压力所致。

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）上发布的简短帖子表示，做出这一决定是为了确保符合美国监管环境，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）最近介入了 NFT 市场。

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.

根据新的结构，Magic Eden 的美国用户将被定向到一个单独的域，而该平台托管在 .io 域上的国际网站将继续推出新功能和创新。

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.

鉴于 SEC 对其他 NFT 市场（包括最近收到监管机构 Wells 通知的 OpenSea）的调查，许多人认为这一转变是一种预防措施。

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.

尽管该平台为保持领先于监管曲线而做出的努力可能被视为一项战略举措，但这一决定并未得到加密货币社区的普遍热情。

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.

消息公布后，一些社区成员在社交媒体上表达了他们的不满，引发了人们对这个美国特定域名可能对美国用户造成的限制的担忧。

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.

用户表达的主要担忧之一是，美国居民可能会错过空投等功能，而空投是 NFT 领域常见且利润丰厚的方面。

“Step Towards Centralization”

“迈向集中化”

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.

一些批评者还认为，这种划分造成了不平等的竞争环境，美国用户无法享受到国际用户提供的全套服务。

“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.

“这感觉像是朝着集中化迈出了一步，看到 Magic Eden 这样的平台朝这个方向发展令人失望，”一位用户写道。

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.”

另一位用户插话道：“限制美国用户充分参与 NFT 市场实际上切断了许多人的主要收入来源。”

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 宣布通过 Magic Eden 基金会推出 ME 代币，作为该平台增强跨链交易和促进去中心化应用程序 (DApp) 开发的努力的一部分。

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).

随着平台转变为去中心化自治组织（DAO），ME 代币预计还将在平台未来的治理中发挥关键作用。

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).

与此同时，更广泛的 NFT 市场也面临着自身的挑战。就在最近，一枚曾经价值 2320 万美元的 CryptoPunk NFT 以 80% 的折扣价以 1,500 ETH（约合 390 万美元）的价格出售。

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 的价格购买了 NFT，但决定分道扬镳，而新买家 VOMBATUS 则将这次购买形容为“免费”获得 NFT，因为价格急剧下跌。
