"After an incredible journey as CEO of Blockchain Association, I’m stepping down from my role as CEO on May 16.

“在擔任區塊鏈協會首席執行官的難以置信的旅程之後，我將於5月16日辭去首席執行官的職務。

Leading this organization, working alongside brilliant colleagues, members, and friends, and advocating for an industry that I believe is shaping the future has been an

領導該組織，與出色的同事，成員和朋友一起工作，並倡導我認為正在塑造未來的行業一直是一個

enormous privilege.

巨大的特權。

We’ve achieved a lot together. We played a key role in securing the passage of bipartisan legislation to provide clarity on digital assets, including crypto, and to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins. We also advocated for policies that promote responsible innovation and protect consumers.

我們在一起取得了很多成就。我們在確保兩黨立法的通過，以清楚包括加密貨幣在內的數字資產，並為Stablecoins創建監管框架。我們還主張制定促進負責任創新並保護消費者的政策。

I’m particularly proud of the work we did to educate policymakers and the public about blockchain technology and its potential to transform our economy and society. We organized countless events, meetings, and briefings, and I’m grateful to everyone who participated in these efforts.

我為我們為對決策者和公眾提供有關區塊鏈技術及其改變我們經濟和社會的潛力的工作所做的工作感到特別自豪。我們組織了無數的活動，會議和簡報，我感謝參加這些努力的每個人。

I’m also proud of the work we did to build a strong and united voice for the industry. We brought together a diverse range of members, from large corporations to startups, and we worked tirelessly to speak with one voice on the issues that matter most.

我也為我們為該行業建立強大而團結的聲音所做的工作感到自豪。我們匯集了各種各樣的成員，從大公司到初創公司，我們不懈地努力就最重要的問題發表聲音。

I’m confident that Blockchain Association will continue to thrive under the leadership of its members and board of directors. I’m excited to see what the future holds for this organization and for the crypto industry as a whole.

我相信區塊鏈協會將在其成員和董事會的領導下繼續蓬勃發展。我很高興看到該組織以及整個加密行業的未來。

P.S. I’m also joining the Solana Policy Institute as a founding board member and will be helping to launch a non-partisan, non-profit organization to accelerate the development of broad crypto policies ranging from stablecoins to market structure and industry initiatives.

PS我還加入Solana政策研究所作為創始委員會成員，並將幫助成立一個非黨派的非營利組織，以加快從Stablecoins到市場結構和行業計劃的廣泛加密政策的製定。

It seems that Kristin Smith, the CEO of The Blockchain Association, has decided to move on to a newly-announced non-partisan, non-profit organization called the Solana Policy Institute, as reported by Benzinga.

Benzinga報導，區塊鏈協會首席執行官克里斯汀·史密斯（Kristin Smith）決定繼續前往一個新宣布的非黨派非營利組織，名為Solana Policy Institute。

Those who follow the crypto industry closely will surely know Smith, who is also a former White House official and has experience in both the Bush and Obama administrations. Having worked at the Center for Strategic and International Studies as a research fellow in the Global Development program, Smith is also a graduate of both Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

那些密切關注加密貨幣行業的人肯定會認識史密斯，他也是前白宮官員，並且在布什和奧巴馬政府中都有經驗。史密斯（Smith）曾在全球發展計劃中擔任戰略和國際研究中心，曾是斯坦福大學和賓夕法尼亞大學法學院的畢業生。

So, with such experience attached to The Blockchain Association for over 7 years – a lot of work has been done to develop many initiatives and strategies that can be effective for the government and beneficial to the crypto industry.

因此，隨著區塊鏈協會的這種經驗已有7多年了 - 已經為製定許多對政府有效並對加密貨幣行業有益的計劃和策略做出了許多工作。

However, while the work to continue developing this doesn’t end for The Blockchain Association – Smith has decided to put her efforts into the recently launched Solana Policy Institute. This is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that aims to accelerate the development of crypto policies that are as broad as possible regarding everything from stablecoins to market structure.

但是，儘管繼續開發這一過程的工作並沒有結束區塊鏈協會，但史密斯決定將她的努力投入最近啟動的Solana政策研究所。這是一個非黨派的非營利組織，旨在加快加密政策的製定，這些政策在從穩定到市場結構到市場結構的所有方面都盡可能廣泛。

Because key regulators already have a much better understanding of Bitcoin and are more prepared to regulate it effectively – the rapid and diverse development of DeFi and the Solana ecosystem, in particular, remains underdeveloped and requires similar, if not much more extensive efforts.

因為關鍵的監管機構已經對比特幣有了更好的了解，並且已經準備好有效地調節它 - 尤其是Defi和Solana生態系統的快速而多樣化的發展仍然不發達，並且需要類似的努力，即使不是更廣泛的努力。

The Blockchain Association has confirmed the departure, and Smith did a post in their X that pretty comprehensively and positively summarizes previous experiences and upcoming initiatives.

區塊鏈協會已經確認了這一離開，史密斯在其X上發表了一篇文章，對以前的經驗和即將到來的計劃進行了全面和積極的總結。
