伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）（D-Mass。）对保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）与加密货币行业的联系提出了疑问，她认为这可能会构成利益冲突

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is raising questions about Paul Atkins’ connections to the cryptocurrency industry that she believes could pose conflicts of interest if he is confirmed as SEC Chair.

参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（D-Mass。

In a letter dated Mar. 23, Warren said that Atkins served as an advisor to the failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX from 2021 until its collapse in November 2022.

沃伦（Warren）在3月23日的一封信中说，阿特金斯（Atkins）从2021年到2022年11月倒闭，担任失败的加密货币交易所FTX的顾问。

"Your deep involvement with FTX and other high-paying crypto clients raises questions about your approach to crypto regulation—and concerns about the extent of your knowledge of FTX's illegal activities," Warren stated in the letter.

沃伦在信中说：“您对FTX和其他高薪加密客户的深入参与会引发有关您对加密货币监管方法的疑问，并担心您对FTX非法活动的了解程度。”

The senator, who won a third term last year, asked Atkins what advice his firm Patomak Global Partners provided to FTX and whether he was aware of or complicit in any wrongdoing that led to the firm’s bankruptcy, which cost investors billions.

这位参议员去年赢得了第三任期，他问阿特金斯（Atkins）的公司Patomak全球合作伙伴向FTX提供了什么建议，以及他是否意识到或同谋导致该公司破产的任何不当行为，这使投资者损失了数十亿美元。

According to the Wall Street Journal, Patomak agreed to serve as an adviser to FTX in January 2022.

根据《华尔街日报》的报道，帕特马克同意在2022年1月担任FTX的顾问。

Patomak didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment.

Patomak没有立即退还Benzinga的置评请求。

Warren also pointed to Atkins' long-standing relationship with the Chamber of Digital Commerce, a prominent cryptocurrency lobbying group where he has served as an advisor since 2020.

沃伦还指出，阿特金斯（Atkins）与数字贸易商会（Chamber of Digital Commerce）的长期关系，该商会是一个著名的加密货币游说小组，他自2020年以来一直担任顾问。

Additionally, Warren expressed concerns over President Donald Trump's Official Trump COIN/USD coin and the SEC's statement that meme coins are not securities.

此外，沃伦（Warren）对唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统的官方特朗普硬币/美元硬币表示担忧，以及美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的声明，即模因硬币不是证券。

"The Staff Statement appears to have the effect of entirely exempting President Trump's meme coin from the SEC's scrutiny," she said.

她说：“员工声明似乎具有完全免除特朗普总统的模因硬币的效果。”

Why It Matters: Warren's questions to Atkins come ahead of his Thursday confirmation hearing in the Senate. He was nominated to lead the regulator by Trump in December 2024.

为什么很重要：沃伦对阿特金斯的问题是在参议院周四确认听证会之前。他在2024年12月被提名特朗普领导监管机构。

Warren, seen as an anti-cryptocurrency crusader, previously pressed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick ahead of the latter’s confirmation in February.

沃伦（Warren）被视为一名反征收十字军十字军，此前曾在二月份的确认之前施压。

Warren overcame the challenge from pro-cryptocurrency opponent John Deaton to secure a third Senate term last year.

沃伦（Warren）克服了亲克赖特币对手约翰·迪顿（John Deaton）去年获得第三名参议院任期的挑战。
