美国证券交易委员会是否应该负责监管模因？

海斯特·皮尔斯（Hester Peirce）说，可能不是。

The US Securities and Exchange Commission is unlikely to regulate memecoins, according to SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce.

SEC专员Hester Peirce表示，美国证券交易委员会不太可能规范成员。

In a Bloomberg interview on Tuesday, Peirce addressed the issue of memecoins, which have remained largely unregulated despite amassing a $75 billion market.

在周二的彭博社采访中，皮尔斯（Peirce）谈到了Memecoins问题，尽管积累了750亿美元的市场，但该问题仍然在很大程度上不受监管。

“It depends on the facts and circumstances,” Peirce said. “Many of the memecoins that are out there probably do not have a home in the SEC, under our current set of regulations.”

皮尔斯说：“这取决于事实和情况。” “根据我们目前的一系列法规，那里的许多模因可能在SEC中没有房屋。”

Many have argued that memecoins are not securities, which would exclude them from the SEC’s regulatory purview.

许多人认为，模因不是证券，这将使他们从SEC的监管权限中排除。

That doesn’t necessarily mean memecoins will never be regulated, just probably not by the SEC.

这并不一定意味着永远不会受到Memecoins的监管，而不是SEC不受限制。

“Maybe that's something the Commodity Futures Trading Commission wants to address,” Peirce said, adding that Congress could also step in to address the issue of memecoin regulation if it wanted to.

皮尔斯说：“也许这是商品期货贸易委员会想要解决的问题。”他补充说，国会也可以介入以解决Memecoin法规的问题。

Peirce’s comments come amid controversy over the launch of official memecoins by former President Donald Trump and his wife Melania last month. Some expressed disbelief that the president would involve himself in a market known for its extreme price volatility, joke coins, and scammers.

皮尔斯（Peirce）在上个月前总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）和他的妻子梅拉尼亚（Melania）的官方纪念因争议中引起了评论。一些人表示难以置信，总统会以其极端价格波动，笑话和骗子而闻名的市场。

The TRUMP token soared to a $15 billion market valuation before crashing 79%, leaving investors stranded. Melania’s token fared even worse, losing 89% of its value.

在崩溃79％之前，特朗普的代币飙升至150亿美元的市场估值，使投资者陷入困境。 Melania的代币情况甚至更糟，损失了其价值的89％。

Memecoins have surged in popularity over the past year and a half. Such tokens, which are usually based on a popular figure or online meme, often explicitly detach themselves from any promise of gaining value.

在过去的一年半中，Memecoin的受欢迎程度激增。这样的令牌通常基于流行的人物或在线模因，通常会明确地脱离任何获得价值的承诺。

The Trump memecoin, for example, states on its website that it is intended to function as an expression of support for the president and not an investment.

例如，特朗普纪念因素在其网站上指出，它旨在表达对总统而不是投资的支持。

Even so, risk-tolerant investors routinely pile into memecoins like TRUMP due to their extreme volatility and the potential for buyers to make life-changing money quickly.

即便如此，冒险的投资者由于其极端波动和买家的潜力迅速赚钱而经常堆入像特朗普这样的成人。

Peirce, who was tapped last month to lead a new crypto task force that will create bespoke regulations for digital assets, has quickly become one of the most influential voices in U.S. crypto regulation.

皮尔斯（Peirce）上个月被击败，负责一个新的加密特遣部队，该特遣部队将为数字资产制定定制法规，他迅速成为美国加密货币法规中最有影响力的声音之一。

Earlier this month, she set the tone for Trump administration crypto regulation by saying the SEC won’t bail out rash investors.

本月初，她为特朗普政府加密法规定下了基调，说SEC不会救助轻率的投资者。

“If people want to buy a token or product that lacks a clear long-term value proposition, they should feel free to but should not be surprised if someday the price drops,” Peirce said in a policy statement published Feb. 4.

皮尔斯在2月4日发布的政策声明中说：“如果人们想购买缺乏明确的长期价值主张的代币或产品，那么如果有一天下降，他们应该随意，但不会感到惊讶。”

“People must decide for themselves, not look to Mama Government to tell them what to do or not to do, nor to bail them out when they do something that turns out badly.”

“人们必须自己决定，不要让妈妈政府告诉他们该怎么做或不做，或者在做一些事实证明的事情时要救助他们。”

In the same Bloomberg interview, Peirce also commented on the SEC’s previous approach to regulating crypto, which she has long criticized.

在同一次彭博访谈中，皮尔斯还评论了SEC先前对加密货币的调节方法，她一直批评这一方法。

“We’ve just put up roadblock after roadblock against people who are just trying to come in and talk to us as we have asked them to do,” she said, referring to former SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s call for crypto firms to engage with the regulator.

她说：“我们只是在与只是试图按照我们要求他们做的那些试图进来与我们交谈的人们的障碍，”监管机构。

Despite Gensler repeatedly requesting crypto firms to engage with the SEC, many — such as US exchange Coinbase — say that the regulator had been reluctant to work with them.

尽管Gensler反复要求加密公司与SEC互动，但许多人（例如US Exchange Coinbase）表示，监管机构一直不愿与他们合作。

“All I’m asking is that we have an innovation policy that allows people to innovate and allows people to try new things,” she said.

她说：“我要问的是，我们有一项创新政策，使人们可以创新并允许人们尝试新事物。”
