Coinbase Clo Paul Grewal著手在參議院的關鍵聽證會上作證

參議院銀行委員會召集了這次聽證會，審查了監管機構故意限制加密貨幣的指控

Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer at Coinbase, is set to testify at a crucial Senate hearing centered around “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.” The Senate Banking Committee has convened this hearing to investigate allegations that regulatory agencies are deliberately limiting the access of crypto firms to banking services.

Coinbase首席法律官Paul Grewal將在以“ Chokepoint 2.0行動”為中心的重要參議院聽證會上作證。參議院銀行委員會召集了這次聽證會，以調查監管機構故意限制加密公司進入銀行服務的指控。

Grewal, a staunch advocate for transparent crypto regulations, is expected to speak out against what many in the industry view as unfair treatment.

格雷瓦爾（Grewal）是透明加密法規的堅定倡導者，有望反對行業中許多人認為不公平的待遇。

The hearing comes amid growing concerns over regulatory actions that are allegedly targeting cryptocurrency operations. Documents obtained earlier through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests showed that the FDIC might have instructed banks to limit their dealings with cryptocurrency-related businesses.

聽證會越來越多地關注據稱針對加密貨幣行動的監管行動。通過信息自由法（FOIA）請求獲得的文件表明，FDIC可能已指示銀行限制與加密貨幣相關企業的交易。

Detractors liken these actions to the controversial “Operation Chokepoint,” an earlier initiative that was accused of debanking legal yet politically disfavored businesses.

批評者將這些行動比喻為有爭議的“ Copepoint行動”，這是一項較早的倡議，被指控撤銷法律但政治上不利的企業。

Grewal will be joined by other industry executives, including Fred Thiel, CEO of MARA Holdings, who are expected to speak out against these alleged attempts to isolate crypto firms. Coinbase, for its part, has been vocal about the need for clear, upfront regulations, as opposed to what it sees as backdoor suppression tactics.

Grewal將與其他行業高管一起加入，包括Mara Holdings的首席執行官Fred Thiel，他們有望反對這些涉嫌隔離加密公司的企圖。就其本身而言，Coinbase一直在宣告需要清晰，前期法規，而不是將其視為後門抑制策略。

Coinbase’s Stance On Banking RestrictionsGre

Coinbase對銀行限制的立場

wlaw has frequently spoken out against what he perceives as unjust regulations in the cryptocurrency sector. According to Coinbase, these banking rules stifle innovation, restrict consumer options, and drive more crypto activity overseas.

WLAW經常反對他認為是加密貨幣部門不公正的法規。根據Coinbase的說法，這些銀行規則扼殺了創新，限制了消費者的選擇，並推動了更多的加密活動。

In his testimony, Grewal will likely highlight instances where regulatory agencies have pressured financial institutions to sever ties with crypto companies without providing a clear rationale.

在他的證詞中，格雷瓦爾可能會突出顯示監管機構向金融機構施加壓力，要求金融機構與加密貨幣公司斷開聯繫而沒有提供明確的理由。

Coinbase has repeatedly argued that the United States stands to lose out in the global crypto landscape due to its piecemeal approach to regulation.

Coinbase一再辯稱，由於其零碎的監管方法，美國將在全球加密貨幣景觀中輸掉。

Being one of the largest exchanges in the world, the exchange has had its fair share of encounters with regulators, including a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Grewal’s testimony will likely serve to further Coinbase’s advocacy for both fair and transparent regulatory treatment.

作為世界上最大的交易所之一，該交易所與監管機構（包括美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的訴訟）有相當大的相遇。 Grewal的證詞可能有助於進一步提倡公平和透明的監管治療。

Under Operation Choke Point 2.0, @FDICgov politically targeted American business and pressured banks to sever ties with entire industries like crypto.

在@Fdicgov的Choce Point 2.0的行動下，政治針對美國的業務，並向銀行施加壓力，要求與整個Crypto等整個行業建立聯繫。

The hearing could have major implications for the cryptocurrency industry in the United States. Lawmakers’ recognition of any regulatory overreach killing the sector could pave the way for fairer policies.

聽證會可能對美國的加密貨幣行業產生重大影響。立法者對任何監管過度殺害該部門的承認都可能為更公平的政策鋪平道路。

However, if the hearing largely concludes with more investigations but no significant actions, crypto companies may continue to face regulatory uncertainty and hurdles in banking access.

但是，如果聽證會在很大程度上以更多的調查結束，但沒有重大行動，則加密貨幣公司可能會繼續面臨銀行業訪問中的監管不確定性和障礙。

For now, the industry awaits Grewal’s testimony and the potential impact it may have on crypto in the U.S. moving forward.

目前，該行業正在等待Grewal的證詞及其對美國加密貨幣的潛在影響。
