美国参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）对唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的商务部长提名霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）表示担忧

加密货币的强烈批评家沃伦（Warren）于1月27日发出了一封信，询问了卢特尼克（Lutnick）与Tether的参与及其对他在政府中的作用的潜在影响。

US Senator Elizabeth Warren is raising concerns about Donald Trump’s nominee for Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, over his ties to stablecoin issuer Tether.

美国参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）对唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）提出了与Stablecoin发行人Tether的联系。

Warren, who is a strong critic of cryptocurrency, sent a letter on Jan. 27 questioning Lutnick’s involvement with Tether and how it might affect his role in the government.

沃伦（Warren）是对加密货币的强烈批评者，他于1月27日致信卢特尼克（Lutnick）参与Tether及其可能如何影响他在政府中的角色。

Lutnick is the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, an investment firm that holds a 5% stake in Tether and also serves as its asset manager. Despite agreeing to divest from the company, Warren argues that this does not eliminate concerns about his past connections or possible influence over crypto regulations.

卢特尼克（Lutnick）是坎托·菲茨杰拉德（Cantor Fitzgerald）的首席执行官。尽管沃伦同意退出公司，但沃伦认为这并不能消除对他过去的联系或对加密法规的影响的担忧。

Specifically, she questioned whether Lutnick could prioritize the interests of the American people over his financial ties if he is confirmed as Commerce Secretary.

具体来说，她质疑卢特尼克是否可以确认为商务部长，是否可以优先考虑美国人民的利益。

If confirmed, Lutnick would have direct access to President Trump and other officials involved in crypto regulations, Warren noted. This, she argues, could allow him to influence policies that might benefit Tether or the crypto industry as a whole.

沃伦指出，如果得到确认，卢特尼克将直接与特朗普总统和其他参与加密法规的官员接触。她认为，这可以使他能够影响可能受益于绳索或整个加密货币行业的政策。

As part of her inquiry, Warren asked Lutnick to answer 13 questions.

作为询问的一部分，沃伦要求卢特尼克回答13个问题。

These include details about his current financial stake in Tether, discussions with Trump officials regarding the company, and whether Cantor Fitzgerald ensures that Tether follows US financial regulations like the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws.

这些详细信息包括有关他目前在Tether中的财务股份，与特朗普官员就公司的讨论，以及Cantor Fitzgerald是否确保Tether遵循美国的财务法规，例如News您的客户（KYC）（KYC）（KYC）和反洗钱（AML）法律。

She has requested answers by Feb. 10. However, Warren is not part of the Senate committee that will oversee Lutnick’s confirmation hearing on Jan. 29.

她已在2月10日之前要求答案。但是，沃伦不是参议院委员会的一部分，该委员会将监督卢特尼克在1月29日举行的确认听证会。

Warren has long been critical of Tether, arguing that it is used for illegal activities like money laundering and sanctions evasion. She also highlighted concerns that Tether may be used to finance North Korea’s nuclear program.

沃伦（Warren）长期以来一直批评绳索，认为它被用于诸如洗钱和逃避制裁之类的非法活动。她还强调了担心系绳可用于为朝鲜的核计划提供资金。

However, Tether has worked with law enforcement to combat illicit financial activities. On Jan. 27, Tether worked with blockchain firms Tron and TRM Labs to help Spanish authorities freeze $26.4 million linked to money laundering. In September 2023, Tether helped the FBI to recover $6 million from crypto scammers who were targeting US citizens.

但是，Tether已与执法部门合作打击非法财务活动。 1月27日，Tether与区块链公司TRON和TRM Labs合作，帮助西班牙当局冻结了2640万美元与洗钱。 2023年9月，Tether帮助联邦调查局从以美国公民为目标的加密骗子那里收回了600万美元。

Warren has been pushing for tighter crypto regulations, urging Trump’s Treasury Secretary nominee to consider stricter oversight and introducing legislation to increase controls on digital assets.

沃伦（Warren）一直在推动更严格的加密法规，敦促特朗普的财政部长提名人考虑更严格的监督并引入立法以增加对数字资产的控制。

Her proposed Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act, which was introduced in both 2022 and 2023, aims to enforce existing financial laws on the crypto industry. However, the bill has faced opposition from US-based crypto advocacy groups and former security officials, who argue that it could drive the industry overseas and limit law enforcement’s ability to track illicit activities.

她提出的数字资产反洗钱法案是在2022年和2023年介绍的，旨在实施有关加密行业的现有财务法。但是，该法案面临着总部位于美国的加密宣传团体和前安全官员的反对，他们认为它可以推动海外行业，并限制执法部门追踪非法活动的能力。

Tether and Cantor Fitzgerald have not yet responded to Warren’s letter.

Tether和Cantor Fitzgerald尚未回应沃伦的信。
