比特幣和穩定幣支持者霍華德·盧特尼克 (Howard Lutnick) 被川普任命為商務部長

盧特尼克以其在金融領域的影響力和對比特幣和穩定幣的直言不諱的支持而聞名，他將帶領川普的貿易和經濟議程

President-elect Donald Trump has announced via Truth Social that Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, will serve as Commerce secretary.

當選總統唐納德·川普透過 Truth Social 宣布，坎托·菲茨杰拉德 (Cantor Fitzgerald) 執行長霍華德·盧特尼克 (Howard Lutnick) 將擔任商務部長。

Lutnick, a influential figure in finance, is a known supporter of Bitcoin and stablecoins. He will lead Trump's trade and economic agenda, which includes a proposed 60% tariff on Chinese goods.

盧特尼克是金融界的一位有影響力的人物，也是眾所周知的比特幣和穩定幣的支持者。他將領導川普的貿易和經濟議程，其中包括擬議對中國商品徵收 60% 的關稅。

“Bitcoin is like gold and should be free trade everywhere,” Lutnick said at a Bitcoin conference earlier this year. “We’ll do everything in our power to make it so.”

「比特幣就像黃金一樣，應該在任何地方進行自由貿易，」盧特尼克在今年稍早的比特幣會議上表示。 “我們將竭盡全力實現這一目標。”

In a CNBC podcast last year, Lutnick expressed his support for crypto, specifically highlighting Bitcoin and adding that other coins “are just not a thing.” He also showed support for the stablecoin Tether.

在去年的 CNBC 播客中，盧特尼克表達了他對加密貨幣的支持，特別強調了比特幣，並補充說其他硬幣「根本不是一個東西」。他也表達了對穩定幣 Tether 的支持。

Cantor Fitzgerald, where Lutnick serves as CEO, is a primary dealer that trades directly with the Federal Reserve and has ventured into crypto services.

盧特尼克 (Lutnick) 擔任執行長的 Cantor Fitzgerald 是一家直接與聯準會進行交易的主要交易商，並涉足加密貨幣服務領域。

The firm notably manages Tether's US Treasury holdings that back its USDT stablecoin and recently launched a $2 billion Bitcoin financing operation.

該公司主要管理 Tether 持有的支持其 USDT 穩定幣的美國國債，並於最近推出了 20 億美元的比特幣融資業務。

As Commerce secretary, Lutnick will oversee the Department of Commerce's 13 bureaus, including the Census Bureau and the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

身為商務部長，盧特尼克將負責監管商務部的 13 個局，包括人口普查局和美國貿易代表辦公室。

Among his responsibilities will be advancing Trump's tariff-heavy trade policies, promoting foreign investment, and negotiating trade deals.

他的職責包括推動川普高關稅貿易政策、促進外國投資以及貿易協定談判。

At Trump's Madison Square Garden campaign rally last month, Lutnick stated that the US was most prosperous during the early 1900s, when there was “no income tax and all we had was tariffs.”

上個月，在川普麥迪遜廣場花園的競選集會上，盧特尼克表示，美國在 1900 年代初期最為繁榮，當時「沒有所得稅，我們擁有的只是關稅」。
