On Monday, Bitcoinist reported that President-elect Donald Trump was scheduled to have a private meeting with Brian Armstrong, the CEO of US-based crypto exchange Coinbase, expected to influence the landscape of cryptocurrency regulation in the United States.

週一，Bitcoinist 報道稱，當選總統唐納德·川普計劃與美國加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 執行長 Brian Armstrong 舉行私人會議，預計這將影響美國加密貨幣監管格局。

Fortune confirmed on Tuesday that the discussion took place over a phone call, not a private meeting as originally reported. During the call, Armstrong, whose company has invested nearly $50 million in supporting pro-crypto candidates – including Trump – discussed broader issues surrounding crypto rather than specific appointments.

《財富》雜誌週二證實，討論是透過電話進行的，而不是最初報導的私人會議。阿姆斯壯的公司已投資近 5000 萬美元來支持包括川普在內的支持加密貨幣的候選人，在電話會議上，阿姆斯壯討論了有關加密貨幣的更廣泛問題，而不是具體的任命。

There are also unverified reports circulating on social media that another prominent figure in the space, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, has had direct access to Trump. However, Ripple’s spokesperson has stated that the company does not discuss private conversations.

社群媒體上還有未經證實的報導稱，該領域的另一位知名人物、Ripple Labs 執行長 Brad Garlinghouse 曾直接接觸過川普。不過，Ripple 發言人表示，該公司不討論私人對話。

According to sources familiar with the Trump-Armstrong call, the crypto industry is primarily focused on potential appointments to lead two key financial regulatory agencies: the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

據熟悉川普與阿姆斯壯通話的消息人士透露，加密貨幣行業主要關注的是領導兩個關鍵金融監管機構的潛在任命：證券交易委員會（SEC）和商品期貨交易委員會（CFTC）。

“The SEC is where all the damage is being carried out,” said the source, whom Fortune identified as a prominent figure in Washington, D.C., referring to the numerous lawsuits brought by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.

「所有損害都是由美國證券交易委員會造成的，」《財星》雜誌將其視為華盛頓特區的知名人士，他指的是美國證券交易委員會主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler) 提起的眾多訴訟。

With Gensler expected to leave by the end of the year, there is uncertainty regarding whether the agency will promptly dismiss many cases not directly related to fraud. The source indicated that an interim chair might be less inclined to take such action.

由於詹斯勒預計將於今年底離職，因此該機構是否會立即駁回許多與詐欺不直接相關的案件存在不確定性。消息人士表示，臨時主席可能不太願意採取此類行動。

The CFTC could see an expanded role in overseeing digital assets if legislative changes occur that transfer some of the SEC’s regulatory powers to the commodities regulator.

如果立法發生變化，將 SEC 的部分監管權力轉移給大宗商品監管機構，CFTC 可能會在數位資產監管方面發揮更大的作用。

According to Fortune, among the potential candidates to lead the CFTC are Summer Mersinger, a current commissioner, and Josh Sterling, a lawyer at Milbank who has frequently represented cases in the industry.

根據《財富》雜誌報道，CFTC 主席的潛在候選人包括現任委員薩默·梅辛格(Summer Mersinger) 和經常代理該行業案件的米爾班克(Milbank) 律師喬什·斯特林(Josh Sterling) 。
