行业评论家加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 辞去美国金融监管机构职务后，加密货币大幅上涨

周五上午，比特币延续近期涨势，首次触及 99,500 美元（79,463 英镑）。

Cryptocurrencies rose sharply on Friday after one of the industry’s biggest critics said he would stand down as the head of the US financial regulator when president-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated in January.

加密货币周五大幅上涨，此前该行业最大的批评者之一表示，他将在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普一月份就职时辞去美国金融监管机构负责人的职务。

In a post on Medium, Gensler confirmed he would resign from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 20 January.

Gensler 在 Medium 上发帖证实，他将于 1 月 20 日辞去美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 职务。

Trump had previously said he intended to fire Gensler on “day one” of his presidency after the chair of the SEC took legal action against cryptocurrency trading platforms and a cryptocurrency exchange.

特朗普此前曾表示，在美国证券交易委员会主席对加密货币交易平台和加密货币交易所采取法律行动后，他打算在就任总统的“第一天”解雇詹斯勒。

“I thank President Biden for entrusting me with this incredible responsibility,” Gensler wrote in the post on Medium.

“我感谢拜登总统赋予我这一令人难以置信的责任，”詹斯勒在 Medium 上的帖子中写道。

Gensler was appointed chair of the SEC in 2021 and immediately called on Congress to give him more powers to regulate the “wild west” crypto-sector, saying that it was “rife with fraud, scams and abuse”.

Gensler 于 2021 年被任命为 SEC 主席，并立即呼吁国会赋予他更多权力来监管“狂野的西部”加密货币行业，称该行业“充斥着欺诈、诈骗和滥用行为”。

Bitcoin extended its recent rally on Friday morning, hitting $99,500 (£79,463) for the first time. Ether rose more than 7% in the last 24 hours, while the “meme coin” doge rose 2%.

周五上午，比特币延续近期涨势，首次触及 99,500 美元（79,463 英镑）。以太坊在过去 24 小时内上涨超过 7%，而“meme coin”doge 上涨了 2%。

According to the digital currency news site CoinDesk, the total market capitalisation of crypto coins is now a record $3.4tn, having added 4.5% in the past 24 hours.

根据数字货币新闻网站 CoinDesk 的数据，加密货币的总市值目前已达到创纪录的 3.4 兆美元，在过去 24 小时内增加了 4.5%。

Officially, Gensler’s five-year term at the SEC was meant to run until 2026, however it has become common practice for the chair to leave when the presidency changes.

按照官方规定，Gensler 在 SEC 的五年任期原定持续到 2026 年，但随着主席职位的变动，主席辞职已成为常见做法。

Under Gensler, the SEC pushed through rules seeking to bring more transparency to markets and improve corporate disclosure.

在詹斯勒的领导下，美国证券交易委员会推动了一系列规则，旨在提高市场透明度并改善公司信息披露。

However, he had a number of legal defeats in his attempt to tighten regulation. On the day he announced his resignation, a federal court in Texas threw out the SEC’s new rules for the $27tn US Treasury market, finding that the regulator had exceeded its authority.

然而，他在加强监管的尝试中遭遇了多次法律失败。在他宣布辞职的当天，德克萨斯州一家联邦法院驳回了 SEC 针对 27 万亿美元美国国债市场的新规则，认为监管机构超越了其职权。

“The SEC has met our mission and enforced the law without fear or favor,” Gensler said in his Medium post on Thursday.

“美国证券交易委员会已经完成了我们的使命，并在没有恐惧或偏袒的情况下执行了法律，”Gensler 周四在他的 Medium 帖子中表示。

Trump holds more pro-crypto views and the value of cryptocurrencies have been rising since he won the US election. Crypto firms have donated at least $119m to congressional candidates they think will pass legislation that is more favorable to their aims.

特朗普持有更多支持加密货币的观点，自他赢得美国大选以来，加密货币的价值一直在上涨。加密货币公司已向他们认为将通过更有利于其目标的立法的国会候选人捐赠了至少 1.19 亿美元。

In his time as SEC chair, Gensler’s regulatory efforts also included new standards for climate disclosures and cybersecurity and market changes.

在担任 SEC 主席期间，Gensler 的监管工作还包括气候披露、网络安全和市场变化的新标准。

However, a US appeals court threw out rules that would have forced private equity and hedge funds to increase transparency. A series of lawsuits also prompted the SEC to halt a measure that for the first time would have required companies to disclose their climate risks.

然而，美国一家上诉法院推翻了迫使私募股权和对冲基金提高透明度的规则。一系列诉讼还促使美国证券交易委员会停止一项首次要求公司披露其气候风险的措施。

Trump will nominate Gensler’s successor and is expected to appoint someone who will seek to deregulate and potentially discard rules proposed by the outgoing SEC chair but not yet finalised.

特朗普将提名詹斯勒的继任者，预计任命的人将寻求放松监管，并可能放弃即将离任的 SEC 主席提出但尚未最终确定的规则。

In remarks made before Gensler’s resignation announcement, Ken Griffin, the billionaire founder of the hedge fund Citadel, said: “Over the last four years, there were a number of rule changes proposed where, to be blunt, it’s like: ‘What problem are we trying to solve?’”

对冲基金 Citadel 的亿万富翁创始人肯·格里芬 (Ken Griffin) 在詹斯勒宣布辞职之前发表的讲话中表示：“在过去四年中，提出了许多规则变更，坦率地说，就像是：‘问题是什么？我们试图解决这个问题？”

“Much of Gensler’s agenda will not survive, in my opinion, the next four years. Between the courts and a new SEC, we’re going to see a rollback of the regulatory onslaught,” Griffin told the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.

“我认为，詹斯勒的大部分议程在未来四年内将无法延续。在法院和新的 SEC 之间，我们将看到监管冲击的回落，”格里芬周四对纽约经济俱乐部表示。

The Trump transition team is reportedly considering Teresa Goody Guillén, a securities lawyer, to lead the SEC, according to CoinDesk.

据 CoinDesk 报道，特朗普过渡团队正在考虑证券律师 Teresa Goody Guillén 来领导 SEC。

She is the co-leader of the blockchain team at the law firm BakerHostetler, and has defended crypto firms and individuals facing investigations and enforcement actions brought by the SEC.

她是 BakerHostetler 律师事务所区块链团队的联合负责人，并为面临 SEC 调查和执法行动的加密货币公司和个人进行辩护。
