民主黨立法者引起了對特朗普家族的加密投資的關注衝突

民主黨議員對特朗普家族的加密投資與美國金融監管之間的潛在利益衝突提出了疑問。

Lawmakers are raising questions about potential conflicts of interest between the Trump family’s crypto investments and U.S. financial regulation, specifically highlighting World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI) (NYSE: WLFI).

議員們正在提出有關特朗普家族的加密投資與美國金融監管之間潛在利益衝突的問題，特別是強調了世界自由金融公司（WLFI）（NYSE：WLFI）。

In a joint letter on Monday, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) demanded that Acting Chair Mark Uyeda provide records and communications related to WLFI since October 15, 2024.

在周一的聯合信中，參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）（D-MA）和代表Maxine Waters（D-CA）要求代理主席Mark Uyeda自2024年10月15日以來提供與WLFI相關的記錄和通訊。

This request comes as the SEC has reportedly pivoted from aggressive enforcement to a more hands-off approach to crypto regulation.

據報導，SEC從激進的執法到更加輕率的加密法規的方法是因為SEC涉及的要求。

What Happened: According to recent SEC filings and reports, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump have a significant stake in WLFI through an entity called DT Marks DEFI LLC, which is claimed to hold 75% of token revenue and 60% of future earnings from the company’s operations.

發生了什麼：根據SEC最近的文件和報告，Donald Trump，Donald Trump Jr.和Eric Trump通過一個名為DT Marks Defi LLC的實體在WLFI中有很大的股份，據稱該公司持有該公司的75％的收入和60％的未來收入。

The lawmakers expressed concern that the family’s deep financial involvement “represents an unprecedented conflict of interest with the potential to influence the Trump Administration’s oversight—or lack thereof—of the cryptocurrency industry.”

立法者表示擔心該家庭的深厚財務參與“代表了前所未有的利益衝突，並有可能影響特朗普政府對加密貨幣行業的監督（或缺乏）。”

They noted that the agency has paused or dropped multiple crypto lawsuits in recent months, including cases against Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), Kraken, Uniswap Labs, and OpenSea.

他們指出，近幾個月來，該機構已暫停或放棄了多次加密訴訟，包括針對Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN），KRAKEN，UNISWAP LABS和OPENSEA的案件。

One case that has drawn particular attention is that of Tron founder Justin Sun, whose fraud case was quietly put on hold by the SEC in February. This timing has sparked speculation about possible regulatory favoritism, especially given Sun’s $75 million investment in WLFI shortly after the case was dropped.

一個引起特別關注的案件是特倫創始人賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun），其欺詐案在2月被SEC悄悄擱置。這個時機引發了人們對可能的監管偏愛的猜測，特別是考慮到案件後不久，Sun在WLFI的7500萬美元投資。

The lawmakers asked the SEC to preserve “all internal memoranda justifying the initial enforcement decision” and records of meetings between SEC officials and representatives of Sun or the Trump family.

立法者要求SEC保留“所有內部備忘錄，證明最初的執法裁決是合理的”，以及SEC官員與Sun或Trump家族代表之間的會議記錄。

Trump has promised broad changes to crypto regulation to encourage mainstream adoption in America. Since Trump appointed Uyeda as acting chair in January, the SEC has created a task force to work with the crypto industry, which will be led by Republican Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her pro-crypto stance.

特朗普已承諾對加密監管進行廣泛的變化，以鼓勵美國主流採用。自從特朗普在一月份任命烏耶達（Uyeda）為代理主席以來，SEC創建了一個工作組，與加密貨幣行業合作，該行業將由共和黨專員Hester Peirce領導，Hester Peirce以其親克萊普託的立場而聞名。

Stablecoin Legislation: The lawmakers’ letter arrived on the same day the House Financial Services Committee voted to advance a bill that would set up a framework for dollar-denominated stablecoins, including reserve requirements and anti-money laundering standards.

Stablecoin立法：立法者的信在眾議院金融服務委員會投票決定的同一天到達，該法案將製定一個以美元計價的穩定簽為框架，包括儲備要求和反貨幣洗錢標準。

The committee approved the STABLE Act with 32 members in favor and 17 opposed.

委員會批准了32名贊成會成員的穩定法案，有17名反對。

The legislation, formally named the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act, would create a pathway for state-chartered banks to provide banking services to crypto firms. It would also mandate that stablecoin issuers maintain reserves to fully cover customer deposits and be subject to enhanced reporting requirements.

該立法正式命名為“更好的賬本經濟法案”的穩定性透明度和問責制，將為由州議會的銀行提供一條途徑，以向加密貨幣公司提供銀行服務。它還要求Stablecoin發行人保持儲備金以完全覆蓋客戶存款並受到增強的報告要求。

The vote on the bill comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the Trump administration's financial ties to crypto firms. Earlier this year, a report by the Center for Responsive Politics found that the Trump family has received at least $1 million in contributions from the cryptocurrency industry.

在對特朗普政府與加密公司的財務聯繫進行持續審查的情況下，對該法案進行了投票。今年早些時候，響應式政治中心的一份報告發現，特朗普家族至少收到了加密貨幣行業的100萬美元捐款。

Democrats on the committee proposed several amendments to the bill, including one that would have barred the president and top officials from launching such financial products while in office. However, these amendments were rejected by the Republican majority.

委員會的民主黨人提出了對該法案的幾項修正案，其中包括一項法案，禁止總統和高級官員在任職期間推出此類金融產品。但是，這些修正案遭到共和黨多數派的拒絕。

The White House responded to the concerns, saying that “President Trump’s assets are in a trust managed by his children. There are no conflicts of interest.”

白宮對這些擔憂做出了回應，稱：“特朗普總統的資產是由他的子女管理的信託。沒有利益衝突。”

A spokesperson for WLFI responded to the lawmakers’ letter, saying it was “disappointing that Senator Warren is attempting to weaponize the power of the government to continue to harass and target the Trump family and our project.”

WLFI的發言人回應了立法者的信，稱這是“令人失望的是，沃倫參議員正試圖使政府的權力武器化，以繼續騷擾特朗普家族和我們的項目。”

The SEC has until April 14 to respond to the lawmakers’ request.

SEC必須在4月14日之前回應立法者的要求。

“The American people deserve to know whether their financial markets are being regulated impartially or whether regulatory decisions are being made to benefit the President’s family financial interests,” concluded Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Maxine Waters (D-CA).

參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（D-MA）（D-MA）和Maxine Waters（D-CA）總結說：“美國人民應該知道他們的金融市場是否受到公正的監管，還是正在做出監管決定以使總統的家庭財務利益受益。”

An SEC spokesperson said in a statement that “Acting Chairman Uyeda will respond to Members of Congress directly.”

SEC發言人在一份聲明中說：“代理主席Uyeda將直接回應國會議員。”
