美国 18 个州正在起诉美国证券交易委员会 (SEC)、其委员和 SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler)，声称该机构的加密货币监管执法过度且违反宪法。

Eighteen U.S. states are suing the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), its commissioners, and SEC Chair Gary Gensler over the agency's crypto regulation enforcement, which they claim is overreaching and unconstitutional.

美国 18 个州正在起诉美国证券交易委员会 (SEC)、其委员和 SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler)，指控该机构的加密货币监管执法过度且违宪。

The states allege that the SEC's regulatory actions impinge on their prerogatives to oversee local economic policy to the detriment of their economies.

各州声称，美国证券交易委员会的监管行动侵犯了它们监督当地经济政策的特权，从而损害了它们的经济。

This marks a significant escalation in tensions between federal regulators and state governments over digital asset regulations.

这标志着联邦监管机构和州政府之间围绕数字资产监管的紧张关系显着升级。

Citing the SEC's actions as being way beyond its authority, the states allege that the SEC has overstepped its boundaries.

各州称 SEC 的行为远远超出了其权限，声称 SEC 已经越界。

They say the SEC's enforcement actions, which they claim were not authorized by Congress, disrupt economic activity and innovation within state borders.

他们表示，美国证券交易委员会的执法行动（他们声称这些行动未经国会授权）扰乱了州境内的经济活动和创新。

Those states, which include Ohio, Kentucky, Texas, and West Virginia, contend that these actions hinder the growth of the crypto industry, which many see as essential to future economic development.

这些州，包括俄亥俄州、肯塔基州、德克萨斯州和西弗吉尼亚州，认为这些行为阻碍了加密行业的发展，而许多人认为加密行业对未来的经济发展至关重要。

Moreover, state officials believe that federal securities laws applied to digital assets must be updated to serve the unique characteristics of the crypto market and that state-level regulations would better protect consumers.

此外，州官员认为，适用于数字资产的联邦证券法必须进行更新，以适应加密货币市场的独特特征，州级法规将更好地保护消费者。

The lawsuit argues that states must be left to regulate the sector themselves.

该诉讼认为，必须由各州自行监管该行业。

The lawsuit comes amid growing criticism from the cryptocurrency sector, which views the SEC's regulatory approach as unclear.

该诉讼发生之际，加密货币行业的批评越来越多，该行业认为 SEC 的监管方式不明确。

Industry leaders have long been concerned that the SEC's ramped-up actions are stifling innovation and threatening the U.S.'s ability to remain at the forefront of global digital finance.

行业领导者长期以来一直担心美国证券交易委员会加大力度的行动正在扼杀创新并威胁美国保持全球数字金融前沿的能力。

They say the SEC's actions are harming the industry and consumers. The plaintiffs allege that the SEC lacks clear crypto regulation guidelines in its approach to the business.

他们表示，美国证券交易委员会的行为正在损害行业和消费者的利益。原告声称，美国证券交易委员会在处理该业务时缺乏明确的加密货币监管指南。

Critics say the SEC has not yet issued a formal rule defining cryptocurrencies as a security, leaving a regulatory gray zone.

批评人士表示，美国证券交易委员会尚未发布将加密货币定义为证券的正式规则，留下了监管灰色地带。

According to them, this lack of clarity burdens digital asset businesses, making them less innovative. Some of them are also moving to other countries with a more favorable climate.

他们表示，这种不明确性给数字资产企业带来了负担，降低了它们的创新能力。他们中的一些人还搬到了气候更有利的其他国家。

The states push back against the SEC tactics, saying clear guidelines would help the industry and consumers.

各州对美国证券交易委员会的策略进行了反击，称明确的指导方针将有助于行业和消费者。

The crypto industry has often highlighted the promotion of digital assets in economic terms, and the need for regulatory frameworks that support the crypto industry is emphasized in many ways.

加密行业经常强调数字资产在经济方面的推广，并从多方面强调支持加密行业的监管框架的必要性。

Thus, the lawsuit asks the federal authorities to clarify their positions and engage in discussions with state officials to have a more even-handed approach.

因此，诉讼要求联邦当局澄清立场，并与州官员进行讨论，以采取更加公平的做法。
