COINBASE提出FOIA請求以揭示SEC的加密戰爭費用

Coinbase尋求有關SEC加密戰爭成本的詳細信息

Coinbase has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to seek details on the regulatory agency’s spending on cryptocurrency-related enforcement actions during the Biden Administration.

Coinbase已向證券交易委員會（SEC）提出了一項信息自由法（FOIA）請求，以尋求有關監管機構在拜登政府期間與加密貨幣相關的執行措施支出的詳細信息。

Coinbase Asks SEC For Details On Crypto War Cost

Coinbase向SEC詢問有關加密戰爭成本的詳細信息

On Monday, Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer (CLO), announced that the company had submitted a FOIA request to the SEC asking how much the regulatory agency had spent on crypto-related enforcement actions. Per the post, the crypto exchange requested information on how much money the SEC’s “regulation by enforcement” approach cost “in taxpayer dollars.”

週一，Coinbase首席法律官（CLO）保羅·格雷瓦爾（Paul Grewal）宣布，該公司已向SEC提交了FOIA請求，詢問監管機構在與加密貨幣相關的執行措施上花費了多少。根據帖子，加密貨幣交易所要求提供有關SEC的“執法法規”方法“納稅人美元”的資金的信息。

After reviewing several of the SEC’s publicly available Congressional reports, including the Fiscal Year 2025 Congressional Budget Justification (CBJ) and Fiscal Year 2023 Annual Performance Report (APR), Coinbase is seeking the supporting documentation used to create the current and past annual reports.

在審查了SEC公開可用的國會報告，包括2025財年國會預算依據（CBJ）和2023財年2023年年度績效報告（APR），Coinbase正在尋求用於創建當前和過去年度報告的支持文件。

In the X post, Grewal tagged the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and explained that the company is seeking answers to the number and cost of crypto-related investigations and enforcement actions brought between April 17, 2021, and January 20, 2025.

在X職位上，格雷瓦爾（Grewal）標記了美國政府效率部（DOGE），並解釋說，該公司正在尋找與加密相關的調查的數量和成本的答案，並在2021年4月17日至2025年1月20日提起的與加密相關的調查和執法措施。

Coinbase has also asked for the number of employees and third-party contractors who worked on these investigations and enforcement actions. Additionally, the company wants to “know more about the previous SEC’s infamous ‘Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit’ within the Enforcement Division.”

Coinbase還要求從事這些調查和執法行動的員工和第三方承包商人數。此外，該公司希望“更多地了解執法部門內部臭名昭著的“加密資產和網絡單位”。”

It’s worth noting that the Commission’s special crypto enforcement unit has reportedly undergone significant changes since the new administration took office. As Bitcoinist reported, some sources close to the matter told The New York Times that the regulatory agency was scaling back the special enforcement division by reassigning its members to other SEC departments.

值得注意的是，據報導，自新政府上任以來，該委員會的特別加密執法部門已經發生了重大變化。正如比特幣主義者報導的那樣，接近此事的一些消息人士告訴《紐約時報》，監管機構正在通過將其成員重新分配給其他SEC部門，從而縮減了特別執法部門。

The special unit, created in 2017 during the first Trump administration, comprised lawyers and staff dedicated to bringing industry-related enforcement actions. Under Gary Gensler’s supervision, the crypto enforcement unit expanded significantly, nearly doubling to 50 dedicated positions in May 2022. During the Biden administration, the unit reportedly brought over 100 crypto-related actions.

該特別部門成立於2017年在第一個特朗普政府期間，由律師和員工組成，致力於採取與行業相關的執法行動。在加里·蓋斯勒（Gary Gensler）的監督下，加密執法部門大大擴展，在2022年5月，幾乎翻了一番，達到50個專用職位。據報導，該部門帶來了100多個與加密貨幣相關的行動。

Getting The ‘Full Picture’ May Take Time

獲取“全圖”可能需要時間

Following Gensler’s departure from the SEC and under the new crypto-friendly administration, the Commission has taken steps to change its heavily criticized approach and be more welcoming to the industry.

在Gensler離開SEC並在新的加密友好政府的領導下離開後，該委員會採取了措施改變其嚴重批評的方法，並更加歡迎該行業。

On January 21, the U.S. agency launched the Crypto Task Force, led by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, to develop a clear and comprehensive regulatory framework. Since then, the Commission has dismissed several key crypto litigations and closed many investigations on crypto firms without taking any enforcement actions.

1月21日，美國機構成立了由SEC專員Hester Peirce領導的加密特遣部隊，以開發一個清晰而全面的監管框架。從那以後，委員會駁回了幾項關鍵的加密訴訟，並在沒有採取任何執行措施的情況下關閉了對加密貨幣公司的許多調查。

Last week, the SEC officially dropped its lawsuit against Coinbase after announcing its plan to dismiss the case on February 21. At the time, the company’s leadership called the development a victory “not just for Coinbase, but for its customers, the United States, and individual freedom.”

上週，SEC在宣布2月21日駁回此案的計劃後，正式撤銷了針對Coinbase的訴訟。當時，該公司的領導層稱該開發項目為“不僅是Coinbase，而且對其客戶，美國，美國和個人自由”。

Grewal called for clear crypto legislation to prevent “rogue attacks” and noted that the SEC is being held accountable for the previous enforcement cases driven by political leadership.

格雷瓦爾（Grewal）呼籲制定明確的加密立法，以防止“流氓襲擊”，並指出，SEC對以前由政治領導人驅動的執法案件負責。

On his recent X thread, Coinbase’s CLO concluded that “it may take time to get the full picture” of the SEC’s “war on crypto.” He promised customers and the crypto community to “never stop fighting for government transparency,” and to “do what it takes for as long as it takes” to unveil the truth.

在他最近的X線程中，Coinbase的CLO得出結論，“可能需要一些時間來獲取SEC的“加密戰爭”。他向客戶和加密貨幣社區保證，“永遠不要停止為政府透明度而戰”，並“只要需要做的事情要做的事情”才能揭示真相。
