克里斯汀·史密斯（Kristin Smith）退出區塊鏈協會，領導新成立的索拉納政策研究所

總部位於美國的區塊鏈協會首席執行官克里斯汀·史密斯（Kristin Smith）將離開最近成立的Solana政策研究所的加密貨幣倡導組織。

Kristin Smith, the CEO of the US-based Blockchain Association, will be leaving the cryptocurrency advocacy group for the recently launched Solana (SOL) Policy Institute.

總部位於美國區塊鏈協會的首席執行官克里斯汀·史密斯（Kristin Smith）將離開最近啟動的Solana（SOL）政策研究所的加密貨幣倡導小組。

The Blockchain Association (BA) said Smith will be stepping down from her role as CEO on May 16, according to an April 1 notice. The soon-to-be former CEO will become president of the Solana Policy Institute on May 19, the association added.

區塊鏈協會（BA）表示，根據4月1日的通知，史密斯將於5月16日辭去首席執行官的職務。該協會補充說，即將成為前首席執行官將於5月19日成為索拉納政策研究所的主席。

The association’s notice did not provide an apparent reason for the move to the Solana advocacy organization nor say who would lead the group after Smith’s departure. Cointelegraph reached out to the Blockchain Association for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.

該協會的通知沒有提供明顯的理由搬到索拉納倡導組織，也沒有說在史密斯離開後誰將領導該組織。 Cointelegraph與區塊鏈協會聯繫以進行置評，但在發佈時沒有收到回應。

Smith, who has worked at the BA since 2018 and was deputy chief of staff for former Montana Representative Denny Rehberg, will follow DeFi Education Fund CEO Miller Whitehouse-Levine, leaving his position to join the Solana Policy Institute as CEO. According to Whitehouse-Levine, the organization plans to educate US policymakers on Solana.

史密斯（Smith）自2018年以來一直在學士學位工作，並擔任前蒙大拿州代表丹尼·雷伯格（Denny Rehberg）的副參謀長，他將跟隨Defi教育基金首席執行官Miller Whitehouse-Levine，離開他的職位，加入Solana政策研究所擔任首席執行官。根據Whitehouse-Levine的說法，該組織計劃對美國決策者進行有關Solana的教育。

The crypto advocacy group, which has members from the industry such as Coinbase, Ripple Labs and Chainlink Labs, has filed a lawsuit against the US Internal Revenue Service, challenging regulations requiring brokers to report crypto transactions. The group often criticized the US Securities and Exchange Commission under former chair Gary Gensler for its “regulation by enforcement” approach to crypto, resulting in steep legal fees for many companies.

加密倡導集團（Crypto Advocacy Group）擁有來自Coinbase，Ripple Labs和Chainlink Labs等行業的成員，已針對美國國稅局提起訴訟，挑戰了要求經紀人報告加密交易的法規。該組織經常批評前主席加里·蓋斯勒（Gary Gensler）領導下的美國證券交易委員會，以“執行”對加密貨幣的“執法法規”，從而給許多公司帶來了高昂的法律費用。

Less than 48 hours after the Solana Policy Institute’s launch, it’s unclear what the group’s immediate goals may be for engaging with US lawmakers and advocating for the industry. The organization described itself as a non-partisan 501(c)(3) non-profit group.

在Solana政策研究所推出不到48小時後，目前尚不清楚該集團與美國立法者互動並提倡該行業的直接目標是什麼。該組織將自己描述為非黨派501（c）（3）非營利組織。
