美国证券交易委员会主席周三对加密货币的评论并没有鼓励业内任何人相信他应该在今年过去继续担任他的职务。
SEC Chair Gary Gensler's comments on cryptocurrency at an NYU event on Wednesday were widely criticized by people in the crypto industry, who pointed out several inaccuracies in his statements and expressed frustration with his lack of engagement with new technological developments.
美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 周三在纽约大学的一次活动上对加密货币的评论遭到了加密行业人士的广泛批评,他们指出了他的声明中的一些不准确之处,并对他缺乏对新技术发展的参与表示失望。
Gensler's statement that the leading lights of the crypto industry in 2024 are either in jail or awaiting extradition is demonstrably false. While several high-profile fraudsters, including FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, were arrested in 2022, most industry leaders remain at large and actively engaged in the space.
Gensler 声称 2024 年加密货币行业的领军人物要么入狱,要么等待引渡,这显然是错误的。尽管包括 FTX 创始人 Sam Bankman-Fried 在内的几位知名欺诈者于 2022 年被捕,但大多数行业领导者仍然逍遥法外,并积极参与该领域。
Despite the massive growth and evolution of the crypto sector, Gensler's comments on the Howey Test, which the SEC uses to determine whether a token offering is a security, suggest a lack of engagement with new market conditions. His statement that the Howey Test, which was established by the Supreme Court in 1940, still works fine for digital assets drew criticism from people who believe the SEC should be adapting its regulatory approach to keep pace with technological innovation.
尽管加密行业取得了巨大的增长和发展,Gensler 对 Howey 测试(美国证券交易委员会用来确定代币发行是否为证券)的评论表明,该测试缺乏对新市场条件的参与。他声称最高法院于 1940 年制定的豪伊测试仍然适用于数字资产,这一说法引起了一些人的批评,这些人认为 SEC 应该调整其监管方法以跟上技术创新的步伐。
Gensler's expansive comments on crypto, which stand in contrast to his typically cautious technocratic approach, and his failure to provide any clarity for crypto builders in the U.S. led to speculation that he may be preparing to leave his post. Several people in crypto expressed hope that Gensler's tenure, which SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda described as "a disaster for the whole [crypto] industry," will soon be coming to an end.
Gensler 对加密货币的广泛评论与他典型的谨慎技术官僚态度形成鲜明对比,而且他未能为美国的加密货币建设者提供任何明确的信息,导致人们猜测他可能准备离职。加密货币领域的几位人士表示,希望 Gensler 的任期能够很快结束,美国证券交易委员会委员 Mark Uyeda 称其为“整个(加密货币)行业的一场灾难”。
