路透援引法院文件报道,英国金融行为监管局(FCA)正与加密交易平台 HTX 就一宗违法推广案磋商和解。伦敦高等法院已将案件程序暂停至 8 月下旬,以便双方继续谈判。

案件聚焦英国推广行为

FCA 去年 10 月提起这起诉讼。这是英国针对加密交易平台营销行为采取的首类执法行动之一。监管方寻求法院发布禁令,并请求确认被告违反了《金融服务与市场法》第 21 条。

诉讼对象覆盖平台控制方

起诉文件列出的被告包括 2023 年 5 月在巴拿马注册的 Huobi Global S.A.,以及四类“身份未明人士”。这些对象涵盖 htx.com 的所有者或控制者、用户协议中所称的“HTX 运营方”、平台社交账号运营者,以及 2028 年 10 月 31 日前接手上述角色的任何人。

法院文件显示,HTX 的用户协议将运营方定义为“运行平台的所有各方”,但未点名具体实体,并保留随时变更的空间。报道提到,2022 年取得控制性权益的孙宇晨并未被列为被告。

FCA称英国用户仍可交易

FCA 在诉状中说明了其取证方式。一名监管人员使用英国 IP 地址,通过 HTX 的点对点服务购买加密资产,并在完成英国驾照身份验证后,交易了两个期货合约交易对。

监管方还指出,HTX 网站提供英文界面,接受英镑,并支持英国照片证件认证。与此同时,平台条款仅限制英国零售用户参与衍生品交易,但并未阻止其交易其他加密资产;实际操作中,相关用户也未被有效拦截在期货交易之外。

警示名单后仍陷诉讼

HTX 于 2023 年 10 月被列入 FCA 警示名单,当天正是英国加密推广新规生效之日。报道还称,HTX 未回应 FCA 于 2025 年 8 月发出的诉前函件。

此次和解谈判进行之际,HTX 还面临其他制裁压力。英国此前以涉嫌与俄罗斯制裁规避有关为由制裁 HTX 和孙宇晨,欧盟两个月后也在对俄措施中点名该交易所。不过,FCA 这起案件与制裁事项分开,焦点仅限于面向英国消费者的营销与推广行为。

Why has the unemployment rate in Canada risen to 6.7% when employment has barely changed?
In October, Canada saw a decrease of 4,700 in the number of employed people, which is virtually insignificant statistically, but the unemployment rate rose by 0.2 percentage points to 6.7%. In the same report, the construction and education services sectors added jobs, while wholesale and retail saw a noticeable decline; the public sector gained 50,000 employees, while the private sector lost 53,000. The labor force survey released by Statistics Canada on November 6 does not depict a simple "deterioration in employment," but rather a rebalancing driven by a combination of population changes, job-seeking behavior, and job structure.

Gemini Omni Turning Video Editing into Dialogue: Who Will Guard the Boundaries as the Barriers to Creation Lower?
Submit a selfie video to the model, and then command things like "make it ripple like a mirror-like liquid" or "turn the person into a puppet", or "retain the original room and actions". Tasks that used to require editors to complete layer by layer on the timeline can now be asked for continuously, just like editing copywriting. On November 5th, Google DeepMind released version Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash of the model, which is described as capable of generating high-resolution videos with sound from text, images, audio, and video inputs, and supports repeated editing through natural dialogue. The entry point for video production is shifting from software panels to language, but this also brings about issues related to editing traces, character permissions, and the credibility of the content.
