唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）新鮮鑄造的加密諮詢委員會的席位已成為首都最受歡迎的位置。

A seat on Donald Trump’s freshly minted crypto advisory council has become the most sought-after position in the capital. According to the New York Post, industry titans and major donors are battling it out to land one of the roughly two dozen seats — and the decisions this council makes will likely reverberate throughout the digital asset ecosystem for years to come, dictating everything from classification and regulation to the direction of U.S. innovation in blockchain technology.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）新鮮鑄造的加密諮詢委員會的席位已成為首都最受歡迎的位置。據《紐約郵報》報導，行業巨人和主要捐助者正在與大約二十二個席位之一作鬥爭- 該理事會做出的決定可能會在未來幾年內迴盪在整個數字資產生態系統中，這決定了分類和從分類和對美國在區塊鏈技術中創新的方向的規定。

Why Ripple’s Garlinghouse Is Leading the Pack

為什麼Ripple的Garlinghouse領先

Among the many industry heavyweights jostling for the spotlight, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, has reportedly surged to the front. Credible sources say his meeting with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago last month catapulted him to the top of the list, sparking a wave of speculation about his imminent role in the new administration.

據報導，Ripple的首席執行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）在眾多行業重量級人物中爭奪聚光燈。可靠的消息人士稱，他上個月與特朗普總統在瑪拉·拉戈（Mar-A-Lago）的會面使他晉升為榜首，引發了關於他在新政府中即將發揮的作用的一波猜測。

This development is also emblematic of Ripple’s growing policy presence. Once seen as a scrappy upstart pushing cross-border payments, Ripple now stands as a leading advocate in Washington, DC, for regulatory clarity around digital assets — clarity it didn’t get in the previous administration. If Garlinghouse is indeed tapped for the council, his influence could shape the conversation around cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, including whether tokens like XRP fall under the purview of the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

這一發展也像徵著Ripple不斷增長的政策存在。 Ripple曾經被視為推動跨境支付的艱難的新興賽，現在是華盛頓特區的領先倡導者，因為圍繞數字資產的監管清晰度 - 在上一個政府中並沒有得到清晰的信息。如果確實為理事會攻擊了Garlinghouse，他的影響力可能會影響圍繞加密貨幣和穩定的對話，包括XRP這樣的令牌是SEC的權限還是商品期貨交易委員會（CFTC）。

Even more crucially from the perspective of XRP investors, Garlinghouse would have an influence on the make-up of the proposed American National Digital Asset Stockpile. It makes sense that Ripple, as a U.S. company, would have its native cryptocurrency XRP included, but Garlinghouse’s involvement would make it a near certainty.

從XRP投資者的角度來看，更重要的是，加林豪斯將影響擬議的美國國家數字資產庫存的構成。作為一家美國公司的Ripple將包含其本地加密貨幣XRP，但Garlinghouse的參與將使之幾乎確定，這是有道理的。

Garlinghouse isn’t the only one making headlines. NYP Sources list former Kraken general counsel Marco Santori; Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire (who generously donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee); Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong; and Crypto.com’s Kris Marszalek as prime contenders.

Garlinghouse並不是唯一一個成為頭條新聞的人。 NYP消息來源列出了前Kraken總法律顧問Marco Santori； Circle首席執行官Jeremy Allaire（向特朗普的就職委員會捐款100萬美元）； Coinbase首席執行官Brian Armstrong； Crypto.com的Kris Marszalek是主要的競爭者。

Trump’s Executive Order and the Man in Charge

特朗普的行政命令和負責人

Shortly after being sworn in, President Trump established the advisory board via executive order, signaling a sharp pivot from the previous administration’s stance on digital assets. The council’s mission? To champion innovation in blockchain and cryptocurrencies, an ecosystem many in the crypto community felt was “harassed” under the Biden era. It’s not just a symbolic group, either — these advisors will work in lockstep with newly appointed AI & Crypto Czar David Sacks, a venture capitalist who’s helped craft key executive orders from the Oval Office since day one.

宣誓就職後不久，特朗普總統通過行政命令建立了顧問委員會，這表明了上一個政府對數字資產的立場的尖銳樞紐。理事會的任務？為了倡導區塊鍊和加密貨幣的創新，在拜登時代，加密貨幣社區中許多人認為許多生態系統被“騷擾”。這不僅是一個像徵性的團體，這些顧問將與新任命的AI＆Crypto Czar David Sacks一起工作，後者是一名風險投資家，他從第一天起就幫助製作了橢圓形辦公室的主要執行命令。

Sacks’ portfolio extends beyond just crypto; he’s also leading the national charge into AI and next-generation tech. But for digital asset enthusiasts, his role in shaping how the U.S. defines and regulates crypto is the real headliner. By the end of Trump’s second term, the council’s decisions on whether various tokens are considered commodities or securities will likely define the regulatory “rules of the road” for decades.

薩克斯的投資組合超越了加密貨幣。他還將國家指控帶入AI和下一代技術。但是對於數字資產愛好者來說，他在塑造美國如何定義和調節加密貨幣方面的作用是真正的頭條新聞。到特朗普第二任期結束時，理事會關於各種代幣是否被視為商品還是證券的決定可能會在數十年中定義“道路規則”的決定。

From stablecoins and central bank digital currencies to the possibility of an America-first strategic crypto reserve, the Trump White House appears eager to differentiate itself from the regulatory uncertainty of the past. Already, President Trump has tapped pro-crypto figures like Paul Atkins as SEC Chair, and there’s even talk of prioritizing homegrown digital coins like Solana, USD Coin, and of course, Ripple’s XRP.

從Stablecoins和Central Bank數字貨幣到美國首次戰略加密保護區的可能性，特朗普白宮似乎渴望將自己與過去的監管不確定性區分開來。特朗普總統已經將保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）等親克萊托普（Pro-Crypto）人物擔任SEC主席，甚至還有關於優先考慮本土數字硬幣，例如Solana，USD硬幣，當然還有Ripple的XRP。

According to the Feb. 6 announcement, TMTG’s move will provide investors with alternatives to what it describes as “woke funds” and financial institutions that engage in “debanking.” Devin Nunes, TMTG’s chairman and former Republican congressman, said that the initiative is focused on backing American industry.

根據2月6日的宣布，TMTG的舉動將為投資者提供所稱的“喚醒基金”和從事“撤銷”的金融機構的替代方案。 TMTG董事長兼前共和黨國會議員Devin Nunes表示，該倡議專注於支持美國工業。

Shaping Crypto’s Destiny

塑造加密貨幣的命運

Ultimately, this advisory board is poised to become one of the most influential bodies in the crypto landscape. The White House council has the White House megaphone, direct access to the president, and, perhaps most importantly, the ability to bring digital assets into the mainstream conversation on Capitol Hill. For those on the outside, failing to secure a seat could mean marginalization during a pivotal time when the rules for crypto are finally being drafted.

最終，該顧問委員會有望成為加密景觀中最具影響力的機構之一。白宮理事會擁有白宮的擴音器，直接與總統訪問，也許最重要的是，將數字資產帶入國會山主流對話的能力。對於那些在外部的人來說，未能確保席位可能意味著在關鍵時期的關鍵時期，最終起草了加密貨幣的規則。

For now, Brad Garlinghouse appears poised to gain that influence. But it wouldn’t be Washington, DC if there weren’t a twist or two coming. As nominations roll out,

目前，布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）似乎準備好獲得這種影響。但這不是華盛頓特區，如果沒有一兩個扭曲，就不會是華盛頓特區。隨著提名的推出，
