SEC创建加密特遣部队来详细说明新的监管议程

在乔·拜登（Joe Biden）总统政府任职的前美国证券交易委员会主席加里·贡斯勒（Gary Gensler）已暂时取代了SEC专员Mark Uyeda

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, has created a Crypto Task Force with a page on its website detailing the agency’s new crypto regulatory agenda under its current leadership in President Donald Trump’s second administration.

美国证券交易委员会SEC在其网站上的页面上创建了一个加密货币工作组，详细介绍了该机构在唐纳德·特朗普总统第二届政府中的现任领导下的新加密监管议程。

Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler who served in President Joe Biden’s government has been temporarily replaced by SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda, a Republican, who will serve as the agency’s acting chair until President Trump installs a permanent chair.

在乔·拜登（Joe Biden）总统政府任职的前SEC主席加里·贡斯勒（Gary Gensler）暂时取代了共和党的SEC专员马克·乌耶达（Mark Uyeda），他将担任该机构的代理主席，直到特朗普总统担任常任主席为止。

An American attorney and government official, Uyeda has served as a Commissioner of the SEC since June 30, 2022. He is the first Asian Pacific American to serve as an SEC Commissioner. Earlier, Uyeda served on the staff of the SEC for more than 15 years.

自2022年6月30日以来，UYEDA是美国律师和政府官员，一直担任SEC的专员。他是第一位担任SEC专员的亚裔美国人。早些时候，Uyeda在SEC的工作人员任职超过15年。

As SEC chairman, President Trump has nominated Paul Atkins, an American businessman who served on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2002 to 2008. Since then, Atkins has worked as the CEO of his consulting firm, Patomak Global Partners. Its clients include banks, crypto companies and securities markets participants, and Atkins is known as a crypt-backer.

作为SEC主席，特朗普总统提名了美国商人保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins），他是2002年至2008年在美国证券交易委员会任职的美国商人。从那时起，阿特金斯（Atkins）担任其咨询公司Patomak Global Partners的首席执行官。它的客户包括银行，加密公司和证券市场的参与者，而阿特金斯被称为隐藏式支持者。

While Republicans are supportive of the nomination, Senate Democrats have issues with Atkins’ private ventures into cryptocurrency.

尽管共和党人支持提名，但参议院民主党人与阿特金斯（Atkins）的私人企业涉及加密货币有问题。

On December 04, 2024, the day on which President-elect Trump named Atkins to serve as the SEC Chair, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who is the now the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, issued a wary statement showing her strong interest in protecting consumers.

2024年12月4日，当天当选特朗普总统任命阿特金斯担任SEC主席的那一天，美国参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren对保护消费者的兴趣。

“The U.S. stock market is the envy of the world precisely because the SEC promotes safe and transparent markets that protect investors from getting cheated, so I’m concerned about putting at the helm of the SEC a Wall Street lobbyist whose main contribution during the last financial crisis was to protest fines against the giant corporations that defrauded investors,” Senator Warren said.

“美国股票市场之所以嫉妒世界，这是因为SEC促进了保护投资者免于被骗的安全透明市场，因此我担心戴上SEC的掌舵人华尔街游说者，其主要贡献在上一位中的主要贡献金融危机是为了抗议欺骗投资者的巨头公司。”参议员沃伦说。

“I look forward to meeting with Paul Atkins to ask about his potential conflicts of interest and his commitment to serving the American people,” the senator said.

参议员说：“我期待与保罗·阿特金斯会面，询问他的潜在利益冲突以及他对为美国人民服务的承诺。”

Atkins’ Senate hearing has yet to be scheduled. Meanwhile, SEC Commissioner Uyeda will lead the agency and SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce will lead the new Crypto Task Force.

阿特金斯的参议院听证会尚未安排。同时，SEC专员UYEDA将领导该机构，SEC专员Hester Peirce将领导新的加密特遣工作队。

“I look forward to the efforts of Commissioner Peirce to lead regulatory policy on crypto, which involves multiple SEC divisions and offices,” Acting Chairman Uyeda said.

代理主席Uyeda说：“我期待着Peirce专员为领导加密政策的努力，该政策涉及多个SEC部门和办公室。”

“This undertaking will take time, patience, and much hard work. It will succeed only if the Task Force has input from a wide range of investors, industry participants, academics, and other interested parties. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with the public to foster a regulatory environment that protects investors, facilitates capital formation, fosters market integrity, and supports innovation,” Commissioner Peirce said.

“这项工作将需要时间，耐心和辛勤工作。只有在工作队获得了广泛的投资者，行业参与者，学者和其他兴趣方面的意见，它才能成功。我们期待与公众携手合作，以促进保护投资者，促进资本形成，促进市场诚信并支持创新的监管环境，” Peirce专员说。

The Task Force anticipates holding roundtables in the future, but in the meantime welcomes public input at Crypto@sec.gov.

该工作队预计将来会持有圆桌会议，但同时欢迎公众通过crypto@sec.gov进行公开意见。

The legal commenters at JD Supra say the crypto task force points to a move away from the SEC’s previous “enforcement-driven stance on cryptocurrency.”

JD Supra的法律评论者说，加密特遣部队指出，偏离了SEC先前的“加密货币执行驱动的立场”。

Commissioner Peirce said in a statement that she “aims to address long-standing regulatory confusion that has plagued the crypto industry in recent memory. Under prior leadership, the SEC frequently pursued enforcement actions without providing clear guidelines, leaving crypto projects uncertain about compliance.”

皮尔斯专员在一份声明中说，她“旨在解决困扰最近记忆中加密货币行业的长期监管混乱。在先前的领导下，SEC经常在没有提供明确指导方针的情况下采取执法行动，使Crypto项目对合规性不确定。”

Peirce has been a critic of this approach, arguing that the SEC’s inconsistent treatment of crypto assets has stifled innovation and forced companies to operate in a legal gray area, or leave the United States altogether.

Peirce一直是对这种方法的批评，认为SEC对加密资产的不一致待遇已经扼杀了创新，并迫使公司在合法的灰色地区开展业务，或者完全离开美国。

Cryptocurrencies, such as the popular Bitcoin, are networks built on the blockchain, a financial ledger formatted in a sequence of individual blocks, each containing transaction data, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

根据马萨诸塞州技术研究所的数据，加密货币（例如受欢迎的比特币）是建立在区块链上的网络，该网络是一种以一系列单独的区块进行格式化的财务分类帐，每个都包含交易数据。

These networks are decentralized, meaning there are no banks or organizations to manage funds and balances, so users join forces to store and verify the transactions.

这些网络是分散的，这意味着没有银行或组织来管理资金和余额，因此用户联手存储和验证交易。

But, MIT warns, decentralization leads to a scalability problem. To join a cryptocurrency, new users must download and store all transaction data from hundreds of thousands of individual blocks. They must also store these data to use the service and help verify transactions. This makes the process slow or computationally impractical for some.

但是，麻省理工学院警告说，权力下放会导致一个可伸缩性问题。要加入加密货币，新用户必须从数十万个单独的块中下载并存储所有交易数据。他们还必须存储这些数据以使用该服务并帮助验证交易。这使得该过程对于某些人来说是缓慢或计算上不切实际的。

“First,” Peirce explained in a February 4 statement entitled, “The Journey Begins,” that “despite now being charged with leading the SEC’s new Crypto Task Force, the views that I express are my own as a Commissioner and not necessarily those of the SEC or my fellow Commissioners. Commission positions always require a vote of the Commission.”

“首先，”皮尔斯在2月4日的一份题为“旅程开始”的声明中解释说：“尽管现在被指控领导SEC新的加密特遣部队，但我表达的观点是我自己的专员，而不一定是那些专员SEC或我的专员。委员会职位始终需要委员会的投票。”

“It took us a long time to get into this mess, and it is going to take us some time to get out of it,” Peirce warned. “The Commission has engaged with the crypto industry in one form or another for more than a decade. The first bitcoin exchange

皮尔斯警告说：“我们花了很长时间才陷入困境，这将花费我们一些时间才能摆脱困境。” “十多年来，委员会以一种或另一种形式与加密货币行业互动。第一个比特币交换
