Coinbase CEO Had Phone Call With Trump, crypto Industry Awaits Key Appointments

Coinbase首席执行官与特朗普通电话，加密行业等待关键任命

On Monday, Bitcoinist reported that President-elect Donald Trump was scheduled to have a private meeting with Brian Armstrong, the CEO of US-based crypto exchange Coinbase, expected to influence the landscape of cryptocurrency regulation in the United States.

周一，Bitcoinist 报道称，当选总统唐纳德·特朗普计划与美国加密货币交易所 Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 举行私人会议，预计这将影响美国加密货币监管格局。

Fortune confirmed on Tuesday that the discussion took place over a phone call, not a private meeting as originally reported. During the call, Armstrong, whose company has invested nearly $50 million in supporting pro-crypto candidates – including Trump – discussed broader issues surrounding crypto rather than specific appointments.

《财富》杂志周二证实，讨论是通过电话进行的，而不是最初报道的私人会议。阿姆斯特朗的公司已投资近 5000 万美元来支持包括特朗普在内的支持加密货币的候选人，在电话会议上，阿姆斯特朗讨论了有关加密货币的更广泛问题，而不是具体的任命。

There are also unverified reports circulating on social media that another prominent figure in the space, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, has had direct access to Trump. However, Ripple’s spokesperson has stated that the company does not discuss private conversations.

社交媒体上还有未经证实的报道称，该领域的另一位知名人物、Ripple Labs 首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 曾直接接触过特朗普。不过，Ripple 发言人表示，该公司不讨论私人对话。

According to sources familiar with the Trump-Armstrong call, the crypto industry is primarily focused on potential appointments to lead two key financial regulatory agencies: the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

据熟悉特朗普与阿姆斯特朗通话的消息人士透露，加密货币行业主要关注的是领导两个关键金融监管机构的潜在任命：证券交易委员会（SEC）和商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）。

Crypto Awaits Key Appointments At SEC And CFTC

加密货币等待 SEC 和 CFTC 的关键任命

“The SEC is where all the damage is being carried out,” said the source, whom Fortune identified as a prominent figure in Washington, D.C., referring to the numerous lawsuits brought by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.

“所有损害都是由美国证券交易委员会造成的，”《财富》杂志将其视为华盛顿特区的知名人士，他指的是美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 提起的众多诉讼。

With Gensler expected to leave by the end of the year, there is uncertainty regarding whether the agency will promptly dismiss many cases not directly related to fraud. The source indicated that an interim chair might be less inclined to take such action.

由于詹斯勒预计将于今年年底离职，因此该机构是否会立即驳回许多与欺诈不直接相关的案件存在不确定性。消息人士表示，临时主席可能不太愿意采取此类行动。

The CFTC could see an expanded role in overseeing digital assets if legislative changes occur that transfer some of the SEC’s regulatory powers to the commodities regulator.

如果立法发生变化，将 SEC 的部分监管权力转移给大宗商品监管机构，CFTC 可能会在数字资产监管方面发挥更大的作用。

According to Fortune, among the potential candidates to lead the CFTC are Summer Mersinger, a current commissioner, and Josh Sterling, a lawyer at Milbank who has frequently represented cases in the industry.

据《财富》杂志报道，CFTC 主席的潜在候选人包括现任委员萨默·默辛格 (Summer Mersinger) 和经常代理该行业案件的米尔班克 (Milbank) 律师乔什·斯特林 (Josh Sterling)。
