BitMEX宣布將於 9 月 23 日停止營運後,隨即在美國遭遇一宗擬議集體訴訟。原告稱,該平台在用戶部位被強制平倉後扣留抵押品,並要求返還合計 622.66 枚比特幣,按文中口徑約合 4,070 萬美元。

原告稱損失總計622.66枚比特幣

這起訴訟由 BKX Services 和 David Namdar 提交至美國紐約南區聯邦地區法院。起訴資料顯示,BKX Services 稱因強平損失至少 305.81 枚比特幣,Namdar 稱損失超過 316.85 枚比特幣,兩者合計 622.66 枚比特幣。

原告希望代表自 2018 年 7 月 23 日以來購買 BitMEX 比特幣掉期產品的美國用戶提起集體訴訟,並尋求返還比特幣、補償性賠償和懲罰性賠償。不過,這案仍需法官先行裁定,才能依集體訴訟推進。

訴狀指向強平機制和內部交易台

訴狀稱,BitMEX及其聯合創始人 Arthur Hayes、Ben Delo 和 Samuel Reed 設計了一套機制,在用戶被強平後保留客戶抵押品,並將剩餘比特幣轉入平台保險基金。

原告還稱,BitMEX 曾允許交易者以最高 100 倍槓桿開倉,而在部分部位被平倉時,相關抵押品價值仍大致相當於虧損額的兩倍,但平台並未返還餘額。

此外,訴狀還指控 BitMEX 內部交易台在伺服器凍結期間可以繼續交易,並可接觸用戶私密交易訊息,而其他用戶當時無法平倉。被告名單除 BitMEX 母公司 HDR Global Trading 外,還包括多家關聯實體及三名共同創辦人。

停運時間與訴訟同步出現

這起案件提交時間為 7 月 23 日,與 BitMEX 宣布停駛的時間重疊。 BitMEX 表示,平台將在 9 月 23 日結束運營,至此結束其 11 年的加密衍生品交易所歷史。

報告提到,類似指控曾出現在 2020 年的一宗集體訴訟中,但該案已於 2025 年 6 月結案,法院當時並未就強平爭議作出裁定。

BitMEX此次停駛前已出現管理層調整。其母公司 HDR 在完成策略評估後決定關閉業務。上個月,BitMEX 執行長、財務長和成長負責人相繼離任,原總法律顧問 Peter Wilkinson 接任執行長。
