亞利桑那州州長凱蒂·霍布斯否決比特幣養老金計劃

在州長凱蒂·霍布斯（Katie Hobbs）否決立法之後，將加密貨幣帶入亞利桑那州的公共養老金制度，這將允許該州投資於比特幣等數字資產上的退休儲蓄。

Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed legislation that would have permitted the state of Arizona to invest in digital assets, such as Bitcoin, for public pensions.

州長凱蒂·霍布斯（Katie Hobbs）否決了立法，該立法將使亞利桑那州投資於比特幣等數字資產進行公共養老金。

The initiative, which began with bipartisan support in both chambers of the state legislature, faced a setback as Governor Hobbs rejected the proposal to include cryptocurrencies in the Arizona State Retirement System's investment portfolio.

該倡議始於在州立法機關的兩個議會中的兩黨支持開始，他面臨挫折，因為州長霍布斯拒絕了將加密貨幣包括在亞利桑那州退休系統的投資組合中的提議。

Senate Bill 1025, which had passed the state assembly and was sent to the governor's desk last week, aimed to diversify the system's portfolio and potentially help hedge against inflation by introducing assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

參議院第1025號法案已通過了州議會，並於上週被送往州長的辦公桌，旨在使系統的投資組合多樣化，並有可能通過引入比特幣和以太坊等資產來幫助對沖通貨膨脹。

However, Governor Hobbs expressed concerns about the risk posed by volatile and largely uncharted assets for public pensions, leading her to veto the bill.

但是，霍布斯州長對公共養老金的波動和未知資產的風險表示擔憂，這使她否決了該法案。

In her veto letter, Governor Hobbs highlighted the importance of maintaining stability in one of the nation's strongest retirement systems, warning that crypto markets are "untested" and unsuitable for safeguarding public funds.

霍布布斯州長在她的否決信中強調了保持全國最強大的退休系統之一的穩定性的重要性，警告加密市場是“未經測試的”，並且不適合保護公共資金。

"I am returning Senate Bill 1025, which would authorize the state to invest in cryptocurrency in the Arizona State Retirement System, without my approval," Governor Hobbs wrote in her letter to the State Legislature.

霍布斯州長在致州立法機關的信中寫道：“我將返回參議院1025號法案，該法案將授權該州在未經我的批准的情況下投資於亞利桑那州退休制度。”

"This bill would allow up to 10 percent of the system's portfolio to be invested in cryptocurrencies, despite the volatility and lack of regulation in these markets."

“儘管這些市場的波動和不足，該法案將允許該系統投資組合的10％投資於加密貨幣。”

She added: "This measure poses an unacceptable risk to the retirement savings of public employees and would be a serious misallocation of state resources."

她補充說：“這項措施對公共僱員的退休儲蓄構成了不可接受的風險，這將是對國家資源的嚴重分配。”

The governor's decision effectively halts what could have been the first state-run Bitcoin reserve in the U.S. While other states, such as Wyoming and South Dakota, have entertained similar legislation, none have yet managed to introduce digital assets into their public finance frameworks.

州長的決定有效地停止了美國第一個國家經營的比特幣儲備，而其他州（例如懷俄明州和南達科他州）也採用了類似的立法，沒有人能夠將數字資產引入其公共財務框架。

A companion proposal, SB1373, which would permit up to 10 percent of Arizona's rainy-day funds to be held in crypto, is still pending a final decision.

同伴提案SB1373將允許在加密貨幣的亞利桑那州雨天的10％的資金中，仍在進行最終決定。

For now, the broader trend of cautious state-level resistance to crypto integration continues, with officials weighing the potential benefits of diversification against the substantial risks associated with the nascent technology.

目前，謹慎的國家對加密整合的抵抗力的更廣泛的趨勢仍在繼續，官員們權衡了多元化的潛在好處與新生技術相關的重大風險。
