当选总统唐纳德·特朗普和 Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗本周讨论了加密货币

这种新发现的影响力体现在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普本周与 Coinbase 创始人兼首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗的电话中。

President-elect Donald Trump's newfound enthusiasm for cryptocurrency was evident in a phone call this week with Brian Armstrong, founder and CEO of Coinbase.

当选总统唐纳德·特朗普在本周与 Coinbase 创始人兼首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 的电话中表现出了对加密货币的新热情。

Armstrong and his company poured nearly $50 million into supporting pro-crypto candidates, whose ranks now include Trump, a one-time Bitcoin skeptic who became a full-on convert to digital currency earlier this year.

阿姆斯特朗和他的公司投入了近 5000 万美元来支持支持加密货币的候选人，其中现在包括特朗普，这位曾经的比特币怀疑论者，今年早些时候全面转向数字货币。

In recent months, Trump has floated ideas like a crypto advisory council and a strategic reserve for Bitcoin. He also counts a number of longtime crypto boosters in his inner circle, including Elon Musk and the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, Howard Lutnick, whose firm helps manage the reserves of stablecoin giant Tether and who on Tuesday was tapped to be Commerce Secretary.

最近几个月，特朗普提出了加密货币咨询委员会和比特币战略储备等想法。他的核心圈子里还有一些长期的加密货币支持者，包括埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)和坎托·菲茨杰拉德(Cantor Fitzgerald)的首席执行官霍华德·卢特尼克(Howard Lutnick)，后者的公司帮助管理稳定币巨头Tether的储备，他于周二被任命为商务部长。

A person familiar with the call, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Armstrong and Trump did not discuss specific appointments but instead spoke about crypto on a broader level. Coinbase declined to comment on the call. The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the two would meet.

一位不愿透露姓名的知情人士表示，阿姆斯特朗和特朗普没有讨论具体任命，而是在更广泛的层面上谈论了加密货币。 Coinbase 拒绝对此次通话发表评论。 《华尔街日报》周一报道称，两人将会面。

There have also been unconfirmed reports on X that another prominent crypto CEO, Ripple's Brad Garlinghouse, has had direct access to the President-elect. A Ripple spokesperson told Fortune the company does not discuss private conversations.

X 上还有未经证实的报道称，另一位著名的加密货币首席执行官、Ripple 的 Brad Garlinghouse 可以直接接触当选总统。 Ripple 发言人告诉《财富》杂志，该公司不讨论私人对话。

According to the person familiar with the Trump-Armstrong call, as well as a well-known Washington DC crypto figure, the industry's primary focus for now is who will be appointed to lead two key financial agencies: the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities and Exchange Futures Commission.

据熟悉特朗普与阿姆斯特朗通话的人士以及华盛顿特区一位知名加密货币人士表示，该行业目前的主要关注点是谁将被任命领导两个关键金融机构：美国证券交易委员会和大宗商品交易所和交易所期货委员会。

“The SEC is where all the damage is being carried out,” said the Washington, DC figure, citing a wave of lawsuits unleashed by Chairman Gary Gensler. While Gensler is expected to be gone by the end of the year, the person said it remains uncertain whether the agency will immediately call off numerous cases not related to fraud. They added that an interim Chair would be less likely to take this step.

这位华盛顿特区的人士援引主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)发起的一波诉讼表示：“所有损害都是由美国证券交易委员会造成的。”尽管詹斯勒预计将在今年年底离职，但该人士表示，目前还不确定该机构是否会立即取消众多与欺诈无关的案件。他们补充说，临时主席不太可能采取这一步骤。

Meanwhile, the CFTC could take on a greatly expanded role in the crypto realm if legislation goes forward to strip the SEC of some of its proclaimed powers over digital assets and hands them to the commodities regulator instead. Among the frontrunners to be the next leader of the CFTC are two crypto industry favorites: Summer Mersinger who is a current Commissioner, and Milbank lawyer, Josh Sterling, who has regularly pled cases before industry.

与此同时，如果立法继续推进，剥夺美国证券交易委员会对数字资产的一些宣称的权力，并将其交给大宗商品监管机构，那么美国商品期货交易委员会可能会在加密货币领域发挥更大的作用。在 CFTC 下一任领导人的领跑者中，有两位加密货币行业最受青睐的人选：现任委员 Summer Mersinger 和经常在行业面前答辩的 Milbank 律师 Josh Sterling。

A final role the crypto industry is watching closely: Who is selected to be the Treasury Department's Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, a position that helps oversee regulations related to money laundering and illicit banking.

加密货币行业正在密切关注的最后一个角色：谁被选为财政部负责恐怖主义和金融情报的副部长，该职位有助于监督与洗钱和非法银行业务相关的法规。
