在現任民主黨政府領導下，美國成功的加密貨幣新創公司比例已急劇下降至 20%

The United States’ share of successful crypto startups has sharply declined to 20% under the current Democratic administration, according to data reported by Alliance, a prominent crypto founder network. This marks a significant drop from approximately 80% in 2022.

根據著名加密貨幣創始人網路 Alliance 報告的數據，在當前民主黨政府的領導下，美國成功的加密貨幣新創公司的比例已大幅下降至 20%。這與 2022 年的約 80% 相比大幅下降。

The decline is largely attributed to increasing regulatory challenges and scrutiny from federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Over the past year, the SEC has launched several investigations into various crypto entities, including some of the most well-known players in the industry, such as OpenSea, Coinbase, and Uniswap.

這一下降主要歸因於聯邦機構，特別是美國證券交易委員會（SEC）日益增加的監管挑戰和審查。在過去的一年裡，SEC 對各種加密實體發起了多項調查，其中包括一些業界最知名的參與者，例如 OpenSea、Coinbase 和 Uniswap。

Recently, OpenSea, a leading NFT marketplace, received a Wells Notice from the SEC. The notice, typically a precursor to formal charges, suggested that the digital collectibles traded on the platform might be classified as securities.

最近，領先的 NFT 市場 OpenSea 收到了 SEC 的 Wells 通知。該通知通常是正式指控的先兆，表明在該平台上交易的數位收藏品可能被歸類為證券。

OpenSea’s CEO, Devin Finzer, expressed surprise at the SEC’s stance, stating,

OpenSea 執行長 Devin Finzer 對 SEC 的立場表示驚訝，他表示：

“We’re shocked the SEC would make such a sweeping move against creators and artists.”

“我們對美國證券交易委員會會對創作者和藝術家採取如此全面的行動感到震驚。”

The company has vowed to challenge the SEC’s position, arguing that its products should not be considered securities.

該公司發誓要挑戰美國證券交易委員會的立場，認為其產品不應被視為證券。

Another major decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, Uniswap, has also come under the SEC’s scrutiny, facing a probe into its operations.

另一個主要的去中心化金融（DeFi）協議 Uniswap 也受到了 SEC 的審查，面臨對其營運的調查。

Similarly, Coinbase and Binance, two of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, have encountered regulatory hurdles from the agency.

同樣，最大的兩家加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 和 Binance 也遇到了該機構的監管障礙。

These actions by the SEC are perceived by industry insiders as a potential threat to innovation within the crypto sector.

業內人士認為 SEC 的這些行動對加密貨幣產業的創新構成了潛在威脅。

“It would be a terrible outcome if creators stopped making digital art because of regulatory saber-rattling,” Finzer warned.

芬澤警告說：“如果創作者因為監管方面的武力威脅而停止創作數位藝術，那將是一個可怕的結果。”

The political context surrounding the SEC’s actions is also a point of discussion. Some in the industry interpret the SEC’s aggressive stance as a possible challenge to former President Donald Trump, who has recently entered the NFT space with a new series of digital collectibles. If the SEC’s claims that certain NFTs are securities hold, Trump’s NFT venture could face legal difficulties.

圍繞 SEC 行動的政治背景也是一個討論點。一些業內人士將 SEC 的激進立場解讀為對前總統唐納德·川普的可能挑戰，後者最近帶著一系列新的數位收藏品進入了 NFT 領域。如果 SEC 聲稱某些 NFT 屬於證券持有，那麼川普的 NFT 企業可能會面臨法律困難。

In response to the current regulatory environment, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, referenced a historical precedent from 1976, noting that

為了回應當前的監管環境，Ripple 首席法務官 Stuart Alderoty 引用了 1976 年的歷史先例，指出

“In 1976, the SEC ruled that art galleries, even when promoting and selling to buyers that had investment motives, didn’t need to register with the SEC.”

“1976年，美國證券交易委員會裁定，即使畫廊向有投資動機的買家進行推銷和出售，也無需在美國證券交易委員會註冊。”

This historical context suggests that the SEC’s current approach might face challenges in court, particularly concerning the classification of NFTs.

這一歷史背景表明，SEC 目前的做法可能會在法庭上面臨挑戰，特別是在 NFT 分類方面。

Political dynamics are further influencing the crypto landscape in the U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’s attempts at a crypto reset have yet to yield noticeable results, while former President Trump’s pro-crypto stance is gaining traction among certain voter segments. Trump has promised a Bitcoin strategic reserve and is reportedly involved in various crypto-related projects, such as a DeFi initiative hinted at by his son, Donald Trump Jr.

政治動態正在進一步影響加密貨幣格局，美國副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris) 的加密貨幣重置嘗試尚未產生明顯結果，而前總統川普的支持加密貨幣立場正在某些選民群體中獲得關注。川普承諾建立比特幣戰略儲備，據報道還參與了各種與加密貨幣相關的項目，例如他的兒子小唐納德·川普暗示的 DeFi 計劃。

The sharp decline in the U.S. share of successful crypto startups is causing concern among industry participants. Qiao Wang, co-founder of Alliance, attributed this slump to the current regulatory environment under Democratic leadership.

美國成功的加密貨幣新創公司比例急劇下降引起了行業參與者的擔憂。 Alliance聯合創始人王橋將這種下滑歸因於當前民主黨領導下的監管環境。

“Four more years of gaslighting by the Democrats and there will be zero good crypto startups left in the US,” Wang stated.

王表示：“如果民主黨再繼續四年，美國優秀的加密貨幣初創公司將為零。”

Wang’s comments reflect a broader sentiment within the industry that the current regulatory approach could drive innovation and entrepreneurial activity away from the U.S., potentially benefiting other countries with more favorable regulatory environments.

王的評論反映了業界更廣泛的觀點，即當前的監管方式可能會導致創新和創業活動遠離美國，從而有可能使其他擁有更有利監管環境的國家受益。
