Chris Giancarlo，又名“加密爸爸”，是成為美國歷史上第一位“加密貨幣沙皇”的有力競爭者

這位前公務員因在兩年任期內致力於推進明確的法規而被稱為“加密貨幣之父”

Former Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Chris Giancarlo, who is known as “Crypto Dad” due to his work in advancing clear regulations during his two-year tenure, is a serious contender to become the first-ever U.S. "Crypto Czar."

前商品期貨交易委員會主席克里斯·吉安卡洛（Chris Giancarlo）因其在兩年任期內推動明確監管的工作而被稱為“加密貨幣之父”，是成為美國有史以來第一位“加密貨幣沙皇」的有力競爭者。

The new position is being weighed by President-elect Donald Trump, who has promised to make the United States the "crypto capital of the world."

當選總統唐納德·川普正在權衡這一新立場，他承諾讓美國成為「世界加密貨幣之都」。

Giancarlo, who is a key member of the Trump transition team, told The Block in an interview on Wednesday that he has already turned down positions running the CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission.

川普過渡團隊的關鍵成員吉安卡洛在周三接受 The Block 採訪時表示，他已經拒絕了商品期貨交易委員會和證券交易委員會的職位。

“Trump has been very specific in laying out a series of initiatives to make the United States the crypto capital of the world,” said Giancarlo, referring to a July speech the once and future president made at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.

Giancarlo 表示：「川普非常具體地制定了一系列舉措，使美國成為世界加密貨幣之都。」他指的是這位曾經的未來總統7 月在納許維爾舉行的比特幣2024 年會議上發表的演講。

This includes “creating a strategic reserve of bitcoin to creating a Crypto Council to guaranteeing people's ability to have self-hosted wallets,” Giancarlo said. “In other areas he's talked about a capital gains exemption for gains on U.S. domestic cryptos. He's talked about ending the debanking of crypto — sometimes called Choke Point 2.0 — and the a passage of new rules and regulations out of the CFTC and the SEC as well as stablecoin legislation.”

Giancarlo 表示，這包括「創建比特幣戰略儲備，創建加密委員會，以確保人們擁有自託管錢包的能力」。 「在其他領域，他談到了美國國內加密貨幣收益的資本利得豁免。他談到了結束加密貨幣的去銀行化——有時被稱為“Choke Point 2.0”——以及美國商品期貨交易委員會和美國證券交易委員會通過的新規則和條例以及穩定幣立法。

Giancarlo added that crypto will be a “considerable priority” for the incoming administration. Although a former crypto skeptic, Trump cozied up to industry players over the past year while seeking reelection and has made a number of promises to improve the outlook for the crypto industry in the U.S.

Giancarlo 補充說，加密貨幣將成為即將上任的政府的「相當大的優先事項」。儘管川普曾經是一名加密貨幣懷疑論者，但他在過去一年裡在尋求連任時與行業參與者討好，並做出了許多改善美國加密行業前景的承諾

“As candidates go, they're often not very specific. I think Trump was remarkably specific about what he would do,” said Giancarlo, noting that the real estate magnate has surrounded himself with pro-crypto advocates like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

「作為候選人，他們往往不是很具體。我認為川普對於他要做什麼非常具體。支持加密貨幣的支持者。

“The amount of attention and campaign contributions the crypto industry contributed this cycle is quite remarkable, and probably dispositive in a number of races,” Giancarlo said. “The fact that contributors like Fairshake [the pro-crypto SuperPAC backed by entities like Coinbase] have dry powder left over could contribute to the next cycle and will result in responsive policy.”

Giancarlo 表示：“加密貨幣行業在這個週期中所貢獻的關注度和競選貢獻是相當顯著的，並且可能在許多比賽中發揮決定性作用。” 「Fairshake（由 Coinbase 等實體支持的支援加密貨幣的 SuperPAC）等貢獻者留下的乾粉可能會為下一個週期做出貢獻，並將導致政策的回應。”

Indeed, a cohort of industry leaders strongly favored Trump’s reelection. In one instance, at least 18 donors gave more than $5.5 million in various tokens to the Trump 47 joint fundraising committee mere days before Election Day.

事實上，一群產業領袖強烈支持川普連任。其中一個例子是，就在選舉日前幾天，至少 18 名捐助者向川普 47 聯合籌款委員會捐贈了超過 550 萬美元的各種代幣。

To some extent, Trump is already making good on his word to support crypto — perhaps partly because of his familial connections to blockchain projects like the decentralized lending protocol World Liberty Financial. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has reportedly met with the incoming president to help shape his crypto platform.

在某種程度上，川普已經兌現了他支持加密貨幣的承諾——也許部分原因是他與去中心化借貸協議 World Liberty Financial 等區塊鏈項目的家族關係。據報道，Coinbase 執行長 Brian Armstrong 已與即將上任的總統會面，以幫助塑造他的加密平台。

Giancarlo said there’s an “existing gap right now” in crypto regulation, particularly in the spot market trading of the two largest cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and ether. He noted that he supported efforts by Senator Debbie Stabenow, chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, to give the CFTC authority over digital commodities markets.

Giancarlo 表示，加密貨幣監管“目前存在差距”，特別是在兩種最大的加密貨幣比特幣和以太坊的現貨市場交易中。他指出，他支持參議院農業委員會主席、參議員黛比·斯塔貝諾 (Debbie Stabenow) 為賦予商品期貨交易委員會管理數位商品市場的權力所做的努力。

“The CFTC has overseen more new product launches than almost any regulator in the world and certainly more than the SEC,” Giancarlo said. “The CFTC is a very capable and competent regulator and can handle that spot authority.”

「CFTC 監管的新產品發布數量幾乎超過了世界上任何監管機構，當然也超過了 SEC，」Giancarlo 表示。 “美國商品期貨交易委員會是一個非常有能力和稱職的監管機構，可以處理現貨授權。”

He added that the current SEC administration had dropped the ball on regulating crypto and that Chairman Gary Gensler should have “followed our example” of the CFTC actively engaging with the industry when Giancarlo was in charge. Giancarlo took over Gensler in leading the CFTC in 2018 and said he had to “clean up” his predecessor’s mess.

他補充說，現任 SEC 政府在監管加密貨幣方面失敗了，主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 應該“效仿我們的榜樣”，在吉安卡洛 (Giancarlo) 負責時，CFTC 積極參與該行業。 Giancarlo 於 2018 年接替 Gensler 領導 CFTC，並表示他必須「清理」前任留下的爛攤子。

“Gensler's unwillingness to engage with crypto has actually kept it at a less mature phase of its development,” Giancarlo said. “Ending the suppression is going to bring it to a more mature and more useful period of development.”

Giancarlo 表示：“Gensler 不願意涉足加密貨幣領域，實際上使其處於不太成熟的發展階段。” “結束壓制將使其進入更成熟、更有用的發展時期。”

He rebutted Gensler’s claims that current securities rules should apply to crypto projects and companies. Giancarlo said there was a missed opportunity to create “procedures and policies tailored to crypto.”

他反駁了 Gensler 的主張，即當前的證券規則應適用於加密項目和公司。 Giancarlo 表示，錯失了製定「針對加密貨幣的程序和政策」的機會。

“I've heard over and over again: 'same activity, same rules,’” said Giancarlo. “But that's actually not the way the SEC operates. There are different rules for municipal securities than there are for corporate debt. There are different rules for debt securities than there are for equity securities. There are different rules for private placements than there are for public offerings. The SEC has a long tradition of having tailored regulations.”

「我一遍又一遍地聽到：『同樣的活動，同樣的規則，』」吉安卡洛說。 「但這實際上不是 SEC 的運作方式。市政證券的規則與公司債務的規則不同。債務證券的規則與股本證券的規則不同。私募配售的規則與公開發行的規則不同。 SEC 有著制定量身定制法規的悠久傳統。

Apart from that, Gensler has also dramatically reduced the agency’s standing among the American public and federal court system through its “overreach on enforcement actions and litigation.” This includes when it was sanctioned for lying during a case it brought against a Utah-based crypto firm.

除此之外，詹斯勒還透過“過度執法行動和訴訟”，大大降低了該機構在美國公共和聯邦法院系統中的地位。這包括它在針對猶他州一家加密貨幣公司提起的訴訟中因撒謊而受到製裁。

“That did tremendous damage to the morale of the agency of earnest and hardworking federal employees who are embarrassed to be associated with an agency that would cut corners in order just to win cases

「這對該機構的士氣造成了極大的打擊，因為聯邦僱員都是認真勤奮的，他們很尷尬與一個為了贏得案件而走捷徑的機構有聯繫。
