参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦对美国加密货币挖矿业务构成的国家安全风险发出警报

坚定的批评家参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（D-MA）从不错过批评区块链技术和加密货币漏洞的机会，对美国加密货币挖矿业务构成的国家安全风险发出警报

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has raised concerns about the national security risks posed by crypto-mining operations in the U.S., during a hearing of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦 (Elizabeth Warren) 在参议院银行、住房和城市事务委员会的听证会上对美国加密货币挖矿业务构成的国家安全风险表示担忧。

According to Warren, “foreign adversaries” could exploit these mining outfits to spy on U.S military activities. In doing so, they would present a significant threat to national security.

沃伦表示，“外国对手”可能会利用这些采矿设备来监视美国的军事活动。这样做将对国家安全构成重大威胁。

“Increasingly, foreign companies are building crypto-mining facilities on U.S. soil. These mines are actually warehouses stuffed with computers that process crypto transactions and produce new crypto tokens,” she stated.

“越来越多的外国公司在美国境内建设加密货币挖矿设施。这些矿场实际上是装满计算机的仓库，可以处理加密交易并生产新的加密代币，”她说。

She added, “They're loud, they're hot, and they suck up a ton of electricity, which can crash the power grid. And that's why many countries have banned crypto-mining, leading more foreign companies to set up shop here in the United States.”

她补充说：“它们声音很大，很热，而且会吸收大量电力，这可能会导致电网崩溃。这就是为什么许多国家禁止加密货币挖矿，导致更多外国公司在美国设立分支机构。”

This isn't the first time Warren has targeted the crypto industry. On May 29, in a joint letter with Senator William Cassidy, she highlighted updates from drug enforcement agencies concerning the role of cryptocurrency in the illicit fentanyl market.

这并不是沃伦第一次瞄准加密行业。 5 月 29 日，她在与参议员威廉·卡西迪的联名信中强调了缉毒机构关于加密货币在非法芬太尼市场中的作用的最新情况。

Her latest statement underscores her ongoing efforts to link cryptocurrencies to criminal activities and reinforces her position on the need for stringent regulations.

她的最新声明强调了她不断努力将加密货币与犯罪活动联系起来，并强化了她关于需要严格监管的立场。

In fact, during the hearing, Warren also referenced a March 2024 report by Inca Digital. She said, “One-third of crypto mining facilities in the U.S. are owned by citizens of the People's Republic of China, including people with direct ties to the Chinese government.”

事实上，在听证会上，沃伦还引用了 Inca Digital 2024 年 3 月的一份报告。她说：“美国三分之一的加密货币挖矿设施由中华人民共和国公民拥有，其中包括与中国政府有直接关系的人。”

For their part, the crypto community isn't lying down without a fight against Warren. Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, known as the Winklevoss twins, made a significant political move by donating $500,000 in Bitcoin [BTC] each to John Deaton's campaign.

就加密货币社区而言，他们不会不与沃伦进行斗争而袖手旁观。 Gemini 创始人卡梅伦·文克莱沃斯 (Cameron Winklevoss) 和泰勒·文克莱沃斯 (Tyler Winklevoss)（被称为文克莱沃斯双胞胎）做出了一项重大政治举动，他们向约翰·迪顿 (John Deaton) 的竞选活动每人捐赠了 50 万美元的比特币 [BTC]。

This contribution, amounting to 16 BTC or $1 million, is intended to help Deaton challenge U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren.

这笔捐款总计 16 个比特币或 100 万美元，旨在帮助迪顿挑战美国参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦 (Elizabeth Warren)。
