美國 18 個州正在起訴美國證券交易委員會 (SEC)、其委員和 SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler)，聲稱該機構的加密貨幣監管執法過度且違反憲法。

Eighteen U.S. states are suing the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), its commissioners, and SEC Chair Gary Gensler over the agency's crypto regulation enforcement, which they claim is overreaching and unconstitutional.

美國 18 個州正在起訴美國證券交易委員會 (SEC)、其委員和 SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler)，指控該機構的加密貨幣監管執法過度且違憲。

The states allege that the SEC's regulatory actions impinge on their prerogatives to oversee local economic policy to the detriment of their economies.

各州聲稱，美國證券交易委員會的監管行動侵犯了它們監督當地經濟政策的特權，損害了它們的經濟。

This marks a significant escalation in tensions between federal regulators and state governments over digital asset regulations.

這標誌著聯邦監管機構和州政府之間圍繞數位資產監管的緊張關係顯著升級。

Citing the SEC's actions as being way beyond its authority, the states allege that the SEC has overstepped its boundaries.

各州稱 SEC 的行為遠遠超出了其權限，聲稱 SEC 已經越界。

They say the SEC's enforcement actions, which they claim were not authorized by Congress, disrupt economic activity and innovation within state borders.

他們表示，美國證券交易委員會的執法行動（他們聲稱這些行動未經國會授權）擾亂了州內的經濟活動和創新。

Those states, which include Ohio, Kentucky, Texas, and West Virginia, contend that these actions hinder the growth of the crypto industry, which many see as essential to future economic development.

這些州，包括俄亥俄州、肯塔基州、德克薩斯州和西維吉尼亞州，認為這些行為阻礙了加密產業的發展，而許多人認為加密產業對未來的經濟發展至關重要。

Moreover, state officials believe that federal securities laws applied to digital assets must be updated to serve the unique characteristics of the crypto market and that state-level regulations would better protect consumers.

此外，州官員認為，適用於數位資產的聯邦證券法必須更新，以適應加密貨幣市場的獨特特徵，州級法規將更好地保護消費者。

The lawsuit argues that states must be left to regulate the sector themselves.

該訴訟認為，必須由各州自行監管該行業。

The lawsuit comes amid growing criticism from the cryptocurrency sector, which views the SEC's regulatory approach as unclear.

該訴訟發生之際，加密貨幣行業的批評越來越多，該行業認為 SEC 的監管方式不明確。

Industry leaders have long been concerned that the SEC's ramped-up actions are stifling innovation and threatening the U.S.'s ability to remain at the forefront of global digital finance.

產業領導者長期以來一直擔心美國證券交易委員會加強的行動正在扼殺創新並威脅美國保持全球數位金融前沿的能力。

They say the SEC's actions are harming the industry and consumers. The plaintiffs allege that the SEC lacks clear crypto regulation guidelines in its approach to the business.

他們表示，美國證券交易委員會的行為正在損害產業和消費者的利益。原告聲稱，美國證券交易委員會在處理該業務時缺乏明確的加密貨幣監管指南。

Critics say the SEC has not yet issued a formal rule defining cryptocurrencies as a security, leaving a regulatory gray zone.

批評人士表示，美國證券交易委員會尚未發布將加密貨幣定義為證券的正式規則，留下了監管灰色地帶。

According to them, this lack of clarity burdens digital asset businesses, making them less innovative. Some of them are also moving to other countries with a more favorable climate.

他們表示，這種不明確性給數位資產企業帶來了負擔，降低了它們的創新能力。他們中的一些人也搬到了氣候較有利的其他國家。

The states push back against the SEC tactics, saying clear guidelines would help the industry and consumers.

各州對美國證券交易委員會的策略進行了反擊，並表示明確的指導方針將有助於產業和消費者。

The crypto industry has often highlighted the promotion of digital assets in economic terms, and the need for regulatory frameworks that support the crypto industry is emphasized in many ways.

加密產業經常強調數位資產在經濟方面的推廣，並從多方面強調支持加密產業的監管框架的必要性。

Thus, the lawsuit asks the federal authorities to clarify their positions and engage in discussions with state officials to have a more even-handed approach.

因此，訴訟要求聯邦當局澄清立場，並與州官員進行討論，以採取更公平的做法。
