SEC創建加密特遣部隊來詳細說明新的監管議程

在喬·拜登（Joe Biden）總統政府任職的前美國證券交易委員會主席加里·貢斯勒（Gary Gensler）已暫時取代了SEC專員Mark Uyeda

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, has created a Crypto Task Force with a page on its website detailing the agency’s new crypto regulatory agenda under its current leadership in President Donald Trump’s second administration.

美國證券交易委員會SEC在其網站上的頁面上創建了一個加密貨幣工作組，詳細介紹了該機構在唐納德·特朗普總統第二屆政府中的現任領導下的新加密監管議程。

Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler who served in President Joe Biden’s government has been temporarily replaced by SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda, a Republican, who will serve as the agency’s acting chair until President Trump installs a permanent chair.

在喬·拜登（Joe Biden）總統政府任職的前SEC主席加里·貢斯勒（Gary Gensler）暫時取代了共和黨的SEC專員馬克·烏耶達（Mark Uyeda），他將擔任該機構的代理主席，直到特朗普總統擔任常任主席為止。

An American attorney and government official, Uyeda has served as a Commissioner of the SEC since June 30, 2022. He is the first Asian Pacific American to serve as an SEC Commissioner. Earlier, Uyeda served on the staff of the SEC for more than 15 years.

自2022年6月30日以來，UYEDA是美國律師和政府官員，一直擔任SEC的專員。他是第一位擔任SEC專員的亞裔美國人。早些時候，Uyeda在SEC的工作人員任職超過15年。

As SEC chairman, President Trump has nominated Paul Atkins, an American businessman who served on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2002 to 2008. Since then, Atkins has worked as the CEO of his consulting firm, Patomak Global Partners. Its clients include banks, crypto companies and securities markets participants, and Atkins is known as a crypt-backer.

作為SEC主席，特朗普總統提名了美國商人保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins），他是2002年至2008年在美國證券交易委員會任職的美國商人。從那時起，阿特金斯（ Atkins）擔任其諮詢公司Patomak Global Partners的首席執行官。它的客戶包括銀行，加密公司和證券市場的參與者，而阿特金斯被稱為隱藏式支持者。

While Republicans are supportive of the nomination, Senate Democrats have issues with Atkins’ private ventures into cryptocurrency.

儘管共和黨人支持提名，但參議院民主黨人與阿特金斯（Atkins）的私人企業涉及加密貨幣有問題。

On December 04, 2024, the day on which President-elect Trump named Atkins to serve as the SEC Chair, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who is the now the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, issued a wary statement showing her strong interest in protecting consumers.

2024年12月4日，當天當選特朗普總統任命阿特金斯擔任SEC主席的那一天，美國參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren對保護消費者的興趣。

“The U.S. stock market is the envy of the world precisely because the SEC promotes safe and transparent markets that protect investors from getting cheated, so I’m concerned about putting at the helm of the SEC a Wall Street lobbyist whose main contribution during the last financial crisis was to protest fines against the giant corporations that defrauded investors,” Senator Warren said.

“美國股票市場之所以嫉妒世界，這是因為SEC促進了保護投資者免於被騙的安全透明市場，因此我擔心戴上SEC的掌舵人華爾街遊說者，其主要貢獻在上一位中的主要貢獻金融危機是為了抗議欺騙投資者的巨頭公司。”參議員沃倫說。

“I look forward to meeting with Paul Atkins to ask about his potential conflicts of interest and his commitment to serving the American people,” the senator said.

參議員說：“我期待與保羅·阿特金斯會面，詢問他的潛在利益衝突以及他對為美國人民服務的承諾。”

Atkins’ Senate hearing has yet to be scheduled. Meanwhile, SEC Commissioner Uyeda will lead the agency and SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce will lead the new Crypto Task Force.

阿特金斯的參議院聽證會尚未安排。同時，SEC專員UYEDA將領導該機構，SEC專員Hester Peirce將領導新的加密特遣工作隊。

“I look forward to the efforts of Commissioner Peirce to lead regulatory policy on crypto, which involves multiple SEC divisions and offices,” Acting Chairman Uyeda said.

代理主席Uyeda說：“我期待著Peirce專員為領導加密政策的努力，該政策涉及多個SEC部門和辦公室。”

“This undertaking will take time, patience, and much hard work. It will succeed only if the Task Force has input from a wide range of investors, industry participants, academics, and other interested parties. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with the public to foster a regulatory environment that protects investors, facilitates capital formation, fosters market integrity, and supports innovation,” Commissioner Peirce said.

“這項工作將需要時間，耐心和辛勤工作。只有在工作隊獲得了廣泛的投資者，行業參與者，學者和其他興趣方面的意見，它才能成功。我們期待與公眾攜手合作，以促進保護投資者，促進資本形成，促進市場誠信並支持創新的監管環境，” Peirce專員說。

The Task Force anticipates holding roundtables in the future, but in the meantime welcomes public input at Crypto@sec.gov.

該工作隊預計將來會持有圓桌會議，但同時歡迎公眾通過crypto@sec.gov進行公開意見。

The legal commenters at JD Supra say the crypto task force points to a move away from the SEC’s previous “enforcement-driven stance on cryptocurrency.”

JD Supra的法律評論者說，加密特遣部隊指出，偏離了SEC先前的“加密貨幣執行驅動的立場”。

Commissioner Peirce said in a statement that she “aims to address long-standing regulatory confusion that has plagued the crypto industry in recent memory. Under prior leadership, the SEC frequently pursued enforcement actions without providing clear guidelines, leaving crypto projects uncertain about compliance.”

皮爾斯專員在一份聲明中說，她“旨在解決困擾最近記憶中加密貨幣行業的長期監管混亂。在先前的領導下，SEC經常在沒有提供明確指導方針的情況下採取執法行動，使Crypto項目對合規性不確定。”

Peirce has been a critic of this approach, arguing that the SEC’s inconsistent treatment of crypto assets has stifled innovation and forced companies to operate in a legal gray area, or leave the United States altogether.

Peirce一直是對這種方法的批評，認為SEC對加密資產的不一致待遇已經扼殺了創新，並迫使公司在合法的灰色地區開展業務，或者完全離開美國。

Cryptocurrencies, such as the popular Bitcoin, are networks built on the blockchain, a financial ledger formatted in a sequence of individual blocks, each containing transaction data, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

根據馬薩諸塞州技術研究所的數據，加密貨幣（例如受歡迎的比特幣）是建立在區塊鏈上的網絡，該網絡是一種以一系列單獨的區塊進行格式化的財務分類帳，每個都包含交易數據。

These networks are decentralized, meaning there are no banks or organizations to manage funds and balances, so users join forces to store and verify the transactions.

這些網絡是分散的，這意味著沒有銀行或組織來管理資金和余額，因此用戶聯手存儲和驗證交易。

But, MIT warns, decentralization leads to a scalability problem. To join a cryptocurrency, new users must download and store all transaction data from hundreds of thousands of individual blocks. They must also store these data to use the service and help verify transactions. This makes the process slow or computationally impractical for some.

但是，麻省理工學院警告說，權力下放會導致一個可伸縮性問題。要加入加密貨幣，新用戶必須從數十萬個單獨的塊中下載並存儲所有交易數據。他們還必須存儲這些數據以使用該服務並幫助驗證交易。這使得該過程對於某些人來說是緩慢或計算上不切實際的。

“First,” Peirce explained in a February 4 statement entitled, “The Journey Begins,” that “despite now being charged with leading the SEC’s new Crypto Task Force, the views that I express are my own as a Commissioner and not necessarily those of the SEC or my fellow Commissioners. Commission positions always require a vote of the Commission.”

“首先，”皮爾斯在2月4日的一份題為“旅程開始”的聲明中解釋說：“儘管現在被指控領導SEC新的加密特遣部隊，但我表達的觀點是我自己的專員，而不一定是那些專員SEC或我的專員。委員會職位始終需要委員會的投票。”

“It took us a long time to get into this mess, and it is going to take us some time to get out of it,” Peirce warned. “The Commission has engaged with the crypto industry in one form or another for more than a decade. The first bitcoin exchange

皮爾斯警告說：“我們花了很長時間才陷入困境，這將花費我們一些時間才能擺脫困境。” “十多年來，委員會以一種或另一種形式與加密貨幣行業互動。第一個比特幣交換
