前國會議員帕特里克·麥克亨利（Patrick MCHENRY

根據前國會議員帕特里克·麥克亨利（Patrick McHenry）的說法，加里·蓋斯勒（Gary Gensler）對加密貨幣的強硬立場比個人信念更具政治劇院。

output: Former Congressman Patrick McHenry has accused outgoing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler of juggling two personas — one in private conversations and another in public appearances — to serve political expediency over rational policy.

產出：前國會議員帕特里克·麥克亨利（Patrick McHenry）指責即將離任的美國證券交易委員會主席加里·加斯勒（Gary Gensler）雜耍兩個角色 - 一個在私人對話中，另一個在公開露面中 - 為理性政策提供政治權宜之計。

In a recent interview on the Bankless podcast, McHenry claimed that Gensler privately acknowledged the value of digital assets and even expressed support for innovations like token airdrops. However, in public statements, Gensler maintained a hardline stance against crypto, which McHenry attributes to pressure from figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren and the realities of political survival.

麥克亨利（McHenry）在最近的《無岸播客》採訪時聲稱，蓋斯勒（Gensler）私下承認數字資產的價值，甚至表示對諸如代幣AirDrops之類的創新的支持。但是，在公開聲明中，Gensler保持了對加密貨幣的強硬立場，麥克亨利歸因於參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）等人物的壓力和政治生存的現實。

“He used to tell me in private conversations how much he appreciated the innovation in the sector. He’d say, ‘We need to be careful not to overregulate this industry. I like what they’re doing with airdrops and being able to fundraise easily.’ But then in the Senate Banking Committee, he’d pivot completely,” McHenry said.

“他曾經在私人對話中告訴我，他對該行業的創新有多大讚賞。他會說，'我們需要小心不要過度調節這個行業。我喜歡他們對AirDrops的所作所為，並能夠輕鬆籌款。”但是在參議院銀行委員會中，他完全樞紐了。 ”麥克亨利說。

The former lawmaker, who himself faced the demands of constituents and donors during his time in Congress, said Gensler’s duality distorted crypto regulation and ultimately eroded trust in the SEC.

這位前議員在國會期間本人面臨選民和捐助者的要求，他說，Gensler的二元性扭曲了Crypto的監管，並最終侵蝕了SEC的信任。

McHenry also criticized Senator Warren’s vocal opposition to crypto, which he suggests is fueled by ideological bias rather than technical understanding.

麥克亨利還批評沃倫參議員對加密的反對，他認為這是由於意識形態偏見而不是技術理解的推動。

“She has no interest in learning about the technology. She’s already decided that it’s bad and that people who are working on it are probably bad people,” McHenry said.

麥克亨利說：“她對了解這項技術沒有興趣。她已經決定這很糟糕，而從事這項技術的人可能是壞人。”

Gensler, who will step down in January 2024, has maintained that most digital assets, with the exception of Bitcoin, violate securities laws. However, under his leadership, the SEC approved spot Bitcoin ETFs, including those from BlackRock.

Gensler將於2024年1月辭職，他堅持認為，除了比特幣外，大多數數字資產違反了證券法。但是，在他的領導下，SEC批准了現場比特幣ETF，包括來自貝萊德的比特幣ETF。

Despite the agency allegedly having an internal stance classifying ETH as a security, McHenry accuses Gensler of misleading Congress during hearings on the matter.

儘管據稱該機構的內部立場將ETH歸類為安全，但麥克亨利指責Gensler在聽證此事時誤導了國會。

“They had already made a determination internally that ETH was a security, but then he went before Congress and said, ‘Oh, we’re still examining it. We’re still looking at the facts of the case.’ It was a complete fabrication,” McHenry said.

“他們已經在內部決定了ETH是安全的，但是後來他在國會前說：'哦，我們仍在研究它。我們仍在研究案件的事實。”這是一個完整的捏造，”麥克亨利說。

The former Congressman believes the incoming leadership change at the SEC, with crypto-friendly Paul Atkins set to take over, will bring a much-needed shift in regulatory priorities.

這位前國會議員認為，隨著對加密貨幣友好的保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）即將接管的即將到來的領導力變動，將帶來急需的監管優先事項。
