随着另一位关键人物的辞职，美国证券交易委员会的反加密货币立场动摇

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 委员 Jaime Lizárraga 宣布打算于 2025 年 1 月 17 日辞去该机构职务。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is facing another key resignation as Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga announced his intention to step down on Jan. 17, 2025.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 正面临另一次重大辞职，委员 Jaime Lizárraga 宣布打算于 2025 年 1 月 17 日辞职。

Lizárraga's departure follows that of SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who announced his resignation earlier this month, paving the way for a potential shift in the agency's stance towards the cryptocurrency industry.

Lizárraga 离职之前，SEC 主席加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 于本月初宣布辞职，这为该机构对加密货币行业立场的潜在转变铺平了道路。

Gensler's tenure was marked by a stringent regulatory approach towards crypto, initiating enforcement actions against major exchanges.

Gensler 的任期以对加密货币采取严格的监管措施为标志，并对主要交易所发起了执法行动。

In a statement on Friday, Lizárraga said his decision to leave the agency was driven by family priorities, particularly his wife Kelly's health challenges.

利扎拉加在周五的一份声明中表示，他离开该机构的决定是出于家庭优先事项，特别是他妻子凯利的健康挑战。

“Until my departure in January, I will remain fully engaged in the Commission's ongoing work and activities,” he said. “I don't yet know what comes next, but I do know that it has been a great honor to serve as SEC Commissioner.”

“在我一月份离职之前，我将继续全力参与委员会正在进行的工作和活动，”他说。 “我还不知道接下来会发生什么，但我确实知道担任 SEC 专员是我的荣幸。”

After 34 years in public service, he said it was time to focus on his family's future and expressed hope for Kelly's full recovery. He thanked President Joe Biden for nominating him to the role.

在从事公共服务 34 年后，他表示是时候关注家人的未来了，并表示希望凯利能够完全康复。他感谢乔·拜登总统提名他担任这一职务。

Lizárraga went on to praise Gensler for his “exceptional leadership” and thanked his fellow commissioners for their “collaborative spirit.”

利扎拉加接着赞扬詹斯勒的“卓越领导力”，并感谢其他委员的“合作精神”。

“The Commission plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of our capital markets and significant achievements were realized under Chair Gensler's agenda,” he added.

“委员会在维护我们资本市场的完整性方面发挥着关键作用，在詹斯勒主席的议程下取得了重大成就，”他补充道。

Gensler's resignation will coincide with President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025. During his campaign, Trump pledged to remove Gensler and foster a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment.

Gensler 的辞职将与当选总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 于 2025 年 1 月 20 日就职典礼同时发生。特朗普在竞选期间承诺罢免 Gensler，并营造一个对加密货币更加友好的监管环境。

The SEC has five commissioners, including the Chair. Two Commissioners, Hester M. Peirce and Mark T. Uyeda, are Republicans, while Caroline A. Crenshaw and Lizárraga are Democrats.

SEC 有五名委员，其中包括主席。两位委员海丝特·M·皮尔斯 (Hester M. Peirce) 和马克·T·乌耶达 (Mark T. Uyeda) 是共和党人，而卡罗琳·A·克伦肖 (Caroline A. Crenshaw) 和利扎拉加 (Lizárraga) 是民主党人。

Lizárraga has been an advocate for stronger regulation of the cryptocurrency market, which he said remained largely unregulated and posed unique risks and challenges.

Lizárraga 一直主张加强对加密货币市场的监管，他表示加密货币市场在很大程度上仍不受监管，并带来了独特的风险和挑战。

Following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX in November 2022, he agreed with Gensler that most crypto tokens should be treated as securities and argued that the problems in the digital asset market were “even greater” than those in traditional finance.

2022 年 11 月加密货币交易所 FTX 倒闭后，他同意 Gensler 的观点，即大多数加密代币应被视为证券，并认为数字资产市场的问题比传统金融领域的问题“甚至更大”。

In January, he voted against the SEC's approval of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). During a November 2022 keynote at Brooklyn Law School, Lizárraga also expressed doubts about cryptocurrency's ability to deliver on financial inclusivity, stating it had yet to provide meaningful inclusivity or adequate investor protections.

一月份，他投票反对美国证券交易委员会批准现货比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）。在 2022 年 11 月布鲁克林法学院的主题演讲中，Lizárraga 还对加密货币实现金融包容性的能力表示怀疑，表示它尚未提供有意义的包容性或充分的投资者保护。

On the other hand, Trump has embraced cryptocurrency, pledging to establish the U.S. as the “crypto capital of the planet” and proposing the creation of a national bitcoin reserve. He has also nominated a pro-crypto Treasury Secretary.

另一方面，特朗普拥抱了加密货币，承诺将美国打造为“地球加密之都”，并提议建立国家比特币储备。他还提名了一位支持加密货币的财政部长。
