加密货币社区庆祝特朗普就职，结束四年的“恐怖”

After years of regulatory “harassment” under the Biden administration — as one notable investor described it to NYNext — the cryptocurrency community is celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration as the end to a four-year “terror,” and heralding significant policy reversal aimed at legitimizing the industry.

正如一位著名投资者向 NYNext 描述的那样，在拜登政府多年的监管“骚扰”之后，加密货币社区正在庆祝唐纳德·特朗普的就职，作为四年“恐怖”的结束，并预示着旨在使加密货币合法化的重大政策逆转。行业。

This shift is marked by the appointment of crypto-friendly officials like David Sacks as AI and crypto czar and the nomination of Paul Atkins for SEC Chair, plus the promise of day-one executive orders that will create a Bitcoin reserve and end debanking.

这一转变的标志是任命大卫·萨克斯（David Sacks）等对加密货币友好的官员担任人工智能和加密货币沙皇，提名保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）担任美国证券交易委员会（SEC）主席，并承诺在第一天发布行政命令，创建比特币储备并结束银行业务。

“The entire market is relieved … we have a seismic shift in the approach and tone of the government and regulatory agencies,” Frank Chaparro, an early Bitcoin investor and director of special projects at crypto news site The Block, said. “What this means practically is, banks will be able to touch crypto — for the last four years they’ve been told they can’t.”

“整个市场都松了一口气……政府和监管机构的做法和基调发生了巨大的转变，”比特币早期投资者、加密货币新闻网站 The Block 特别项目总监弗兰克·查帕罗 (Frank Chaparro) 表示。 “这实际上意味着，银行将能够接触加密货币——在过去的四年里，他们被告知不能接触加密货币。”

Simply ending debanking — or refusing to work with clients because of their crypto connection — could be enough to help the industry flourish, sources say.

消息人士称，简单地结束去银行化——或者因为客户与加密货币的联系而拒绝与客户合作——可能足以帮助该行业蓬勃发展。

“All those banks who worked with cryptocurrencies faced regulatory harassment,” Nic Carter, a crypto investor at Castle Island Ventures who raised alarm bells about Biden’s debanking efforts told NYNext.

Castle Island Ventures 的加密货币投资者尼克·卡特 (Nic Carter) 对拜登的去银行业努力敲响了警钟。

Carter has labeled Biden’s so-called debanking efforts “Operation Chokepoint 2.0” — a reference to the Obama Administration’s Operation Chokepoint, which aimed to crack down on illicit activity, like drug sales, but ended up going after legal businesses like firearms dealers.

卡特将拜登所谓的去银行行动称为“阻塞点行动2.0”——指的是奥巴马政府的阻塞点行动，该行动旨在打击毒品销售等非法活动，但最终却打击了枪支经销商等合法企业。

Under the Biden administration, banks were told by regulators at the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) not to work with cryptocurrency companies, which handicapped the industry. Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen described the administration’s action as “terrorizing” startups — and said in an interview with Joe Rogan last month that banks were pushed to debank 30 startups in which he invested.

在拜登政府领导下，联邦存款保险公司（FDIC）的监管机构告诉银行不要与加密货币公司合作，这阻碍了该行业的发展。风险投资家马克·安德森 (Marc Andreessen) 将政府的行动描述为“恐吓”初创公司，并在上个月接受乔·罗根 (Joe Rogan) 采访时表示，银行被迫取消了他投资的 30 家初创公司的银行账户。

“It’s a privatized sanctions regime,” Andreesen said.

“这是一个私有化的制裁制度，”安德森说。

“Banks never tell you why they’re debanking you,” Carter adds. “They may communicate verbally that there are reputational risks, but the conversation is so obscure.”

“银行永远不会告诉你为什么他们要取消你的银行账户，”卡特补充道。 “他们可能口头上表示存在声誉风险，但谈话内容却如此晦涩难懂。”

This situation resulted in crypto startups moving offshore or never launching in the first place.

这种情况导致加密货币初创公司转向海外或从未启动。

With just that change alone, Carter predicts a crypto startup renaissance: “All the startups that left are coming back [to the US] … this was the number one thing crypto people wanted to change.”

仅凭这一变化，卡特就预测加密初创公司将会复兴：“所有离开的初创公司都会回到[美国]……这是加密货币人们想要改变的第一件事。”

And there are already some early signs of that happening, sources add.

消息人士补充说，这种情况已经出现了一些早期迹象。

Dennis Dinkelmeyer, the founder and CEO of European-based cryptocurrency investment firm Midas, told NYNext that he is considering launching in the US this year.

欧洲加密货币投资公司 Midas 的创始人兼首席执行官 Dennis Dinkelmeyer 告诉 NYNext，他正在考虑今年在美国推出该业务。

“Founders across the market are looking to make a comeback or expand into the US for the first time in four years,” Dinkelmeyer said. “Excitement is returning and you see this in recent news of big projects such as TON [Midas’ crypto bank on the blockchain] pushing into the stateside market for the first time.”

丁克梅尔表示：“整个市场的创始人四年来首次寻求卷土重来或进军美国。” “兴奋正在回归，你可以在最近关于 TON（Midas 区块链上的加密货币银行）等大型项目首次进军美国市场的消息中看到这一点。”

During his administration, Biden appointed officials who tried to crack down on the industry — passing laws that make it difficult for traditional institutions to hold cryptocurrency. Lawmakers and regulators saw the industry, which remains wildly speculative, as something to be tamped down rather than grown carefully, sources explain.

在他执政期间，拜登任命了试图打击该行业的官员，通过了使传统机构难以持有加密货币的法律。消息人士解释说，立法者和监管机构认为这个仍然充满投机性的行业应该受到抑制，而不是小心翼翼地发展。

While they acknowledge there is risk involved, these people want to see rules that at least make it possible for crypto companies to operate and grow in the US.

尽管他们承认存在风险，但这些人希望看到至少使加密货币公司能够在美国运营和发展的规则。

On Friday, Sacks will host the first-ever Crypto Ball in Washington, DC, kicking off a weekend of celebrations ahead of Trump’s inauguration on January 20. The black-tie event, with tickets ranging from $2,500 (and already sold out) to $1 million — which includes a private dinner with the president-elect — includes such sponsors as Coinbase, Solana, MicroStrategy, Kraken, Galaxy Digital and more.

周五，萨克斯将在华盛顿特区举办首届加密货币舞会，为 1 月 20 日特朗普就职典礼之前的周末庆祝活动拉开序幕。这场正式活动的门票价格从 2,500 美元（已售罄）到 1 美元不等百万美元——其中包括与当选总统的私人晚宴——包括 Coinbase、Solana、MicroStrategy、Kraken、Galaxy Digital 等赞助商。

Anthony Pompliano, Founder & CEO of Professional Capital Management, explains that, in the coming months, he is optimistic the Trump Administration will get into the minutiae of regulations and change accounting rules to make it easier to transact in Bitcoin.

Professional Capital Management 创始人兼首席执行官 Anthony Pompliano 解释说，在接下来的几个月里，他乐观地认为特朗普政府将深入研究监管细节并改变会计规则，以使比特币交易变得更容易。

While many in the cryptocurrency community have been cheering on the pro-crypto executive orders Trump is expected to issue, one idea is causing more controversy: the idea of an America-first strategic reserve that would prioritize digital coins founded in the US, like Solana, USD Coin and Ripple.

尽管加密货币社区的许多人一直在为特朗普预计发布的支持加密货币的行政命令欢呼，但有一个想法引起了更多争议：美国优先的战略储备的想法将优先考虑在美国建立的数字货币，例如 Solana 、美元硬币和瑞波币。

In recent weeks, Trump has met with the founders of these coins and, sources said, is receptive to the idea.

消息人士称，最近几周，特朗普会见了这些代币的创始人，并接受了这个想法。

Insiders, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, shared concerns that it could delegitimize efforts to promote Bitcoin, which is the asset they want to prioritize.

不愿透露姓名的内部人士也担心，这可能会使推广比特币的努力失去合法性，而比特币是他们想要优先考虑的资产。

But sources also told The Post that those fissures take a back seat to what they believe will become a crypto golden age.

但消息人士还告诉《华盛顿邮报》，这些分歧在他们认为将成为加密货币黄金时代的时代中退居二线。

Chaparro, for one, thinks Trump has already set a new tone for the industry: “It’s

查帕罗认为，特朗普已经为该行业定下了新基调：“
