CoolBitX：获融$16.7M 数字货币安全

【200225 Coindesk】The crypto wallet and security startup CoolBitX raised $ 16.7 million in a round led by Japanese financial group SBI Holdings, with participation from the National Development Fund of Taiwan, Korean crypto exchange BitSonic and Japanese financial firm Monex. In 2020, the startup's focus is on new products and features that comply with new rules from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) that require businesses to collect and pass information about customers when transferring funds between firms.

【谷歌翻译 未经校对】加密货币钱包和安全初创公司在由日本金融集团SBI Holdings领投的一轮融资中筹集了1,670万美元，台湾国家发展基金，韩国加密货币交易所BitSonic和日本金融公司Monex参与了此次融资。在2020年，这家初创公司的重点是符合金融行动特别工作组（FATF）的新规则的新产品和功能，这些新规则要求企业在公司之间转移资金时收集和传递有关客户的信息。

Several Asian countries, including Singapore, South Korea and Japan, swiftly responded to the token boom of 2017 with regulatory proposals and enforcement. As such, crypto companies in these regions must follow strict anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) procedures. CoolBitX CEO Michael Ou argued in a 2019 column that many countries in the region now have a more mature crypto industry than North America's.

包括新加坡，韩国和日本在内的几个亚洲国家迅速响应了2017年的代币热潮，并提出了监管建议和实施措施。因此，这些地区的加密公司必须遵循严格的反洗钱（AML）和了解您的客户（KYC）程序。 CoolBitX首席执行官Michael Ou在2019年的专栏文章中指出，该地区许多国家现在的加密产业比北美的更为成熟。

"We believed it was necessary to be ahead of the regulatory curve and have a solution in place in anticipation of stricter AML regulations from the South Korean government," said BitSonic CEO Jinwook Shin. "In the coming months, the South Korean government is expected to pass regulations that will change the country's cryptocurrency landscape and this investment [in CoolBitX] allows us to be on top of these regulations. "

BitSonic首席执行官Jinwook Shin表示：“我们认为有必要领先于监管曲线，并有解决方案，以期待韩国政府提出更严格的反洗钱法规。” “在未来的几个月中，预计韩国政府将通过法规，该法规将改变该国的加密货币格局，而对[CoolBitX]的这项投资将使我们处于这些法规之上。”

Underscoring that same point about professional exchange guidelines, Monex Group CEO Oki Matsumoto said in a press statement that as a cryptocurrency exchange owner he sees “huge potential in CoolBitX” to promote the “proper adoption of virtual assets” in a fair yet robust industry.

Monex集团首席执行官松本冲树（Oki Matsumoto）在一份新闻声明中强调了关于专业交易准则的这一观点，他表示，作为加密货币交易所所有者，他认为“ CoolBitX潜力巨大”，可以在公平而稳健的行业中促进“适当采用虚拟资产”。

"We continue to closely monitor regulatory developments around the world in order to roll out each product or service to as broad a market as possible," said CoolBitX international manager Elsa Madrolle, an alum of derivatives exchange CME Group. "Our plans are ultimately to expand globally. "

芝加哥商品交易所（CME Group）的衍生产品交易商CoolBitX国际经理Elsa Madrolle说：“我们将继续密切监视全球的法规发展，以便将每种产品或服务推向尽可能广泛的市场。” “我们的计划最终是向全球扩展。”

Madrolle added she expects cryptocurrency exchanges to soon have experiences that “resemble how people transfer money electronically using a digital bank.” Shin added his exchange is working with CoolBitX to “demonstrate our commitment to compliance and willingness to work hand-in-hand with the government. "

Madrolle补充说，她希望加密货币交易所很快就会拥有“类似于人们使用数字银行电子转账的方式”的经验。 Shin补充说，他的交易所正在与CoolBitX合作，以“证明我们对合规性的承诺以及与政府携手合作的意愿。 ”

If Asian markets offer a harbinger of industry norms, then future fiat on-ramps and cryptocurrency custody products will fall in line with digital banking norms. Madrolle said it's too soon to know how such regulations will impact the startup's hardware wallet, but she doesn't ' t expect future features to hinder or inconvenience retail users.

如果亚洲市场提供了行业规范的预兆，那么未来的法定坡道和加密货币托管产品将与数字银行规范保持一致。 Madrolle说，现在知道这类法规将如何影响初创公司的硬件钱包还为时过早，但是她并不期望未来的功能会阻碍或给零售用户带来不便。

"FATF-compliant regulation should help draw attention to cryptocurrency as a valid asset class and create more comfort for bigger institutions to consider investing," she said.

她说：“符合FATF的法规应有助于吸引人们将加密货币视为一种有效的资产类别，并为更大的机构考虑投资创造更多便利。”
