Chris Giancarlo，又名“加密爸爸”，是成为美国历史上第一位“加密货币沙皇”的有力竞争者

这位前公务员因在两年任期内致力于推进明确的法规而被称为“加密货币之父”

Former Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Chris Giancarlo, who is known as “Crypto Dad” due to his work in advancing clear regulations during his two-year tenure, is a serious contender to become the first-ever U.S. "Crypto Czar."

前商品期货交易委员会主席克里斯·吉安卡洛（Chris Giancarlo）因其在两年任期内推动明确监管的工作而被称为“加密货币之父”，是成为美国有史以来第一位“加密货币沙皇”的有力竞争者。

The new position is being weighed by President-elect Donald Trump, who has promised to make the United States the "crypto capital of the world."

当选总统唐纳德·特朗普正在权衡这一新立场，他承诺让美国成为“世界加密货币之都”。

Giancarlo, who is a key member of the Trump transition team, told The Block in an interview on Wednesday that he has already turned down positions running the CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission.

特朗普过渡团队的关键成员吉安卡洛在周三接受 The Block 采访时表示，他已经拒绝了商品期货交易委员会和证券交易委员会的职位。

“Trump has been very specific in laying out a series of initiatives to make the United States the crypto capital of the world,” said Giancarlo, referring to a July speech the once and future president made at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.

Giancarlo 表示：“特朗普非常具体地制定了一系列举措，使美国成为世界加密货币之都。”他指的是这位曾经的未来总统 7 月份在纳什维尔举行的比特币 2024 年会议上发表的演讲。

This includes “creating a strategic reserve of bitcoin to creating a Crypto Council to guaranteeing people's ability to have self-hosted wallets,” Giancarlo said. “In other areas he's talked about a capital gains exemption for gains on U.S. domestic cryptos. He's talked about ending the debanking of crypto — sometimes called Choke Point 2.0 — and the a passage of new rules and regulations out of the CFTC and the SEC as well as stablecoin legislation.”

Giancarlo 表示，这包括“创建比特币战略储备，创建加密委员会，以保证人们拥有自托管钱包的能力”。 “在其他领域，他谈到了美国国内加密货币收益的资本收益豁免。他谈到了结束加密货币的去银行化——有时被称为“Choke Point 2.0”——以及美国商品期货交易委员会和美国证券交易委员会通过的新规则和条例以及稳定币立法。​​”

Giancarlo added that crypto will be a “considerable priority” for the incoming administration. Although a former crypto skeptic, Trump cozied up to industry players over the past year while seeking reelection and has made a number of promises to improve the outlook for the crypto industry in the U.S.

Giancarlo 补充说，加密货币将成为即将上任的政府的“相当大的优先事项”。尽管特朗普曾经是一名加密货币怀疑论者，但他在过去一年里在寻求连任时与行业参与者讨好，并做出了许多改善美国加密行业前景的承诺

“As candidates go, they're often not very specific. I think Trump was remarkably specific about what he would do,” said Giancarlo, noting that the real estate magnate has surrounded himself with pro-crypto advocates like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

“作为候选人，他们往往不是很具体。我认为特朗普对于他要做什么非常具体。”Giancarlo 说道，并指出这位房地产巨头身边都是埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 和维韦克·拉马斯瓦米 (Vivek Ramaswamy) 等支持加密货币的支持者。

“The amount of attention and campaign contributions the crypto industry contributed this cycle is quite remarkable, and probably dispositive in a number of races,” Giancarlo said. “The fact that contributors like Fairshake [the pro-crypto SuperPAC backed by entities like Coinbase] have dry powder left over could contribute to the next cycle and will result in responsive policy.”

Giancarlo 表示：“加密货币行业在这个周期中所贡献的关注度和竞选贡献是相当显着的，并且可能在许多比赛中发挥决定性作用。” “Fairshake（由 Coinbase 等实体支持的支持加密货币的 SuperPAC）等贡献者留下的干粉可能会为下一个周期做出贡献，并将导致政策的响应。”

Indeed, a cohort of industry leaders strongly favored Trump’s reelection. In one instance, at least 18 donors gave more than $5.5 million in various tokens to the Trump 47 joint fundraising committee mere days before Election Day.

事实上，一批行业领袖强烈支持特朗普连任。其中一个例子是，就在选举日前几天，至少 18 名捐助者向特朗普 47 联合筹款委员会捐赠了超过 550 万美元的各种代币。

To some extent, Trump is already making good on his word to support crypto — perhaps partly because of his familial connections to blockchain projects like the decentralized lending protocol World Liberty Financial. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has reportedly met with the incoming president to help shape his crypto platform.

在某种程度上，特朗普已经兑现了他支持加密货币的承诺——或许部分原因是他与去中心化借贷协议 World Liberty Financial 等区块链项目的家族关系。据报道，Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 已与即将上任的总统会面，以帮助塑造他的加密平台。

Giancarlo said there’s an “existing gap right now” in crypto regulation, particularly in the spot market trading of the two largest cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and ether. He noted that he supported efforts by Senator Debbie Stabenow, chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, to give the CFTC authority over digital commodities markets.

Giancarlo 表示，加密货币监管“目前存在差距”，特别是在两种最大的加密货币比特币和以太坊的现货市场交易中。他指出，他支持参议院农业委员会主席、参议员黛比·斯塔贝诺 (Debbie Stabenow) 为赋予商品期货交易委员会管理数字商品市场的权力所做的努力。

“The CFTC has overseen more new product launches than almost any regulator in the world and certainly more than the SEC,” Giancarlo said. “The CFTC is a very capable and competent regulator and can handle that spot authority.”

“CFTC 监管的新产品发布数量几乎超过了世界上任何监管机构，当然也超过了 SEC，”Giancarlo 表示。 “美国商品期货交易委员会是一个非常有能力和称职的监管机构，可以处理现货授权。”

He added that the current SEC administration had dropped the ball on regulating crypto and that Chairman Gary Gensler should have “followed our example” of the CFTC actively engaging with the industry when Giancarlo was in charge. Giancarlo took over Gensler in leading the CFTC in 2018 and said he had to “clean up” his predecessor’s mess.

他补充说，现任 SEC 政府在监管加密货币方面失败了，主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 应该“效仿我们的榜样”，在吉安卡洛 (Giancarlo) 负责时，CFTC 积极参与该行业。 Giancarlo 于 2018 年接替 Gensler 领导 CFTC，并表示他必须“清理”前任留下的烂摊子。

“Gensler's unwillingness to engage with crypto has actually kept it at a less mature phase of its development,” Giancarlo said. “Ending the suppression is going to bring it to a more mature and more useful period of development.”

Giancarlo 表示：“Gensler 不愿意涉足加密货币领域，实际上使其处于不太成熟的发展阶段。” “结束压制将使其进入更成熟、更有用的发展时期。”

He rebutted Gensler’s claims that current securities rules should apply to crypto projects and companies. Giancarlo said there was a missed opportunity to create “procedures and policies tailored to crypto.”

他反驳了 Gensler 的主张，即当前的证券规则应适用于加密项目和公司。 Giancarlo 表示，错失了制定“针对加密货币的程序和政策”的机会。

“I've heard over and over again: 'same activity, same rules,’” said Giancarlo. “But that's actually not the way the SEC operates. There are different rules for municipal securities than there are for corporate debt. There are different rules for debt securities than there are for equity securities. There are different rules for private placements than there are for public offerings. The SEC has a long tradition of having tailored regulations.”

“我一遍又一遍地听到：‘同样的活动，同样的规则，’”吉安卡洛说。 “但这实际上不是 SEC 的运作方式。市政证券的规则与公司债务的规则不同。债务证券的规则与股本证券的规则不同。私募配售的规则与公开发行的规则不同。 SEC 有着制定量身定制法规的悠久传统。”

Apart from that, Gensler has also dramatically reduced the agency’s standing among the American public and federal court system through its “overreach on enforcement actions and litigation.” This includes when it was sanctioned for lying during a case it brought against a Utah-based crypto firm.

除此之外，詹斯勒还通过“过度执法行动和诉讼”，极大地降低了该机构在美国公共和联邦法院系统中的地位。这包括它因在针对犹他州一家加密货币公司提起的诉讼中撒谎而受到制裁。

“That did tremendous damage to the morale of the agency of earnest and hardworking federal employees who are embarrassed to be associated with an agency that would cut corners in order just to win cases

“这对该机构的士气造成了极大的打击，因为联邦雇员都是认真勤奋的，他们很尴尬与一个为了赢得案件而走捷径的机构有联系。
