特朗普政府正在关闭对加密货币市场的调查

特朗普政府正在关闭对加密货币市场的调查，因为总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）试图扩大美国在数字资产领域的占地面积。

The Trump administration is closing investigations into cryptocurrency marketplaces as President Donald Trump seeks to grow the United States’ footprint in the digital asset space.

特朗普政府正在关闭对加密货币市场的调查，因为总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）试图扩大美国在数字资产领域的占地面积。

Trump has taken several actions meant to signal his deregulation of cryptocurrency while calling for the United States to build a digital stockpile, moves that experts expect may lead consumers to be more comfortable investing in digital assets.

特朗普采取了几项措施，以表明他对加密货币的放松管制，同时呼吁美国建立数字储备，专家期望的举动可能会导致消费者对数字资产的投资更加自在。

“Certainly at the moment the expectation is we are going to get a clearer regulatory framework. A more permissive regulatory approach,” William Luther, associate professor of economics at Florida Atlantic University, told UPI. “So individuals who may have otherwise been hesitant to purchase or use cryptocurrency will see that the government is more favorable to these assets than it was previously. That will give them a bit more confidence to enter into this space.”

“当然，目前的期望是我们将获得更清晰的监管框架。佛罗里达州大西洋大学经济学副教授威廉·路德（William Luther）告诉UPI。 “因此，否则可能犹豫购买或使用加密货币的个人将看到政府对这些资产比以前更有利。这将使他们有更多的信心进入这个空间。”

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has dropped two key cases against cryptocurrency marketplaces since Trump has taken office.

自从特朗普上任以来，美国证券交易委员会已针对加密货币市场撤销了两个关键案件。

Last week, the SEC agreed to drop charges against Coinbase(NASDAQ:COIN) for allegedly illegally selling securities, according to the company. The company, a cryptocurrency exchange marketplace, said in a statement that it was a case that “should never have been filed in the first place.”

据该公司称，上周，SEC同意对Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）的指控撤销据称非法销售证券的指控。该公司是一个加密货币交易所市场，在一份声明中说，这是“永远不应该首先提起的”。

Robinhood Cryptocurrency announced that the SEC was ending its investigation into the company over potential violations of securities law. Like Coinbase, Robinhood said in a statement that the investigation should not have happened.

Robinhood Cryptocurrency宣布，SEC正在终止对公司对证券法的行为的调查。像Coinbase一样，Robinhood在一份声明中说，调查不应该发生。

“As we explained to the SEC, any case against Robinhood Crypto would have failed,” Dan Gallagher, chief legal, compliance and corporate affairs Officer for Robinhood Markets, said in a statement. “We are grateful to the SEC for closing its inquiry.”

“正如我们向美国证券交易委员会（SEC）解释的那样，任何反对罗宾格加密货币的案件都会失败。”罗比林市场（Robinhood Markets）首席法律，合规和公司事务官员丹·加拉格尔（Dan Gallagher）在一份声明中说。 “我们感谢SEC关闭其询问。”

Both investigations were launched under the administration of former President Joe Biden, but Luther explains that Trump and Biden’s policies as they relate to cryptocurrency are not all that different.

这两项调查均在前总统乔·拜登（Joe Biden）的政府管理下进行，但路德（Luther）解释说，特朗普和拜登（Biden）与加密货币有关的政策并没有什么不同。

“It’s not that the prior administration was opposed to crypto to the extreme,” he said. “Even Gary Gensler, when he was at the SEC, wasn't stamping out cryptocurrencies. He even indicated at times that some of the things that they were trying to do to limit the reach of cryptocurrency, particularly to retail users, wouldn't apply to assets like Bitcoin, which he described as not being a security.”

他说：“并不是先前的政府反对加密货币。” “即使是加里·贡斯勒（Gary Gensler）在SEC时，也没有盖上加密货币。他甚至有时指出，他们试图做的一些事情以限制加密货币的影响范围，尤其是零售用户，不适用于像比特币这样的资产，他认为这不是安全性。”

Gensler, the chair of the SEC, was often characterized by legal experts as having an aggressive focus on enforcing regulations on cryptocurrency firms. His focus on the asset was primarily in mitigating fraud and penalizing fraudsters.

SEC主席Gensler经常以法律专家为特征，即积极地关注对加密货币公司的法规。他对资产的关注主要是减轻欺诈和惩罚欺诈者。

Cryptocurrency is the most common form of payment fraudsters are paid with in ransomware attacks, according to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, an arm of the U.S. Treasury Department.

美国财政部的一部分金融犯罪执法网络称，加密货币是最常见的付款欺诈者是在勒索软件攻击中支付的。

Trump has nominated Paul Atkins to be the next chair of the SEC. Atkins is a former co-chair at the cryptocurrency advocacy group the Token Alliance.

特朗普已提名保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）为SEC的下一任主席。阿特金斯（Atkins）是加密货币倡导组织Token Alliance的前联席主席。

In his remarks from Miami last week, Trump said he is committed to making America the “crypto capital.” His January 23 executive order suggests he is interested in spurring along the adoption of digital assets in the United States and establishing a government stockpile.

特朗普在上周迈阿密的讲话中说，他致力于使美国成为“加密首都”。他的1月23日的行政命令表明，他有兴趣在美国采用数字资产并建立政府库存。

Trump has commissioned the establishment of the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, charging it with identifying regulations, proposing regulatory frameworks and evaluating the potential creation of a national digital asset stockpile.

特朗普委托成立了总统数字资产市场的工作组，指控其确定法规，提出监管框架并评估国家数字资产库存的潜在创建。

The government has long held cryptocurrencies, at least relative to the history of their existence. It has acquired cryptocurrencies by seizing them through its enforcement efforts, much like it has acquired cash, cars and other goods.

政府长期以来一直保持着加密货币，至少相对于其存在的历史。它通过执法工作抓住了加密货币，就像已经获得了现金，汽车和其他商品一​​样。

"Make no mistake. The U.S. government owns crypto because that's what criminals have been using," Aaron Klein, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told UPI. "Just like the U.S. owns some Ferraris too."

布鲁金斯学会高级研究员亚伦·克莱因（Aaron Klein）告诉UPI：“毫无疑问。美国政府拥有加密货币，因为那是罪犯一直在使用的。” “就像美国也拥有一些法拉利一样。”

Biden similarly commissioned research into cryptocurrency, directing the Federal Reserve to explore whether the government should create its own cryptocurrency in 2022.

拜登（Biden）同样委托对加密货币进行研究，指示美联储探索政府是否应该在2022年创建自己的加密货币。

Months later, the Federal Reserve came back with a recommendation for the government to explore creating a cryptocurrency that it referred to as a digital dollar.

几个月后，美联储回来了，建议政府探索创建一种被称为数字美元的加密货币。

"Innovation is one of the hallmarks of a vibrant financial system and economy," then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement. "But as we have learned painfully from the past, innovation without appropriately addressing the impact of these developments can result in significant disruptions and harm to the financial system."

当时的财政部长珍妮特·耶伦（Janet Yellen）在一份声明中说：“创新是充满活力的金融体系和经济的标志之一。” “但是，随着我们从过去痛苦地学到的，创新没有适当解决这些发展的影响可能会导致重大破坏和对金融体系的伤害。”

The Trump Administration is not yet following up on this recommendation. As part of Trump's executive order, he has prohibited the Central Bank or any agency from establishing, issuing or promoting a digital currency in the United States or abroad.

特朗普政府尚未遵循这一建议。作为特朗普行政命令的一部分，他禁止中央银行或任何机构在美国或国外建立，发行或促进数字货币。

$TRUMP

$特朗普

Hours before taking the oath of office, Trump launched a meme coin called $TRUMP. A meme coin is an often volatile form of cryptocurrency derived from internet memes.

在上任之前的几个小时，特朗普推出了一个名为$特朗普的模因硬币。模因硬币是从互联网模因中得出的加密货币的一种挥发性形式。

Trump's coin experienced an almost immediate spike in value after launching but has collapsed since. With its initial spike it was trading as high as $31. The current value is a fraction of a cent, down more than 97% since launching.

特朗普的硬币在发射后几乎立即产生了价值的激增，但此后崩溃了。凭借其最初的尖峰，它的交易高达31美元。自推出以来，目前的价值仅为一分钱，下降了97％以上。

First lady Melania Trump also launched a coin just as Trump was taking office. $MELANIA

在特朗普上任时，第一夫人梅拉尼亚·特朗普（Melania Trump）也发起了硬币。 $ melania
