美国参议院取消重新提名民主党人卡罗琳·克伦肖 (Caroline Crenshaw) 进入 SEC 的投票

由于国会将于 12 月 20 日假期休会，这意味着克伦肖不太可能在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普政府之前获得连任

A US Senate vote to renominate Democrat Caroline Crenshaw for a second term at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been canceled.

美国参议院重新提名民主党人卡罗琳·克伦肖 (Caroline Crenshaw) 连任美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 委员的投票已被取消。

In an update, the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs said the scheduled vote on the nomination of Crenshaw to the SEC and Gordon Ito to the Financial Stability Oversight Council had been canceled.

美国参议院银行、住房和城市事务委员会在最新消息中表示，原定对美国证券交易委员会提名克伦肖和金融稳定监督委员会提名戈登伊藤进行的投票已被取消。

The original vote was scheduled for December 11; however, Sherrod Brown, the Senate Banking Committee Chair, postponed it within minutes of starting, due to issues between the Democrats and Republicans.

最初投票定于 12 月 11 日进行；然而，由于民主党和共和党之间的问题，参议院银行委员会主席谢罗德·布朗在会议开始后几分钟内就推迟了会议。

At the time, Brown later released a statement saying that corporate special interests are running a “disgusting smear campaign against Caroline Crenshaw.”

当时，布朗后来发表声明称，企业特殊利益集团正在开展“针对卡罗琳·克伦肖的令人作呕的抹黑运动”。

Yet, with Congress due to stop on December 20 for the holidays, it means Crenshaw is unlikely to be renominated before President-elect Donald Trump’s administration re-enters the White House in January.

然而，由于国会将于 12 月 20 日假期休会，这意味着在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普政府于 1 月份重新入主白宫之前，克伦肖不太可能获得连任。

Crenshaw’s term officially ended in June.

克伦肖的任期于六月正式结束。

The crypto industry has been openly opposed to the reappointment of Crenshaw.

加密行业一直公开反对克伦肖的连任。

In a letter to Brown and Senate Banking Committee Ranking Member Tim Scott, the Blockchain Association and the DeFi Education Fund argued that Crenshaw’s actions have undermined Congress’s mandate to establish clear regulatory policies for the crypto industry.

区块链协会和 DeFi 教育基金在致布朗和参议院银行委员会高级成员 Tim Scott 的一封信中表示，克伦肖的行为破坏了国会为加密行业制定明确监管政策的授权。

Following the news of Crenshaw’s reappointment, Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, took to X to say: “She tried to block the Bitcoin ETFs, and was worse than Gensler on some issues (which I didn’t think was possible).”

在克伦肖连任的消息传出后，Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 在 X 网站上表示：“她试图阻止比特币 ETF，但在某些问题上比 Gensler 更糟糕（我认为这是不可能的）。”

With Crenshaw’s renomination vote canceled, the SEC could have a Republican majority leading it for the time being.

由于克伦肖的重新提名投票被取消，美国证券交易委员会可能暂时由共和党多数派领先。

The SEC can make up to five commissioners, but no more than three can form the same political party. Current SEC chair Gary Gensler, a Democrat, is stepping down on January 20, and SEC Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga, also a Democrat, will step down on January 17.

SEC 最多可组成五名委员，但同一政党不得超过三名委员。现任 SEC 主席、民主党人加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 将于 1 月 20 日辞职，同为民主党人的 SEC 专员 Jaime Lizárraga 将于 1 月 17 日辞职。

Last week, Trump nominated pro-crypto Paul Atkins, a Republican, as chair of the SEC.

上周，特朗普提名支持加密货币的共和党人保罗·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins) 担任 SEC 主席。

Including Gensler and Lizárraga, the three remaining SEC commissioners are Republicans Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda.

包括 Gensler 和 Lizárraga 在内，剩下的三名 SEC 委员是共和党人 Hester Peirce 和 Mark Uyeda。
