特朗普领导下的 ETH 持有者最终会得到 SEC 的澄清吗？

以太坊是以太坊区块链的原生代币，尚未被美国证券交易委员会（SEC）明确认定为商品

The status of Ether (CRYPTO: ETH) as a commodity is yet to be specifically identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, despite the regulator approving several Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this year.

尽管美国证券交易委员会今年批准了几只以太坊交易所交易基金（ETF），但以太坊（加密货币：ETH）作为商品的地位尚未得到美国证券交易委员会的具体确定。

Now, with president-elect Donald Trump set to enter the White House early next year, will ETH holders finally get the clarity they have been asking for?

现在，随着当选总统唐纳德·特朗普将于明年初入主白宫，ETH 持有者最终会得到他们一直要求的明确答案吗？

What Happened: Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse raised the matter in his congratulatory statement for Trump on Wednesday.

发生了什么：Ripple 首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 在周三向特朗普发表的祝贺声明中提出了此事。

While the removal of SEC Chair Gary Gensler is at the top of Garlinghouse’s “fodder” list for Trump's first 100 days in office, he also highlighted the need for clarity on Ethereum.

虽然 SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 的免职是加林豪斯 (Garlinghouse) 在特朗普上任 100 天的“素材”清单中的首要任务，但他也强调了澄清以太坊问题的必要性。

"And last but not least, can we get some clarity ... similar to XRP and BTC (Bitcoin), that ETH is not a security, right?!" Garlinghouse wrote.

“最后但并非最不重要的一点是，我们能否澄清一下……与 XRP 和 BTC（比特币）类似，ETH 不是一种证券，对吗？！”加林豪斯写道。

ETH Price Action: At the time of writing, ETH price is up 5.5% over the past 24 hours and 20.2% over the past seven days. The apex crypto trades at $1,825.

ETH 价格走势：截至撰写本文时，ETH 价格在过去 24 小时内上涨了 5.5%，在过去 7 天内上涨了 20.2%。 Apex 加密货币交易价格为 1,825 美元。

Over the past 24 hours, ETH prices have been pulled up by Bitcoin’s rally to new all-time highs. Bitcoin price is up 3.5% over the past 24 hours and 13.5% over the past seven days.

在过去的 24 小时内，ETH 价格因比特币的上涨而被拉升至历史新高。比特币价格在过去 24 小时内上涨了 3.5%，在过去 7 天内上涨了 13.5%。

The rally in both BTC and ETH prices comes amid a broader market rally in the U.S. with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallying over 400 points on Tuesday.

BTC 和 ETH 价格上涨之际，美国市场整体上涨，道琼斯工业平均指数周二上涨超过 400 点。

The SEC Under Gensler: The SEC, under Gensler, has refused to provide clarity regarding Ether's status. Gensler repeatedly refused to directly answer lawmakers' questions on the crypto asset's status during Congress hearings.

Gensler 领导下的 SEC：Gensler 领导下的 SEC 拒绝澄清有关 Ether 的状况。 Gensler 在国会听证会上多次拒绝直接回答立法者有关加密资产状态的问题。

Following a legal filing by Consensys to reveal that the SEC already recognized Ethereum as a security last year — before Gensler was first asked by Congress to clarify the matter — the SEC chair continued to dodge ETH-related questions.

在 Consensys 提交法律文件显示 SEC 去年已经承认以太坊为证券之后——在国会首次要求 Gensler 澄清此事之前——SEC 主席继续回避与 ETH 相关的问题。

In June, the Wall Street regulator dropped its investigation into the Ethereum blockchain but highlighted that the battle isn’t over.

六月，华尔街监管机构放弃了对以太坊区块链的调查，但强调战斗尚未结束。

The SEC said that its notice regarding the conclusion of its Ethereum probe "must in no way be construed as indicating that the party has been exonerated or that no action may ultimately result from the staff's investigation."

美国证券交易委员会表示，其关于以太坊调查结论的通知“绝不能被解释为表明该方已被证明无罪，或者工作人员的调查最终可能不会采取任何行动。”

However, for some industry experts, the SEC already implicitly acknowledged that ETH is a commodity.

然而，对于一些行业专家来说，SEC 已经含蓄地承认 ETH 是一种商品。

"If the SEC is now allowing ETH ETFs, and they have already deemed BTC and XRP as commodities, then it stands to reason that ETH is also a commodity," a crypto lawyer told Benzinga.

一位加密货币律师告诉 Benzinga：“如果 SEC 现在允许 ETH ETF，并且他们已经将 BTC 和 XRP 视为商品，那么按理说 ETH 也是一种商品。”

"The SEC is being very careful not to explicitly state this, but their actions speak louder than words."

“美国证券交易委员会非常小心，没有明确声明这一点，但他们的行动胜于雄辩。”

The ETH community wants specific identification from the SEC, something Gensler refused to provide in a CNBC interview just a week before Ethereum ETFs were approved.

ETH 社区希望获得 SEC 的具体身份证明，但就在以太坊 ETF 获得批准前一周，Gensler 在接受 CNBC 采访时拒绝提供这一信息。

Trump On Crypto: Trump has only spoken about Bitcoin, and broadly, the crypto industry. He has signaled support for BTC mining, but has not yet mentioned other altcoins such as ETH or Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) and XRP.

特朗普谈加密货币：特朗普只谈到了比特币，以及更广泛的加密行业。他已表示支持 BTC 挖矿，但尚未提及其他山寨币，例如 ETH 或 Solana（加密货币：SOL）和 XRP。

On the other hand, many industry analysts and observers believe crypto will fare better under a Trump presidency, and while it is unclear whether he can legally "fire" Gensler, he may trigger some changes within the agency.

另一方面，许多行业分析师和观察家认为，在特朗普担任总统期间，加密货币将会表现得更好，虽然尚不清楚他是否可以合法地“解雇”Gensler，但他可能会引发该机构内部的一些变化。

In turn, such reforms may lead to clarity for Ethereum's status once and for all.

反过来，此类改革可能会一劳永逸地明确以太坊的地位。
