美國證券交易委員會主席週三對加密貨幣的評論並沒有鼓勵業內任何人相信他應該在今年過去繼續擔任他的職位。
SEC Chair Gary Gensler's comments on cryptocurrency at an NYU event on Wednesday were widely criticized by people in the crypto industry, who pointed out several inaccuracies in his statements and expressed frustration with his lack of engagement with new technological developments.
美國證券交易委員會主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler) 週三在紐約大學的一次活動上對加密貨幣的評論遭到了加密行業人士的廣泛批評,他們指出了他的聲明中的一些不准確之處,並對他缺乏對新技術發展的參與表示失望。
Gensler's statement that the leading lights of the crypto industry in 2024 are either in jail or awaiting extradition is demonstrably false. While several high-profile fraudsters, including FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, were arrested in 2022, most industry leaders remain at large and actively engaged in the space.
Gensler 聲稱 2024 年加密貨幣行業的領導者要么入獄,要么等待引渡,這顯然是錯誤的。儘管包括 FTX 創始人 Sam Bankman-Fried 在內的幾位知名詐欺者於 2022 年被捕,但大多數行業領導者仍然逍遙法外,並積極參與該領域。
Despite the massive growth and evolution of the crypto sector, Gensler's comments on the Howey Test, which the SEC uses to determine whether a token offering is a security, suggest a lack of engagement with new market conditions. His statement that the Howey Test, which was established by the Supreme Court in 1940, still works fine for digital assets drew criticism from people who believe the SEC should be adapting its regulatory approach to keep pace with technological innovation.
儘管加密產業取得了巨大的成長和發展,Gensler 對 Howey 測試(美國證券交易委員會用來確定代幣發行是否為證券)的評論表明,該測試缺乏對新市場條件的參與。他聲稱最高法院於 1940 年制定的豪伊測試仍然適用於數位資產,這一說法引起了一些人的批評,這些人認為 SEC 應該調整其監管方法以跟上技術創新的步伐。
Gensler's expansive comments on crypto, which stand in contrast to his typically cautious technocratic approach, and his failure to provide any clarity for crypto builders in the U.S. led to speculation that he may be preparing to leave his post. Several people in crypto expressed hope that Gensler's tenure, which SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda described as "a disaster for the whole [crypto] industry," will soon be coming to an end.
Gensler 對加密貨幣的廣泛評論與他典型的謹慎技術官僚態度形成鮮明對比,而且他未能為美國的加密貨幣建設者提供任何明確的信息,導致人們猜測他可能準備離職。加密貨幣領域的幾位人士表示,希望 Gensler 的任期能夠很快結束,美國證券交易委員會委員 Mark Uyeda 稱其為「整個(加密貨幣)行業的一場災難」。
