即将离任的 SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 盘问他作为加密货币监管机构的动荡统治

即将卸任的美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 在周二的采访中陷入了困境，因为他对金融监管机构在其统治下的诉讼优先政策提出了质疑。

Outgoing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler faced grilling over the financial regulator's litigation-first policy during his tenure in a Tuesday interview.

即将离任的美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 在周二的采访中面临着金融监管机构在其任职期间诉讼优先政策的质疑。

Gensler defended the SEC's actions, describing it as "a law enforcement agency" tasked with protecting investors from fraud, manipulation, and other securities law violations.

詹斯勒为美国证券交易委员会的行为进行了辩护，称其为“执法机构”，其任务是保护投资者免受欺诈、操纵和其他证券法违规行为的侵害。

Bitcoin and the SECバトル

比特币与 SEC 之战

During the CNBC interview, host Joe Kernen highlighted the SEC's stance on Bitcoin, stating that Gensler either "stood in the way of a totally new industry, or you were unable to prevent a huge bubble from forming, which is going to end very badly, and neither one is going to be much of a legacy to look back on."

在 CNBC 采访中，主持人 Joe Kernen 强调了 SEC 对比特币的立场，表示 Gensler 要么“阻碍了一个全新行业的发展，要么无法阻止巨大泡沫的形成，而泡沫的结局将会非常糟糕，两者都不会成为值得回顾的遗产。”

Gensler maintained that he never labeled Bitcoin a security, but asserted that "these 10,000 or 15,000 other tokens" have "hurt" investors for years.

Gensler 坚称，他从未将比特币标记为证券，但声称“这 10,000 或 15,000 个其他代币”多年来“伤害”了投资者。

Kernen further noted that if Bitcoin had a hard time evolving under Gensler's SEC, "it's very difficult for anything good to happen," suggesting that the previous SEC leadership, including Gensler, appeared to put up multiple obstacles in the crypto industry's path.

Kernen 进一步指出，如果比特币在 Gensler 的 SEC 领导下发展困难，“就很难发生任何好事”，这表明包括 Gensler 在内的前 SEC 领导层似乎在加密行业的道路上设置了多重障碍。

Gensler mentioned being on the job for only a few months when Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on futures were approved. However, Kernen quickly countered with a battle-ready response, stating, "After a lawsuit."

Gensler 提到，当基于期货的比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）获得批准时，他才上任几个月。然而，克南很快就做出了战斗准备的回应，称“在一场诉讼之后”。

Kernen's words carry significance, considering how spot Bitcoin ETFs took a decade before finally being approved in January 2024, following a lawsuit that appeared to pressure the regulatory agency into approving the funds. Several months later, ETFs for Ethereum were also approved.

考虑到现货比特币 ETF 花了十年时间才最终在 2024 年 1 月获得批准，此前一场诉讼似乎迫使监管机构批准这些基金，Kernen 的言论具有重要意义。几个月后，以太坊 ETF 也获得批准。

Other Digital Coins and the SEC Scanner

Gensler maintained that other digital currencies beyond Bitcoin are not compliant with securities laws and hence require oversight.

Gensler 认为，比特币以外的其他数字货币不符合证券法，因此需要监管。

"A sector of this field, crypto, the investing public is investing based on projects and these things. I'm not prejudging any one of them, but many of them are covered by the securities laws. And in that field, there's a lot of noncompliance," he said.

“这个领域的一个部门，加密货币，投资公众正在根据项目和这些东西进行投资。我不会预先判断其中任何一个，但其中许多都受到证券法的保护。在这个领域，有很多不遵守规定，”他说。

It's worth noting that Gensler has faced criticism from many in the crypto space for not being clear on the legal status of Ethereum, even when asked under oath. After ETH ETFs were approved, Gensler still did not provide clarity on whether Ethereum is a security or a commodity. It remains to be seen whether the new leadership will give clarity on this matter.

值得注意的是，Gensler 面临着加密货币领域许多人的批评，因为即使在宣誓的情况下，他也不清楚以太坊的法律地位。在 ETH ETF 获得批准后，Gensler 仍然没有明确说明以太坊是证券还是商品。新领导层是否会澄清此事还有待观察。

Gensler on Bitcoin's Future and Other Coins' Utility

Gensler 谈比特币的未来和其他货币的实用性

Despite describing BTC as a highly speculative and volatile asset, Gensler expressed his belief in a future for the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization if a majority of the world's population wants to trade it.

尽管将 BTC 描述为一种高度投机性和波动性的资产，但 Gensler 表示，如果世界上大多数人都愿意交易这种全球市值最大的加密货币，那么他相信它的未来。

" I think that Bitcoin is a highly speculative, volatile asset. But with 7 billion people around the globe, if they want to trade it just like we do have gold for 10,000 years, we have Bitcoin. It might be something else in the future as well," Gensler said.

“我认为比特币是一种高度投机性、波动性的资产。但是，全球有 70 亿人，如果他们想像我们拥有一万年的黄金一样交易比特币，我们就拥有比特币。未来可能会是另外一种情况也是如此，”詹斯勒说。

As for the thousands of other coins in the crypto market, Gensler believes they need to prove their utility. According to him, they have to "show that they actually have fundamentals underlying them or they won't persist."

至于加密货币市场上的数千种其他代币，Gensler 认为它们需要证明自己的实用性。他表示，他们必须“证明他们确实有基本面，否则他们不会坚持下去。”

Gensler will step down as SEC Chair on January 20, during incoming President Donald Trump's inauguration. Trump has nominated former Commissioner Paul Atkins to replace him.

Gensler 将于 1 月 20 日在即将上任的总统唐纳德·特朗普就职典礼期间辞去 SEC 主席职务。特朗普已提名前专员保罗·阿特金斯接替他。

Atkins' nomination was met with optimism from crypto users – both small-time holders and key industry players – as he is expected to usher in a more positive and progressive approach toward regulating digital assets.

阿特金斯的提名得到了加密货币用户（包括小型持有者和主要行业参与者）的乐观态度，因为预计他将在监管数字资产方面引入更加积极和进步的方法。
