总部位于美国的区块链协会首席执行官克里斯汀·史密斯（Kristin Smith）将离开最近成立的Solana政策研究所的加密货币倡导组织。

Kristin Smith, the CEO of the US-based Blockchain Association, will be leaving the cryptocurrency advocacy group for the recently launched Solana (SOL) Policy Institute.

总部位于美国区块链协会的首席执行官克里斯汀·史密斯（Kristin Smith）将离开最近启动的Solana（SOL）政策研究所的加密货币倡导小组。

The Blockchain Association (BA) said Smith will be stepping down from her role as CEO on May 16, according to an April 1 notice. The soon-to-be former CEO will become president of the Solana Policy Institute on May 19, the association added.

区块链协会（BA）表示，根据4月1日的通知，史密斯将于5月16日辞去首席执行官的职务。该协会补充说，即将成为前首席执行官将于5月19日成为索拉纳政策研究所的主席。

The association’s notice did not provide an apparent reason for the move to the Solana advocacy organization nor say who would lead the group after Smith’s departure. Cointelegraph reached out to the Blockchain Association for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.

该协会的通知没有提供明显的理由搬到索拉纳倡导组织，也没有说在史密斯离开后谁将领导该组织。 Cointelegraph与区块链协会联系以进行置评，但在发布时没有收到回应。

Smith, who has worked at the BA since 2018 and was deputy chief of staff for former Montana Representative Denny Rehberg, will follow DeFi Education Fund CEO Miller Whitehouse-Levine, leaving his position to join the Solana Policy Institute as CEO. According to Whitehouse-Levine, the organization plans to educate US policymakers on Solana.

史密斯（Smith）自2018年以来一直在学士学位工作，并担任前蒙大拿州代表丹尼·雷伯格（Denny Rehberg）的副参谋长，他将跟随Defi教育基金首席执行官Miller Whitehouse-Levine，离开他的职位，加入Solana政策研究所担任首席执行官。根据Whitehouse-Levine的说法，该组织计划对美国决策者进行有关Solana的教育。

The crypto advocacy group, which has members from the industry such as Coinbase, Ripple Labs and Chainlink Labs, has filed a lawsuit against the US Internal Revenue Service, challenging regulations requiring brokers to report crypto transactions. The group often criticized the US Securities and Exchange Commission under former chair Gary Gensler for its “regulation by enforcement” approach to crypto, resulting in steep legal fees for many companies.

加密倡导集团（Crypto Advocacy Group）拥有来自Coinbase，Ripple Labs和Chainlink Labs等行业的成员，已针对美国国税局提起诉讼，挑战了要求经纪人报告加密交易的法规。该组织经常批评前主席加里·盖斯勒（Gary Gensler）领导下的美国证券交易委员会，以“执行”对加密货币的“执法法规”，从而给许多公司带来了高昂的法律费用。

Less than 48 hours after the Solana Policy Institute’s launch, it’s unclear what the group’s immediate goals may be for engaging with US lawmakers and advocating for the industry. The organization described itself as a non-partisan 501(c)(3) non-profit group.

在Solana政策研究所推出不到48小时后，目前尚不清楚该集团与美国立法者互动并提倡该行业的直接目标是什么。该组织将自己描述为非党派501（c）（3）非营利组织。
