美國參議院銀行委員會的議員們投票決定提名保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）擔任證券交易委員會（SEC）的主席，為在商會中進行全面投票鋪平了道路。

In an April 3 executive session of the banking committee, lawmakers voted 13-11 for Atkins to serve two consecutive terms as an SEC commissioner, taking over former Chair Gary Gensler’s term ending in June 2026 and another term ending in 2031.

在4月3日的銀行委員會執行會議上，立法者以13-11的票數投票贊成阿特金斯連續任期擔任SEC專員，接替了前主席加里·貢斯勒（Gary Gensler）於2026年6月結束的任期，另一個任期於2031年結束。

Atkins’ nomination will soon go to the Republican-controlled Senate for a full floor vote, where many experts suggest he is likely to be confirmed.

Before calling for a vote, committee chair Tim Scott said thatAtkins will bring "much-needed clarity for digital assets." Ranking member Elizabeth Warren again voiced her concerns about Trump's pick helping "billionaire scammers" like former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and Tesla CEO Elon Musk who are "actively trying to destroy" federal agencies, like the SEC.

在呼籲投票之前，委員會主席蒂姆·斯科特（Tim Scott）表示，阿塔克斯（Atkins）將帶來“急需的數字資產清晰度”。等級成員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）再次表達了她對特朗普的選擇幫助“億萬富翁騙子”的擔憂，例如前FTX首席執行官山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman Fried）和特斯拉（Tesla）首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk），他們“積極地試圖摧毀”聯邦機構，例如SEC。

The committee also advanced nominations for Jonathan Gould as Comptroller of the Currency, Luke Pettit as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and Marcus Molinaro as Federal Transit Administrator. The majority of Democrats on the committee were not present on April 3, with Senator Warren acting as a proxy for many votes.

該委員會還提出了喬納森·古爾德（Jonathan Gould）作為貨幣審計長的提名，盧克·佩蒂特（Luke Pettit）擔任財政部助理秘書，而馬庫斯·莫利納羅（Marcus Molinaro）則為聯邦政府運輸管理員。該委員會的大多數民主黨人不在4月3日出席，沃倫參議員擔任許多選票的代理。

Implications of new SEC leadership on the crypto industry

新的SEC領導力對加密行業的影響

As a presidential candidate, Trump pledged to fire Gensler "on day one" of his second term in office as a promise to the crypto industry.

作為總統候選人，特朗普承諾“在任期的第一天”就“對加密貨幣產業的承諾”解雇了Gensler。

Many investors and company executives slammed the former SEC chair for a "regulation by enforcement" approach to digital assets, with the commission filing several lawsuits against major firms over alleged violations of securities laws.

許多投資者和公司高管抨擊了前美國證券交易委員會主席對數字資產的“執法法規”方法，委員會就涉嫌違反證券法的行為提起了幾項針對大型公司的訴訟。

Gensler resigned his position on Jan. 20 — the day of Trump's inauguration — paving the way for the president to choose Commissioner Mark Uyeda as acting chair.

加斯勒（Gensler）於1月20日（特朗普就職日期）辭職，為總統選擇專員馬克·烏耶達（Mark Uyeda）作為代理主席鋪平了道路。

Under Uyeda, the SEC has dropped many of the enforcement actions filed under Gensler, including some against companies with executives who contributed directly to the president's 2024 campaign, like Ripple Labs.

在烏耶達（Uyeda）的領導下，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）刪除了蓋斯勒（Gensler）領導下的許多執法行動，其中一些針對具有高管公司的公司，他們直接為總統的2024年競選活動做出了貢獻，例如Ripple Labs。

Democratic lawmakers have called on Uyeda to preserve information and communications regarding the Trump administration's ties to the family-backed crypto company World Liberty Financial, which they claim highlight conflicts of interest.

民主黨立法者呼籲UYEDA保留有關特朗普政府與家庭支持的加密貨幣公司世界自由金融的聯繫的信息和溝通，他們聲稱這突出了利益衝突。

Musk's "government efficiency" team under Trump has also reportedly been granted access to the SEC's data and systems, which has sparked concerns about a potential purge of civil servants at the agency and market disruptions.

據報導，穆斯克在特朗普領導下的“政府效率”團隊也被授予了SEC數據和系統的訪問權，這引起了人們對機構和市場中斷的公務員潛在清除的擔憂。
