特朗普政府正在關閉對加密貨幣市場的調查

特朗普政府正在關閉對加密貨幣市場的調查，因為總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）試圖擴大美國在數字資產領域的佔地面積。

The Trump administration is closing investigations into cryptocurrency marketplaces as President Donald Trump seeks to grow the United States’ footprint in the digital asset space.

特朗普政府正在關閉對加密貨幣市場的調查，因為總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）試圖擴大美國在數字資產領域的佔地面積。

Trump has taken several actions meant to signal his deregulation of cryptocurrency while calling for the United States to build a digital stockpile, moves that experts expect may lead consumers to be more comfortable investing in digital assets.

特朗普採取了幾項措施，以表明他對加密貨幣的放鬆管制，同時呼籲美國建立數字儲備，專家期望的舉動可能會導致消費者對數字資產的投資更加自在。

“Certainly at the moment the expectation is we are going to get a clearer regulatory framework. A more permissive regulatory approach,” William Luther, associate professor of economics at Florida Atlantic University, told UPI. “So individuals who may have otherwise been hesitant to purchase or use cryptocurrency will see that the government is more favorable to these assets than it was previously. That will give them a bit more confidence to enter into this space.”

“當然，目前的期望是我們將獲得更清晰的監管框架。佛羅里達州大西洋大學經濟學副教授威廉·路德（William Luther）告訴UPI。 “因此，否則可能猶豫購買或使用加密貨幣的個人將看到政府對這些資產比以前更有利。這將使他們有更多的信心進入這個空間。”

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has dropped two key cases against cryptocurrency marketplaces since Trump has taken office.

自從特朗普上任以來，美國證券交易委員會已針對加密貨幣市場撤銷了兩個關鍵案件。

Last week, the SEC agreed to drop charges against Coinbase(NASDAQ:COIN) for allegedly illegally selling securities, according to the company. The company, a cryptocurrency exchange marketplace, said in a statement that it was a case that “should never have been filed in the first place.”

據該公司稱，上週，SEC同意對Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）的指控撤銷據稱非法銷售證券的指控。該公司是一個加密貨幣交易所市場，在一份聲明中說，這是“永遠不應該首先提起的”。

Robinhood Cryptocurrency announced that the SEC was ending its investigation into the company over potential violations of securities law. Like Coinbase, Robinhood said in a statement that the investigation should not have happened.

Robinhood Cryptocurrency宣布，SEC正在終止對公司對證券法的行為的調查。像Coinbase一樣，Robinhood在一份聲明中說，調查不應該發生。

“As we explained to the SEC, any case against Robinhood Crypto would have failed,” Dan Gallagher, chief legal, compliance and corporate affairs Officer for Robinhood Markets, said in a statement. “We are grateful to the SEC for closing its inquiry.”

“正如我們向美國證券交易委員會（SEC）解釋的那樣，任何反對羅賓格加密貨幣的案件都會失敗。”羅比林市場（Robinhood Markets）首席法律，合規和公司事務官員丹·加拉格爾（Dan Gallagher）在一份聲明中說。 “我們感謝SEC關閉其詢問。”

Both investigations were launched under the administration of former President Joe Biden, but Luther explains that Trump and Biden’s policies as they relate to cryptocurrency are not all that different.

這兩項調查均在前總統喬·拜登（Joe Biden）的政府管理下進行，但路德（Luther）解釋說，特朗普和拜登（Biden）與加密貨幣有關的政策並沒有什麼不同。

“It’s not that the prior administration was opposed to crypto to the extreme,” he said. “Even Gary Gensler, when he was at the SEC, wasn't stamping out cryptocurrencies. He even indicated at times that some of the things that they were trying to do to limit the reach of cryptocurrency, particularly to retail users, wouldn't apply to assets like Bitcoin, which he described as not being a security.”

他說：“並不是先前的政府反對加密貨幣。” “即使是加里·貢斯勒（Gary Gensler）在SEC時，也沒有蓋上加密貨幣。他甚至有時指出，他們試圖做的一些事情以限制加密貨幣的影響範圍，尤其是零售用戶，不適用於像比特幣這樣的資產，他認為這不是安全性。”

Gensler, the chair of the SEC, was often characterized by legal experts as having an aggressive focus on enforcing regulations on cryptocurrency firms. His focus on the asset was primarily in mitigating fraud and penalizing fraudsters.

SEC主席Gensler經常以法律專家為特徵，即積極地關注對加密貨幣公司的法規。他對資產的關注主要是減輕欺詐和懲罰欺詐者。

Cryptocurrency is the most common form of payment fraudsters are paid with in ransomware attacks, according to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, an arm of the U.S. Treasury Department.

美國財政部的一部分金融犯罪執法網絡稱，加密貨幣是最常見的付款欺詐者是在勒索軟件攻擊中支付的。

Trump has nominated Paul Atkins to be the next chair of the SEC. Atkins is a former co-chair at the cryptocurrency advocacy group the Token Alliance.

特朗普已提名保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）為SEC的下一任主席。阿特金斯（Atkins）是加密貨幣倡導組織Token Alliance的前聯席主席。

In his remarks from Miami last week, Trump said he is committed to making America the “crypto capital.” His January 23 executive order suggests he is interested in spurring along the adoption of digital assets in the United States and establishing a government stockpile.

特朗普在上週邁阿密的講話中說，他致力於使美國成為“加密首都”。他的1月23日的行政命令表明，他有興趣在美國採用數字資產並建立政府庫存。

Trump has commissioned the establishment of the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, charging it with identifying regulations, proposing regulatory frameworks and evaluating the potential creation of a national digital asset stockpile.

特朗普委託成立了總統數字資產市場的工作組，指控其確定法規，提出監管框架並評估國家數字資產庫存的潛在創建。

The government has long held cryptocurrencies, at least relative to the history of their existence. It has acquired cryptocurrencies by seizing them through its enforcement efforts, much like it has acquired cash, cars and other goods.

政府長期以來一直保持著加密貨幣，至少相對於其存在的歷史。它通過執法工作抓住了加密貨幣，就像已經獲得了現金，汽車和其他商品一​​樣。

"Make no mistake. The U.S. government owns crypto because that's what criminals have been using," Aaron Klein, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told UPI. "Just like the U.S. owns some Ferraris too."

布魯金斯學會高級研究員亞倫·克萊因（Aaron Klein）告訴UPI：“毫無疑問。美國政府擁有加密貨幣，因為那是罪犯一直在使用的。” “就像美國也擁有一些法拉利一樣。”

Biden similarly commissioned research into cryptocurrency, directing the Federal Reserve to explore whether the government should create its own cryptocurrency in 2022.

拜登（Biden）同樣委託對加密貨幣進行研究，指示美聯儲探索政府是否應該在2022年創建自己的加密貨幣。

Months later, the Federal Reserve came back with a recommendation for the government to explore creating a cryptocurrency that it referred to as a digital dollar.

幾個月後，美聯儲回來了，建議政府探索創建一種被稱為數字美元的加密貨幣。

"Innovation is one of the hallmarks of a vibrant financial system and economy," then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement. "But as we have learned painfully from the past, innovation without appropriately addressing the impact of these developments can result in significant disruptions and harm to the financial system."

當時的財政部長珍妮特·耶倫（Janet Yellen）在一份聲明中說：“創新是充滿活力的金融體系和經濟的標誌之一。” “但是，隨著我們從過去痛苦地學到的，創新沒有適當解決這些發展的影響可能會導致重大破壞和對金融體系的傷害。”

The Trump Administration is not yet following up on this recommendation. As part of Trump's executive order, he has prohibited the Central Bank or any agency from establishing, issuing or promoting a digital currency in the United States or abroad.

特朗普政府尚未遵循這一建議。作為特朗普行政命令的一部分，他禁止中央銀行或任何機構在美國或國外建立，發行或促進數字貨幣。

$TRUMP

$特朗普

Hours before taking the oath of office, Trump launched a meme coin called $TRUMP. A meme coin is an often volatile form of cryptocurrency derived from internet memes.

在上任之前的幾個小時，特朗普推出了一個名為$特朗普的模因硬幣。模因硬幣是從互聯網模因中得出的加密貨幣的一種揮發性形式。

Trump's coin experienced an almost immediate spike in value after launching but has collapsed since. With its initial spike it was trading as high as $31. The current value is a fraction of a cent, down more than 97% since launching.

特朗普的硬幣在發射後幾乎立即產生了價值的激增，但此後崩潰了。憑藉其最初的尖峰，它的交易高達31美元。自推出以來，目前的價值僅為一分錢，下降了97％以上。

First lady Melania Trump also launched a coin just as Trump was taking office. $MELANIA

在特朗普上任時，第一夫人梅拉尼亞·特朗普（Melania Trump）也發起了硬幣。 $ melania
