美國參議院取消重新提名民主黨人卡羅琳·克倫肖 (Caroline Crenshaw) 進入 SEC 的投票

由於國會將於 12 月 20 日假期休會，這意味著克倫肖不太可能在當選總統唐納德·特朗普政府之前獲得連任

A US Senate vote to renominate Democrat Caroline Crenshaw for a second term at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been canceled.

美國參議院重新提名民主黨人卡羅琳·克倫肖 (Caroline Crenshaw) 連任美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 委員的投票已被取消。

In an update, the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs said the scheduled vote on the nomination of Crenshaw to the SEC and Gordon Ito to the Financial Stability Oversight Council had been canceled.

美國參議院銀行、住房和城市事務委員會在最新消息中表示，原定對美國證券交易委員會提名克倫肖和金融穩定監督委員會提名戈登伊藤進行的投票已被取消。

The original vote was scheduled for December 11; however, Sherrod Brown, the Senate Banking Committee Chair, postponed it within minutes of starting, due to issues between the Democrats and Republicans.

最初投票定於 12 月 11 日進行；然而，由於民主黨和共和黨之間的問題，參議院銀行委員會主席謝羅德布朗在會議開始後幾分鐘內就推遲了會議。

At the time, Brown later released a statement saying that corporate special interests are running a “disgusting smear campaign against Caroline Crenshaw.”

當時，布朗後來發表聲明稱，企業特殊利益集團正在「對卡羅琳·克倫肖進行令人厭惡的誹謗運動」。

Yet, with Congress due to stop on December 20 for the holidays, it means Crenshaw is unlikely to be renominated before President-elect Donald Trump’s administration re-enters the White House in January.

然而，由於國會將於 12 月 20 日假期休會，這意味著在當選總統唐納德·川普政府於 1 月重新入主白宮之前，克倫肖不太可能獲得連任。

Crenshaw’s term officially ended in June.

克倫肖的任期於六月正式結束。

The crypto industry has been openly opposed to the reappointment of Crenshaw.

加密產業一直公開反對克倫肖的連任。

In a letter to Brown and Senate Banking Committee Ranking Member Tim Scott, the Blockchain Association and the DeFi Education Fund argued that Crenshaw’s actions have undermined Congress’s mandate to establish clear regulatory policies for the crypto industry.

在給布朗和參議院銀行委員會高級成員 Tim Scott 的一封信中，區塊鏈協會和 DeFi 教育基金認為，克倫肖的行為破壞了國會為加密行業制定明確監管政策的授權。

Following the news of Crenshaw’s reappointment, Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, took to X to say: “She tried to block the Bitcoin ETFs, and was worse than Gensler on some issues (which I didn’t think was possible).”

在克倫肖連任的消息傳出後，Coinbase 執行長布萊恩·阿姆斯壯(Brian Armstrong) 在X 網站上表示：「她試圖阻止比特幣ETF，但在某些問題上比Gensler 更糟糕（我認為這是不可能的）。

With Crenshaw’s renomination vote canceled, the SEC could have a Republican majority leading it for the time being.

由於克倫肖的重新提名投票被取消，美國證券交易委員會可能暫時由共和黨多數派領先。

The SEC can make up to five commissioners, but no more than three can form the same political party. Current SEC chair Gary Gensler, a Democrat, is stepping down on January 20, and SEC Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga, also a Democrat, will step down on January 17.

SEC 最多可組成五名委員，但同一政黨不得超過三名委員。現任 SEC 主席、民主黨人加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 將於 1 月 20 日辭職，同為民主黨人的 SEC 專員 Jaime Lizárraga 將於 1 月 17 日辭職。

Last week, Trump nominated pro-crypto Paul Atkins, a Republican, as chair of the SEC.

上週，川普提名支持加密貨幣的共和黨人保羅阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins) 擔任 SEC 主席。

Including Gensler and Lizárraga, the three remaining SEC commissioners are Republicans Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda.

包括 Gensler 和 Lizárraga 在內，剩下的三名 SEC 委員是共和黨人 Hester Peirce 和 Mark Uyeda。
