详细解读中国证监会查处老虎,富途和长桥案件 — — 这次重点的红线是什么?对个人的影响是什么?? 想必小伙伴们都知道今天中国证监会处罚了老虎,富途和长桥三家券商公司,但处罚的主要原因是什么,咱们细致的讲一讲。 这次的处罚证监会一共出了三篇文章,我都截图了,分别是: 1. 证监会严肃查处老虎等机构非法跨境展业案件 2. 中国证监会等八部门联合印发《综合整治非法跨境证券期货基金经营活动实施方案》 3. 中国证监会有关部门负责人就《综合整治非法跨境证券期货基金经营活动实施方案》答记者问 最首先的定性是: “老虎、富途、长桥境内外相关主体未经核准,未取得经营证券经纪业务许可、经营证券融资融券业务许可,在境内开展证券交易营销推广、处理交易指令等相关证券业务服务并获取相关收益,构成非法经营证券业务。 此外,三家机构境内外相关主体还构成非法从事公募基金销售业务、非法从事期货经纪业务。” 看上去说的是这三家没有牌照就在中国境内开展了业务,这三家在海外虽然都有牌照,但中国境内没有,这是最基本的原罪。 因为从中国监管视角看,交易虽然发生在境外市场,比如港股、美股,但客户在境内,营销在境内,开户引导在境内,交易指令从境内发起,资金也涉及境内居民跨境流动,那就不是简单的境外券商服务境外客户,而是未持中国牌照在中国境内开展证券业务。 如果仅仅是因为牌照,那就想的简单了,最根本的原因还是“跨境资金流动”。 这次证监会发布的政治方案中,有三个明确的要点: 1. 整治对象包括非法跨境经营证券期货基金业务的境外机构、协助境外机构非法跨境经营的境内关联或合作主体、招揽境内投资者的非法中介、违法违规发布信息的互联网平台及网络自媒体等。 2. 取缔非法跨境经营活动的措施为禁止境外机构在境内开展证券期货基金业务相关营销招揽活动、提供相关开户、处理交易指令、资金划转等交易服务。 3. 清理非法存量业务的措施为设置2年集中整治期,集中整治期内,禁止境外机构为存量投资者在境内非法提供买入交易、转入资金等服务,只允许单向卖出交易并转出资金。 这三点再次明确了主题“未经批准的居民资金出境投资通道”。 到这里,就有了非常清晰的脉络,这次整治表面是非法跨境展业,本质是切断未经批准的境内居民境外投资通道,尤其是切断新增资金继续流向境外券商账户。 说人话,就是打击通过境外投资的境内资金出海。 这就意味着中国开始系统性关闭“境外牌照 + 境内获客 + App交易 + 跨境资金流”的资金通道。 这就再次说明,哪怕你是有国际上的牌照,但只要你招揽中国用户作为客户,就需要有中国的牌照,没有中国的牌照就是非法的。 更关键的是,这是资本项目管制、金融牌照监管、数据监管、反洗钱监管、互联网平台监管的一次合流。如果只是证券业务违规,证监会一家就够了,但这次是证监会、央行、外汇局、公安、网信、市场监管、金融监管总局等八部门一起做,说明监管对象已经不是简单的“无牌证券经纪”,而是一个绕开境内金融监管体系的跨境资金入口。 所以说,即便是有牌照,但如果认定了是协助境内资金出海,仍然会受到处罚,牌照是硬性要求,但并不是唯一要求。 当然境内投资者买美股、港股这件事本身没有被完全否定,但必须被导入官方认可的通道。比如 QDII、基金互认、互联互通、合格境内外机构安排,或者未来其他监管认可的跨境投资渠道。 那么肯定会有小伙伴问,现在在嘉信,盈透或者是 BIT 这样的券商买卖美股或者港股是不是违法的? 从目前公布的文件来看,这次打击的主体是券商,而个人并这次整治的主要处罚对象,或者说如果个人只是通过券商去买卖股票,并不涉及到任何的整治或处罚。 所以作为投资者的个人目前是安全的,并不会有任何的处罚措施。但“招揽、指导境内投资者开户并牟利的境内非法中介”在这次是处罚的范围之内。 虽然我估计大家也不在意,但事实确实是,如果你还在中国境内,然后推广海外的券商,指导中国境内的投资者开户,买卖美股,那么确实是属于违法的。 目前证监会定义的,能追究到个人的,属于是违法的有一下三条: 1. 个人继续做导流、开户链接、教程、社群指导、收佣金、返佣,这就可能被认定为非法中介。 2. 个人协助别人入金、换汇、拆分购汇、代持、代转账,这就不只是证券问题,还可能涉及外汇、反洗钱。 3. 个人用虚假用途购汇、规避额度、资金来源解释不清、逃税,那处罚依据不是这次证券整治本身,而是外汇、税务、反洗钱规则。 以上这三条都是会直接追究到个人的,当然从执法来看,并不是说你发了一条推广就会被抓起来,应该是如果牵扯到某些案件或某些人,这很容易变成连带责任,而且如果有人去举报,那么大概率会有风险。 最后总结一下: 中国正在把居民跨境投资纳入国家金融管理种。以前是用户只要能下载 App、完成 KYC、绑定银行卡、换汇入金,就可以绕开本国金融市场的产品供给约束。现在监管要重新认定只要实质上服务中国境内居民,就不能用境外牌照规避中国牌照、外汇、数据、反洗钱和投资者保护规则。 这对加密货币、RWA、代币化股票、Pre-IPO 、境外结构化产品也都有参考意义。未来问题不只是在海外有没有牌照,是不是足够合规,而变成了有没有面向中国境内用户营销、开户、提供交易入口、处理资金路径、提供中文客服、通过 KOL 导流。 只要这些路径在中国境内,就有可能被按非法跨境金融活动处理。













AI正在重塑美国的电力版图,昨天AI电力领域的大新闻就是NextEraEnergy宣布以670亿美元收购DominionEnergy,创下美国历史上最大的公用事业并购纪录。这两家都是什么公司?为什么要花这么大代价? Dominion弗吉尼亚最主要的电力供应商。那里正是美国数据中心最密集的区域之一,被业内称为“Data Center Alley”,数据中心走廊。这里集中了全球密度最高的数据中心群,AWS、微软、谷歌、Meta 的大量服务器,就藏在这片看起来平平无奇的土地上。据估计,全球约 70% 的互联网流量每天都要经过这里。 Dominion已经连接了几百个数据中心,数据中心用电占它弗吉尼亚电力销售的比例很高。同时Dominion手里握着超过51GW的数据中心合同需求——51 GW,这是个什么概念?大约相当于 50 座大型核电站的装机容量,而且这个数字还在持续增长。 NextEra本身又是美国最大的风能和太阳能发电商有发电、储能、输电和新能源开发能力。这就是NextEra愿意掏出670亿美元的核心原因,不是为了买一家传统电力公司,而是为了买下 AI 时代最稀缺的资源——接近算力核心的「供电权」。 这次收购 Dominion,不只是简单的规模扩张。相当于把 NextEra 的清洁能源和储能能力,叠加到 Dominion 在数据中心走廊的市场地位上,这才是这笔交易真正的战略价值所在。 电力行业的逻辑也在发生变化,谁控制数据中心最缺电区域的接入权、输配电权、发电开发权和监管关系,谁就能享受最大的估值溢价。 而前两天5 月 16 日,一份来自 Monitoring Analytics 的报告揭示,美国最大电力市场 PJM Interconnection 的电价出现「不可逆转」的大幅上涨,涨幅高达 76%。PJM 覆盖的区域包括弗吉尼亚、马里兰、宾夕法尼亚等超过十个州,恰好是 AI 基础设施最密集的区域之一。 这样意味着电力紧缺也是越来明显,特别是马上进入夏季用电能源消耗的高峰。其实可以关注下电力领域的。 AI数据中心的竞争,已经从芯片、服务器,打到了电力资产。谁能拿到稳定电力,谁就能更快把数据中心建起来。 谁有电网、储能、并网和现场供电能力,谁就会被重新定价。


Worst case outcome is that it fails, and tech progress keeps going with all the other companies, moving forward slightly more slowly (which for most of history would be bad, but for AGI, miltech and a couple other sectors is totally ok or even good) Best case outcome is that a company that's strongly Good, in a way legible to an existing community's principles, is better able to get that community's support (and even grow it), and so it gets a form of labor and marketing that is just fundamentally hard to obtain by buying it Arguably some AI companies already did the did the latter with effective altruism, and my best effort at understanding why that was insufficient is vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/1… (basically, consequentialism is vulnerable to being corrupted in some important ways)

Some of my perspective on where the @ethereumfndn is going. First of all, this is only my own view. The board is not just me, and I have no extra special powers on the board that the other board members do not. @aerugoettinea is the one executing much of this transition. My input has been largely on technical questions. The board is in the process of expanding, and my own power within the org will continue to decrease, which is honestly what I want. The 2025 era brought many important improvements to EF and its ability to execute. Many issues were resolved, and EF continues to benefit from its improved efficiency and greater focus on concrete goals to this day. And so with those problems resolved, early this year, the largest remaining hole that I perceived was something different nagging at me: I would regularly spot people saying things like "vitalik says these beautiful things about ethereum needing to be decentralized, and have privacy, and be a sanctuary technology, but why do the EF's actions not reflect that?" Now, you may have been hearing something different. You may not have been sensing a feeling of crisis at all, and maybe were hearing people saying that finally we were taking execution and BD seriously and the main task for us is to keep going that way and be even better and faster. Then probably there is genuine difference between you and me, in what kinds of criticism I take most seriously, and what kinds of critics through their criticism are most able to make me feel pain. As an analogy, let's briefly switch over to a different domain. One belief you can have about Google is that it is a success story, and has brought a lot of good to humanity in organizing the world's information. Another belief you can have about Google is that they had a beautiful idealistic beginning, but at some point the corruption of mainstream corporate attitudes seeped in, and they slowly bit by bit completely abandoned the "don't be evil" slogan. My belief on Google specifically is probably somewhere between the two. BUT, if you had taken me back in time to ~2008, and offered me a button to press to make Google one or two standard deviations more "dogmatic", eg. give Richard Stallman permanent veto power over some key policies, I would immediately press it. Why? Because a choice for one company is not a choice for the world, or even one country. Google existed and exists in the context of a technology industry generally drifting away from early idealistic don't-be-evil roots and toward greed for financial gain, totalizing visions of accelerated superintelligence, infiltration by sociopaths, and craven capitulation to (or worse, active participation in) government pressure for ideological control, surveillance and war. And so *one company* doing something different, positioning itself to be what George Bernard Shaw calls the Unreasonable Man, resisting the trend of the times, would have been better for freedom, balance of power and stability of society as a whole, than *all* large companies bending to dominant trends. This is a part of my version of pluralism. This line of thinking is not just mine, but I also is not too far off from what Aya and others had in mind with the Mandate. Now how does this all get to the role of the EF? EF is not a "center of Ethereum", rather EF is "one node, with a defined purpose, alongside other nodes". We've always said that the EF should be the latter, but many in the Ethereum ecosystem (and even within the EF) wanted us to be the former. Now, we are taking action to ensure that we will be the latter. This is particularly important because EF is a limited organization, with limited resources and limited organizational capacity. The EF has only ~0.16% of all ETH (less than many other individual ETH holders), whereas among other blockchains it's common for "the central foundation" to have 10-50%. Fiscally, the EF was originally designed to fulfill a limited work scope defined in the token sale docs and other pre-launch materials (building the chain software; getting through Frontier, Homestead, Metropolis, Serenity), which was fully completed in 2022; it was not designed to be an eternal steward. And so today, the EF is choosing to use its remaining resources to pursue longevity over breadth (yes, this means we sell less ETH). The EF focuses *specifically* on those activities critical to the success of ethereum as a censorship/capture-resistant, open, private and secure system, that would not happen otherwise. This means making hard choices, and in some cases even activities that we highly approve of and people that we highly respect becoming outside of the EF. People of great technical talent, public respect and even alignment with the mission and CROPS being outside of the EF is in fact necessary if we want important tasks to be able to attract outside capital. This also means the EF taking opinionated stands culturally. This is all intended in cooperation with all other parts of ethereum. We recognize that many other parts of the ethereum world highly respect CROPS and related values. But highly respecting is not the same as choosing to specialize and totally dedicate to a domain (Compare in a different domain: I think reducing animal cruelty is important, and I like vegan food, but am not full unconditional vegan myself) EF is still in a transition period, and we expect its new long-term form to stabilize over the next few months. What are the guiding principles of this new form? Again, I am only one person, but I can give my answer from a technical perspective (there are also critical non-technical aspects). At the core, *Ethereum must be impressive*. We are living in an age of highly intelligent AI and all kinds of other technological acceleration. "Status quo EVM, with a hard fork or two a year to optimize for short-term needs of users" is not interesting. To some, "impressive" means: 250ms latency and 1M TPS. I think Ethereum trying to go that route is a mistake. Being as fast and as scalable as possible, and only a small epsilon more decentralized than the others, is a route to mediocrity, and if we try it we will lose. I think Ethereum should scale. But I think Ethereum should strive the hardest to be deeply impressive in a different dimension: the CROPS dimension. This means things like: * Provably bug-free Ethereum. This is a goal that all cybersecurity researchers would have thought is absurd and impossible, up until roughly 6 months ago. Now, it's on the cusp of being possible, thanks to AI-assisted formal verification. So we should be frontrunners in doing this. * Available chain consensus. Ethereum is, and with lean consensus will cotninue to be, the ONLY chain that has both (i) traditional-BFT style properties that it's safe under asynchrony up to a high level of fault tolerance, and (ii) the bitcoin PoW-style property that under synchrony it's safe up to 49% attackers. As far as I can tell, literally no other chain has this or is planning for it; bitcoin goes for (ii) only and most other chains go for (i) only. Some will remember I fought hard for this, Unreasonably insisting that it is not OK for ethereum to rely on social consensus and hard forks to rescue ethereum from 34% of nodes going offline. It's OK for chains like hyperledger, bnb, solana, tempo, etc. It's not OK for bitcoin or ethereum or eg. zcash. * Intermediary minimization. The fact that smart contract wallets, protocols like railgun, etc have to send transactions through intermediaries to get included onchain is honestly embarrassing, and it's a constant point of fragility. Hence the work on FOCIL and EIP-8141 (and 7701 and years of work before) to make transaction sending intermediary-minimized with public mempool and strong inclusion properties, in a truly general-purpose way, that covers not just eg. secp256r1, but also privacy protocols and much more. Kohaku is pushing intermediary minimization at the user layer, pulling Ethereum away from the dystopian status quo world where our wallets don't even verify the chain, send our private data out to a dozen third-party servers, and toward a brighter CROPS future. Some of these goals are Unreasonable - maybe Ethereum would be "fine" getting only 50% of the way - what if we depend on intermediaries, but make it easy to switch? But going 50% of the way would not make Ethereum Deeply Impressive in the CROPS way. So we push for 100%. Fortunately all these goals are compatible with high TPS, this is a major focus of research (esp. on scaling the state). Well-designed L2s can also help, especially L2s optimized for specific applications (eg. high-volume trading, privacy...). These goals are even compatible with significantly lower slot times, thanks to Raul's work on erasure-coded P2P, and many other optimizations. The most high-value "product" of the ethereum blockchain, financially speaking, is ETH the asset. Ethereum secures $250 billion of ETH. The types of properties of Ethereum that I mentioned above are very good for ETH the asset. Nearly 90% of my net worth is in ETH, and most of the remainder is ~$40m of onchain fiat of which every dollar has already been allocated for some open-source biotech or software or hardware initiative. That said, there are aspects of supporting ETH the asset - *necessary* aspects even - that are outside the scope of the EF. This is where we need other heroes (some of whom hold more ETH than the EF does) to step in and help. EF has been recently thinking more about how it will relate to other such organizations, and give them needed initial support. EF will be a smaller ship than in previous years, a more opinionated one - in some cases more opinionated in ways that might be difficult to comprehend - but a longer-lasting one, and one suited to making sure that ethereum brings something meaningful to the world. We are grateful to all those inside and outside the EF who are helping to make this happen.
