當民主黨議員走出聯合聽證會時，對美國加密政策的裂痕加深了

眾議院金融服務委員會的最高民主黨加利福尼亞州的馬克西·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）表示，她不會提供聽證會前進所需的支持

A rift over US crypto policy deepened on Tuesday as several Democratic lawmakers walked out of a joint hearing between the House Financial Services and Agriculture committees.

週二，幾位民主黨立法者走出了眾議院金融服務與農業委員會之間的聯合聽證會，週二，對美國加密貨幣政策的裂痕加劇了。

California’s Maxine Waters, the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, said she would not provide the support needed for the hearing to move forward “because of the corruption of the President of the United States and his ownership of crypto.”

眾議院金融服務委員會最高民主黨的加利福尼亞州的馬克西尼·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）表示，她不會提供聽證會所需的支持，以“由於美國總統的腐敗和他對加密貨幣的所有權的腐敗”。

The family of President Donald Trump has dived headlong into crypto over the past several months, launching or supporting a stablecoin, a Bitcoin mining operation, and memecoins, even as the president pushes for industry-friendly regulation that would likely benefit those businesses.

在過去的幾個月中，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統的家人已經陷入了加密貨幣，推出或支持穩定幣，比特幣採礦業務和成員，即使總統推動了可能受益於這些業務的行業友好法規。

Last month, the company behind Trump’s memecoin said its top 220 investors would be invited to a “gala dinner” at the Trump National Golf Club near Washington, DC. The announcement sent the token’s price soaring and prompted Democratic senators to call for Trump’s impeachment and for an investigation into potential “‘pay-to-play’ corruption.”

上個月，特朗普的Memecoin背後的公司表示，其前220名投資者將被邀請在華盛頓特區的特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部舉行“晚宴”。該公告使令牌的價格飆升，並促使民主黨參議員呼籲特朗普的彈each，並調查潛在的“付費'付費'腐敗”。

Trump’s crypto embrace has rocked congressional debate over crypto policy. Last month, Representative French Hill, a Republican from Arkansas, told reporters that Trump’s myriad crypto ventures “complicated” lawmakers’ work to pass stablecoin legislation.

特朗普的加密貨幣擁抱引發了國會關於加密政策的辯論。上個月，來自阿肯色州的共和黨人法國山（French Hill）告訴記者，特朗普的無數加密貨幣“複雜”的立法者通過Stablecoin立法“複雜”。

“Whether it’s a commodity or security, what have you, we can work that out,” Waters said on Tuesday.

沃特斯週二說：“無論是商品還是安全，您都可以解決這個問題。”

“What I cannot work out is Trump’s corruption. We just can’t walk away from that. We’ve got to have guard rails.”

“我無法鍛煉的是特朗普的腐敗。我們只是不能擺脫困境。我們必須有防守軌。”

Market structure ‘roundtable’

Republicans unveiled draft legislation on Monday that would create a framework for digital asset regulation, placing most cryptocurrencies under the purview of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, rather than the Securities and Exchange Commission.

共和黨人周一宣布了法律草案，該法律將為數字資產法規創建一個框架，將大多數加密貨幣置於商品期貨交易委員會的權限之下，而不是證券交易委員會。

Tuesday’s joint hearing was intended to give lawmakers an opportunity to discuss the bill and question industry experts.

週二的聯合聽證會旨在使立法者有機會討論法案和問題行業專家。

But joint hearings require lawmakers’ unanimous consent. Waters said she would not provide that consent, and left the hearing to lead a competing discussion on crypto policy featuring a slate of experts critical of the industry.

但是聯合聽證會要求立法者的一致同意。沃特斯說，她不會提供該同意，並離開聽證會，以對加密政策進行競爭討論，其中包括對該行業批評該行業的專家。

Republicans pressed forward, rebranding the hearing as a “roundtable.”

共和黨人向前推進，將聽證命名為“圓桌會議”。

“A rose by any other name smells just as sweet,” Dusty Johnson, a Republican from South Dakota, said.

來自南達科他州的共和黨人達斯蒂·約翰遜（Dusty Johnson）說：“任何其他名字的玫瑰都聞起來一樣甜。”

Industry representatives invited to speak with lawmakers pleaded for the passage of a so-called market structure bill that would rescue crypto assets from their legal limbo.

行業代表邀請與立法者交談，要求通過一項所謂的市場結構法案通過，該法案將從法定的陪伴下挽救加密資產。

“It’s not the case that digital asset issuers refuse to comply with the law,” James Rathmell, general counsel at crypto venture capital firm Haun Ventures, said.

加密風險投資公司Haun Ventures的總法律顧問James Rathmell說：“數字資產發行人拒絕遵守法律並非如此。”

“Our industry has tried every single pathway available under existing securities laws to conduct a token offering. But a core reality remains: Protocols depend on liquid markets, price discovery, community participation, and disintermediation. Existing law simply doesn’t contemplate this.”

“我們的行業已經嘗試了根據現有證券法可用的每一個可用的途徑來進行令牌產品。但是核心現實仍然存在：協議取決於液體市場，價格發現，社區參與和分解。現有法律根本不考慮這一點。”

Republicans were receptive to the message.

共和黨人接受了這一信息。

“The digital asset ecosystem in America is operating under a reign of terror, as I think each one of your testimonies has pointed out,” Mark Messmer, a Republican from Indiana, said.

來自印第安納州的共和黨人馬克·梅斯默（Mark Messmer）說：“美國的數字資產生態系統正在恐怖統治下運作，因為我認為您的每個證詞都指出。”

“It’s ironic, because the heavy blanket of regulations, litigation that are meant to protect consumers is suffocating the very innovation that can improve safety.”

“具有諷刺意味的是，因為旨在保護消費者的旨在保護消費者的法規，訴訟的龐大籠罩正在使可以改善安全性的創新。”

But the few remaining Democrats attempted to steer the conversation back toward Trump’s crypto empire.

但是剩下的幾個民主黨人試圖將談話引導到特朗普的加密帝國。

“If we’re successful in working together, then legitimate enterprises will innovate and thrive, and consumers and retail investors will be protected,” Angie Craig, a Democrat from Minnesota, said.

明尼蘇達州民主黨人安吉·克雷格（Angie Craig）表示：“如果我們成功合作，那麼合法的企業將創新和蓬勃發展，消費者和散戶投資者將受到保護。”

But lawmakers shouldn’t shy away from Trump’s apparent conflicts of interest, Craig added.

克雷格補充說，但是議員們不應該迴避特朗普明顯的利益衝突。

“It’s corrupt, it’s wrong, and it makes this process of coming together to regulate crypto more partisan than it needs to be,” she said.

她說：“這是腐敗的，這是錯誤的，它使得整合的過程比這比其需要的要多。”

At Waters’ competing meeting, meanwhile, experts slammed the Republican-led market structure bill unveiled Monday.

與此同時，在沃特斯的競爭會議上，專家週一抨擊了共和黨領導的市場結構法案。

“Congress is pushing the FIT21 2.0 bill, which would let crypto firms self-certificate their tokens as decentralised, stripping away SEC oversight,” Chastity Murphy, a research fellow at the University of Manchester, said.

曼徹斯特大學研究員Chastity Murphy說：“國會正在推動FIT21 2.0法案，該法案將使加密貨幣公司自稱為分散，剝奪SEC的監督。”

“Rules and referees are necessary to prevent crashes and corruption. Crypto should not be an exception.”

“規則和裁判對於防止崩潰和腐敗是必要的。加密不應該是例外。”

Waters on Tuesday released draft legislation that would ban the president, vice president, members of Congress, and members of their immediate family from owning crypto assets, serving an an officer or director at a crypto issuer, and receive any financial benefit from issuing or promoting crypto assets.

沃特斯（Waters）週二發布了立法草案，該草案將禁止總統，副總統，國會議員及其直系親屬擁有加密資產，在加密貨幣發行人的一名官員或董事中任職，並從發行或促進加密資產獲得任何經濟利益。
