美國證券交易委員會（SEC）開始擴大其加密執法部門

SEC的改組僅在SEC專員Hester Peirce透露該機構調節加密貨幣空間的新方法之後幾個小時。

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is starting to scale back its crypto enforcement unit, the New York Times reported on Feb. 4.

《紐約時報》 2月4日報導，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）開始縮減其加密執法部門。

Some employees of the 50-staff unit will be shifted to other departments in the agency, it reported, citing five people familiar with the matter.

據報導，該機構的其他部門的一些員工將轉移到該機構的其他部門，並引用了五名熟悉此事的人。

This change in the SEC stance also saw one of the unit’s top lawyers removed from the securities watchdog’s enforcement arm, it added.

它補充說，SEC立場的這種變化還使該部門的一位頂級律師之一從證券監管機構的執法部門中刪除。

The SEC shake-up comes just hours after SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce revealed the agency’s new approach to regulating the crypto space.

SEC的改組僅在SEC專員Hester Peirce透露該機構調節加密貨幣空間的新方法之後幾個小時。

Part of the new approach will be evaluating the security status of digital assets, which could provide “retroactive relief” for some token offerings, she said.

她說，新方法的一部分將是評估數字資產的安全狀況，這可以為某些令牌產品提供“追溯救濟”。

Up until now, the SEC’s “handling of crypto has been marked by legal imprecision and commercial impracticability,” Pierce said. She went on to liken the regulator’s old approach to regulating digital assets to a car careening down the road.

Pierce說，到目前為止，SEC的“對加密貨幣的處理一直以法律不精確和商業不可行性為標誌。”她繼續將監管機構的舊方法比作監管數字資產的舊方法，以便在道路上行駛的汽車。

With the formation of the new SEC task force, led by Peirce, the SEC Commissioner hopes to create an environment that lets developers “experiment and build interesting things.”

在Peirce領導的新SEC工作隊的成立下，SEC專員希望創造一個環境，使開發人員“實驗並建立有趣的事物”。

Former Advisor To Gary Gensler Says SEC Is Removing ”Guardrails”

加里·金斯勒（Gary Gensler）的前顧問說，SEC正在刪除“護欄”

Corey Frayer, a former senior advisor to Gary Gensler during his tenure at the regulator’s helm, says the regulator’s new leadership is removing the “speed limits and guardrails” that made the US capital markets the “strongest in the world.”

科里·弗雷爾（Corey Frayer）是加里·加斯勒（Gary Gensler）在監管機構擔任任期期間的前高級顧問，他說，監管機構的新領導層正在刪除使美國資本市場成為“世界上最強大”的“速度限制和護欄”。

Gensler led the agency in 33 crypto-related enforcement actions against 90 defendants and respondents in 2024, according to Cornerstone Research. That prompted critics to accuse it of regulatory overreach.

根據Cornerstone Research，Gensler在2024年針對90名被告和受訪者的33項與加密相關的執法行動領導了該機構。這促使批評家指責其監管過度。
