Robinhood 同意收购加拿大加密公司 WonderFi 后,加拿大国内出现要求监管层阻止交易的声音。WonderFi 创始人 Karia Samaroo 在《财富》撰文称,把公司卖给美国买家并不是一时选择,而是加拿大商业环境长期作用下的结果。

文章认为,阻止这笔交易并不能解决更深层的问题。加拿大当然希望保留更多本土科技公司,但前提是让企业在拿下本土市场后,仍有继续融资、扩张和走向国际市场的空间。

WonderFi称已在加拿大做到头部

Samaroo 表示,WonderFi 成立于 2021 年,随后通过整合本地人才、技术和平台,完成了对加拿大分散加密市场的整合。公司在 Quadriga 倒闭、FTX 崩盘以及本地监管收紧后仍继续运营,并在 2023 年取得加拿大市场领先地位。

但他强调,拿下加拿大市场从来不是终点。对 WonderFi 来说,更现实的全球扩张路径,是借助 Robinhood 的平台和资源。Robinhood 也将 WonderFi 视为进入加拿大市场的入口,并以 2.5 亿加元完成收购。

文章将问题指向融资与政策环境

Samaroo 认为,加拿大并不缺创新口号,真正的问题在于企业成长上限过低。创业者面临的阻力包括商业投资偏弱、成长资本不足、公开市场承接能力下降、监管分散,以及承担风险后的回报不够有吸引力。

他将加拿大与美国、英国和新加坡作比较,称这些地区在税收、资本利得优惠和本地投资激励方面更积极。相比之下,加拿大更多是零散的扶持项目和咨询程序,但同时伴随更高税负、资本稀缺和政策推进缓慢。在本土市场规模本就有限的情况下,这进一步压低了企业扩张意愿。

加密公司承受更重监管成本

在加密行业层面,Samaroo 认为加拿大在 Quadriga 事件后建立了全球最严格的监管体系之一。虽然当时的收紧有其背景,但结果是加拿大成为最难建立可持续加密业务的市场之一。

他提到,多家国际交易平台曾进入加拿大市场,但最终选择退出,包括 Binance、OKX、Bybit 和 Gemini。除加密监管本身较重外,加拿大证券监管体系长期分散,也推高了融资和合规成本,并削弱了投资者意愿。

文章还把 WonderFi 的出售放在更广泛的加拿大企业路径中观察。Nuvei、Verafin、Magnet Forensics 和 Sierra Wireless 等公司,都曾在本土做大后转向海外资本或战略买家。Samaroo 认为,如果加拿大希望更多企业保持独立,本质上需要改善融资、扩张和全球竞争条件,而不是在交易达成后再讨论是否阻止出售。
