美国证券交易委员会（SEC）开始扩大其加密执法部门

SEC的改组仅在SEC专员Hester Peirce透露该机构调节加密货币空间的新方法之后几个小时。

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is starting to scale back its crypto enforcement unit, the New York Times reported on Feb. 4.

《纽约时报》 2月4日报道，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）开始缩减其加密执法部门。

Some employees of the 50-staff unit will be shifted to other departments in the agency, it reported, citing five people familiar with the matter.

据报道，该机构的其他部门的一些员工将转移到该机构的其他部门，并引用了五名熟悉此事的人。

This change in the SEC stance also saw one of the unit’s top lawyers removed from the securities watchdog’s enforcement arm, it added.

它补充说，SEC立场的这种变化还使该部门的一位顶级律师之一从证券监管机构的执法部门中删除。

The SEC shake-up comes just hours after SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce revealed the agency’s new approach to regulating the crypto space.

SEC的改组仅在SEC专员Hester Peirce透露该机构调节加密货币空间的新方法之后几个小时。

Part of the new approach will be evaluating the security status of digital assets, which could provide “retroactive relief” for some token offerings, she said.

她说，新方法的一部分将是评估数字资产的安全状况，这可以为某些令牌产品提供“追溯救济”。

Up until now, the SEC’s “handling of crypto has been marked by legal imprecision and commercial impracticability,” Pierce said. She went on to liken the regulator’s old approach to regulating digital assets to a car careening down the road.

Pierce说，到目前为止，SEC的“对加密货币的处理一直以法律不精确和商业不可行性为标志。”她继续将监管机构的旧方法比作监管数字资产的旧方法，以便在道路上行驶的汽车。

With the formation of the new SEC task force, led by Peirce, the SEC Commissioner hopes to create an environment that lets developers “experiment and build interesting things.”

在Peirce领导的新SEC工作队的成立下，SEC专员希望创造一个环境，使开发人员“实验并建立有趣的事物”。

Former Advisor To Gary Gensler Says SEC Is Removing ”Guardrails”

加里·金斯勒（Gary Gensler）的前顾问说，SEC正在删除“护栏”

Corey Frayer, a former senior advisor to Gary Gensler during his tenure at the regulator’s helm, says the regulator’s new leadership is removing the “speed limits and guardrails” that made the US capital markets the “strongest in the world.”

科里·弗雷尔（Corey Frayer）是加里·加斯勒（Gary Gensler）在监管机构担任任期期间的前高级顾问，他说，监管机构的新领导层正在删除使美国资本市场成为“世界上最强大”的“速度限制和护栏”。

Gensler led the agency in 33 crypto-related enforcement actions against 90 defendants and respondents in 2024, according to Cornerstone Research. That prompted critics to accuse it of regulatory overreach.

根据Cornerstone Research，Gensler在2024年针对90名被告和受访者的33项与加密相关的执法行动领导了该机构。这促使批评家指责其监管过度。
