加密貨幣社區慶祝川普就職，結束四年的“恐怖”

正如一位著名投資者向NYNext 描述的那樣，在拜登政府多年的監管“騷擾”之後，加密貨幣社區正在慶祝唐納德·特朗普的就職，作為四年“恐怖”的結束，並預示著旨在使加密貨幣合法化的重大政策逆轉。

After years of regulatory “harassment” under the Biden administration — as one notable investor described it to NYNext — the cryptocurrency community is celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration as the end to a four-year “terror,” and heralding significant policy reversal aimed at legitimizing the industry.

正如一位著名投資者向NYNext 描述的那樣，在拜登政府多年的監管“騷擾”之後，加密貨幣社區正在慶祝唐納德·特朗普的就職，作為四年“恐怖”的結束，並預示著旨在使加密貨幣合法化的重大政策逆轉。

This shift is marked by the appointment of crypto-friendly officials like David Sacks as AI and crypto czar and the nomination of Paul Atkins for SEC Chair, plus the promise of day-one executive orders that will create a Bitcoin reserve and end debanking.

這項轉變的標誌是任命大衛·薩克斯（David Sacks）等對加密貨幣友好的官員擔任人工智慧和加密貨幣沙皇，並提名保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）擔任美國證券交易委員會（SEC）主席，並承諾在第一天發布行政命令，創建比特幣儲備並結束銀行業務。

“The entire market is relieved … we have a seismic shift in the approach and tone of the government and regulatory agencies,” Frank Chaparro, an early Bitcoin investor and director of special projects at crypto news site The Block, said. “What this means practically is, banks will be able to touch crypto — for the last four years they’ve been told they can’t.”

「整個市場都鬆了一口氣……政府和監管機構的做法和基調發生了巨大的轉變，」比特幣早期投資者、加密貨幣新聞網站The Block 特別項目總監弗蘭克·查帕羅(Frank Chaparro) 表示。 “這實際上意味著，銀行將能夠接觸加密貨幣——在過去的四年裡，他們被告知不能接觸加密貨幣。”

Simply ending debanking — or refusing to work with clients because of their crypto connection — could be enough to help the industry flourish, sources say.

消息人士稱，簡單地結束去銀行化——或者因為客戶與加密貨幣的聯繫而拒絕與客戶合作——可能足以幫助該行業蓬勃發展。

“All those banks who worked with cryptocurrencies faced regulatory harassment,” Nic Carter, a crypto investor at Castle Island Ventures who raised alarm bells about Biden’s debanking efforts told NYNext.

Castle Island Ventures 的加密貨幣投資者 Nic Carter 對拜登的去銀行業努力敲響了警鐘。

Carter has labeled Biden’s so-called debanking efforts “Operation Chokepoint 2.0” — a reference to the Obama Administration’s Operation Chokepoint, which aimed to crack down on illicit activity, like drug sales, but ended up going after legal businesses like firearms dealers.

卡特將拜登所謂的去銀行行動稱為「阻塞點行動2.0」——指的是奧巴馬政府的阻塞點行動，該行動旨在打擊毒品銷售等非法活動，但最終卻打擊了槍支經銷商等合法企業。

Under the Biden administration, banks were told by regulators at the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) not to work with cryptocurrency companies, which handicapped the industry. Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen described the administration’s action as “terrorizing” startups — and said in an interview with Joe Rogan last month that banks were pushed to debank 30 startups in which he invested.

在拜登政府領導下，聯邦存款保險公司（FDIC）的監管機構告訴銀行不要與加密貨幣公司合作，這阻礙了該行業的發展。創投家馬克安德森(Marc Andreessen) 將政府的行動描述為「恐嚇」新創公司，並在上個月接受喬羅根(Joe Rogan) 採訪時表示，銀行被迫取消了他投資的30 家新創公司的銀行帳戶。

“It’s a privatized sanctions regime,” Andreesen said.

「這是一個私有化的製裁制度，」安德森說。

“Banks never tell you why they’re debanking you,” Carter adds. “They may communicate verbally that there are reputational risks, but the conversation is so obscure.”

「銀行永遠不會告訴你為什麼他們要取消你的銀行帳戶，」卡特補充道。 “他們可能口頭上表示存在聲譽風險，但談話內容卻如此晦澀難懂。”

This situation resulted in crypto startups moving offshore or never launching in the first place.

這種情況導致加密貨幣新創公司轉向海外或從未啟動。

With just that change alone, Carter predicts a crypto startup renaissance: “All the startups that left are coming back [to the US] … this was the number one thing crypto people wanted to change.”

僅憑這一變化，卡特就預測加密初創公司將會復興：“所有離開的初創公司都會回到[美國]……這是加密貨幣人們想要改變的第一件事。”

And there are already some early signs of that happening, sources add.

消息人士補充說，這種情況已經出現了一些早期跡象。

Dennis Dinkelmeyer, the founder and CEO of European-based cryptocurrency investment firm Midas, told NYNext that he is considering launching in the US this year.

歐洲加密貨幣投資公司 Midas 的創始人兼執行長 Dennis Dinkelmeyer 告訴 NYNext，他正在考慮今年在美國推出這項業務。

“Founders across the market are looking to make a comeback or expand into the US for the first time in four years,” Dinkelmeyer said. “Excitement is returning and you see this in recent news of big projects such as TON [Midas’ crypto bank on the blockchain] pushing into the stateside market for the first time.”

丁克梅爾表示：“整個市場的創始人四年來首次尋求捲土重來或進軍美國。” “興奮正在回歸，你可以在最近關於 TON（Midas 區塊鏈上的加密貨幣銀行）等大型項目首次進軍美國市場的消息中看到這一點。”

During his administration, Biden appointed officials who tried to crack down on the industry — passing laws that make it difficult for traditional institutions to hold cryptocurrency. Lawmakers and regulators saw the industry, which remains wildly speculative, as something to be tamped down rather than grown carefully, sources explain.

在他執政期間，拜登任命了試圖打擊該行業的官員，通過了使傳統機構難以持有加密貨幣的法律。消息人士解釋說，立法者和監管機構認為這個仍然充滿投機性的行業應該受到抑制，而不是小心翼翼地發展。

While they acknowledge there is risk involved, these people want to see rules that at least make it possible for crypto companies to operate and grow in the US.

儘管他們承認存在風險，但這些人希望看到至少使加密貨幣公司能夠在美國運作和發展的規則。

On Friday, Sacks will host the first-ever Crypto Ball in Washington, DC, kicking off a weekend of celebrations ahead of Trump’s inauguration on January 20. The black-tie event, with tickets ranging from $2,500 (and already sold out) to $1 million — which includes a private dinner with the president-elect — includes such sponsors as Coinbase, Solana, MicroStrategy, Kraken, Galaxy Digital and more.

週五，薩克斯將在華盛頓特區舉辦首屆加密貨幣舞會，為1 月20 日川普就職典禮之前的周末慶祝活動拉開序幕。美元不等百萬美元——其中包括與當選總統的私人晚宴——包括 Coinbase、Solana、MicroStrategy、Kraken、Galaxy Digital 等贊助商。

Anthony Pompliano, Founder & CEO of Professional Capital Management, explains that, in the coming months, he is optimistic the Trump Administration will get into the minutiae of regulations and change accounting rules to make it easier to transact in Bitcoin.

Professional Capital Management 創辦人兼執行長Anthony Pompliano 解釋說，在接下來的幾個月裡，他樂觀地認為川普政府將深入研究監管細節並改變會計規則，以使比特幣交易變得更容易。

While many in the cryptocurrency community have been cheering on the pro-crypto executive orders Trump is expected to issue, one idea is causing more controversy: the idea of an America-first strategic reserve that would prioritize digital coins founded in the US, like Solana, USD Coin and Ripple.

儘管加密貨幣社群中的許多人一直在為川普預計發布的支持加密貨幣的行政命令歡呼，但有一個想法引起了更多爭議：美國優先的戰略儲備的想法將優先考慮在美國建立的數位貨幣，例如Solana 、美元硬幣和瑞波幣。

In recent weeks, Trump has met with the founders of these coins and, sources said, is receptive to the idea.

消息人士稱，最近幾週，川普會見了這些代幣的創始人，並接受了這個想法。

Insiders, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, shared concerns that it could delegitimize efforts to promote Bitcoin, which is the asset they want to prioritize.

不願透露姓名的內部人士也擔心，這可能會讓推廣比特幣的努力失去合法性，而比特幣是他們想要優先考慮的資產。

But sources also told The Post that those fissures take a back seat to what they believe will become a crypto golden age.

但消息人士也告訴《華盛頓郵報》，這些分歧在他們認為將成為加密貨幣黃金時代的時代中退居二線。

Chaparro, for one, thinks Trump has already set a new tone for the industry: “It’s

查帕羅認為，川普已經為該行業定下了新基調：「
