上田任命：SEC 的新方向？

美國總統川普任命馬克烏耶達為代理主席，證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的權力平衡急劇傾斜

The appointment of Mark Uyeda as acting chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is poised to significantly alter the regulatory landscape for both traditional finance and the cryptocurrency industry.

Mark Uyeda 被任命為美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 代理主席，將顯著改變傳統金融和加密貨幣行業的監管格局。

After President Trump's inauguration, several key appointments were made within the SEC, including the nomination of Paul Atkins as permanent chair, a move that still requires Senate confirmation.

川普總統就職後，美國證券交易委員會內部做出了幾項重要任命，包括提名保羅·阿特金斯為常任主席，這一舉動仍需要參議院確認。

In the meantime, Uyeda's appointment as acting SEC chair is set to herald a new era in regulatory approach.

與此同時，烏耶達被任命為 SEC 代理主席，這預示著監管方法進入了新時代。

A Republican SEC commissioner since June 2022, Uyeda will now be heading the SEC, following the departure of Gary Gensler, whose tenure was marked by a clash-prone and ambitious agenda that often rubbed Wall Street and the crypto sector the wrong way.

Uyeda 自2022 年6 月起擔任共和黨SEC 專員，在Gary Gensler 離職後，Uyeda 現在將領導SEC。 。

Gensler's rocky relationship with the crypto industry was largely due to his push for greater oversight and regulation of digital assets, a move that was met with resistance from crypto companies seeking clearer guidance and a lighter regulatory touch.

Gensler 與加密產業的不穩定關係很大程度上是由於他推動對數位資產進行更大程度的監督和監管，這一舉措遭到了尋求更清晰指導和更寬鬆監管的加密公司的抵制。

Now, with Uyeda at the helm, his past criticisms of the SEC's approach to digital assets suggest a potential shift in stance.

現在，在 Uyeda 的掌舵下，他過去對 SEC 數位資產處理方式的批評表明立場可能發生轉變。

In an October interview with Fox Business, Uyeda criticized the SEC's failure to provide clear guidance on how crypto companies can register with the agency, calling the approach a "disaster for the whole industry."

在 10 月接受福克斯商業頻道採訪時，Uyeda 批評 SEC 未能就加密貨幣公司如何向該機構註冊提供明確的指導，稱這種做法「對整個行業來說是一場災難」。

This perspective bodes well for crypto companies seeking clarity and a more defined set of rules for digital assets under Uyeda's leadership at the SEC.

這一觀點對於在 SEC 的 Uyeda 領導下尋求清晰和一套更明確的數位資產規則的加密貨幣公司來說是個好兆頭。

Earlier reports also indicated that the newly appointed acting SEC chair, together with fellow Republican Commissioner Hester Peirce, is expected to spearhead a cryptocurrency policy overhaul at the SEC as early as this week.

先前的報導還表明，新任命的 SEC 代理主席與共和黨委員 Hester Peirce 預計最早將於本週率先在 SEC 進行加密貨幣政策改革。

This overhaul could include halting new enforcement actions against crypto firms that are not accused of fraud or harm and have failed to register with the commission.

此次改革可能包括停止針對未被指控欺詐或損害且未在委員會註冊的加密貨幣公司的新執法行動。

Moreover, it could entail a review of all cases currently in active litigation regarding the issue, including those against Coinbase, Kraken, and Ripple.

此外，它可能需要對目前正在針對該問題進行訴訟的所有案件進行審查，包括針對 Coinbase、Kraken 和 Ripple 的案件。

While leading the SEC, Uyeda has also expressed a desire to ease regulatory burdens that prevent companies from going public and to prioritize capital formation and innovation, all while protecting investors from fraud.

在領導 SEC 的同時，Uyeda 也表示希望減輕阻礙公司上市的監管負擔，並優先考慮資本形成和創新，同時保護投資者免受詐欺。

Commenting on the appointment, Akio Lang, head of BizDev at Qstarlabs_ai, expressed optimism, stating, "His selection signals priority shift at SEC. Career expertise over political theater bodes well for market clarity."

Qstarlabs_ai 的 BizDev 主管 Akio Lang 在評論這一任命時表示樂觀，他表示：“他的選擇標誌著 SEC 的優先事項發生了轉變。職業專業知識超過了政治戲劇，這預示著市場的清晰度。”

Meanwhile, Jeremy Hogan highlighted the commencement of a new era with Uyeda's appointment. "And just like that, the Gensler SEC ends and a a new one begins; a new SEC which promises to create better rules for the digital asset space and focus on fraud and true investor protection. Uyeda will be acting Chair until the new Chair is confirmed – maybe in March or April," Hogan noted.

與此同時，傑里米·霍根 (Jeremy Hogan) 強調了烏耶達 (Uyeda) 的任命開啟了一個新時代。 「就像這樣，Gensler SEC 結束了，新的SEC 開始了；一個新的SEC 承諾為數位資產領域制定更好的規則，並專注於欺詐和真正的投資者保護。Uyeda 將擔任代理主席，直到新主席得到確認。

Before joining the SEC, Uyeda worked for former U.S. Senator Pat Toomey on the Senate Banking Committee and was previously appointed by former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as a top advisor to the state's securities regulator.

在加入美國證券交易委員會之前，烏耶達曾在參議院銀行委員會為美國前參議員帕特·圖米工作，此前還被前加州州長阿諾德·施瓦辛格任命為該州證券監管機構的高級顧問。

He has also publicly dissented on SEC enforcement actions, such as a settlement with the blank-check company that facilitated Trump's media company's initial public offering.

他也公開反對美國證券交易委員會的執法行動，例如與促進川普媒體公司首次公開募股的空白支票公司達成的和解。
