參議院民主黨阻止兩黨加密貨幣法案

商會於5月8日以48-49投票，避免對該立法進行最終投票。兩名共和黨人，肯塔基州的蘭德·保羅（Rand Paul）和密蘇里州的喬什·霍利（Josh Hawley）對所有現任民主黨人投票反對。

Senate Democrats blocked a bipartisan bill to create a legal framework for cryptocurrency after concerns about President Donald Trump's connections to the industry threw negotiations over the bill into chaos.

在擔心唐納德·特朗普與該行業的聯繫後，參議院民主黨人封鎖了兩黨法案，以建立加密貨幣的法律框架，以使該法案的談判陷入混亂。

The chamber voted 48-49 on May 8, averting a final vote on the legislation. Two Republicans, Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Josh Hawley of Missouri, voted with all present Democrats against it. Hawley told reporters after the vote that he wanted "big tech prohibitions" in the legislation, while Paul raised concerns that regulations could hurt the industry.

商會於5月8日以48-49投票，避免對該立法進行最終投票。兩名共和黨人，肯塔基州的蘭德·保羅（Rand Paul）和密蘇里州的喬什·霍利（Josh Hawley）對所有現任民主黨人投票反對。霍利在投票後告訴記者，他希望在立法中“大型技術禁令”，而保羅提出了對法規可能損害該行業的擔憂。

Senate Republican Leader John Thune also voted against it in a procedural move that will allow it to come up for another vote.

參議院共和黨領導人約翰·圖恩（John Thune）也以程序舉動投票反對，這將使它再次投票。

The vote caps a week of frantic negotiations after a group of nine Democrats who had previously supported the bill abruptly announced on May 3 that they would no longer support the stablecoin bill, dubbed the GENIUS Act, citing concerns that the legislation didn't do enough to prevent money laundering and protect national security.

投票限制了一周的瘋狂談判，此前一群九個民主黨人此前曾支持該法案在5月3日突然宣布的該法案，他們將不再支持該法案，並認為該法案稱為《天才法案》，理由是該立法沒有足夠的行動來防止洗錢和保護國家安全。

At least seven Democrats would be needed to pass the legislation in the Senate, where lawmakers need at least 60 votes to overcome the filibuster. The bill has been aggressively supported by crypto lobbyists and is expected to accelerate the currency's growth.

至少需要七名民主黨人通過參議院的立法，在那裡立法者需要至少60票才能克服訴訟。該法案已得到加密遊說者的積極支持，預計將加速貨幣的增長。

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York told reporters after the vote that an updated bill text wasn't yet available after the days of negotiations. "How do you vote for a bill if you haven't seen the text?"

投票後，紐約的參議院民主黨領導人查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）告訴記者，在談判時期，尚未提供更新的法案文字。 “如果您還沒有看過文字，您如何投票？”

The change came after the Trump administration moved to support the crypto industry's growth in the United States, including creating a "strategic bitcoin reserve" and digital asset stockpile, and pulling back from a Biden-era crackdown on the industry.

在特朗普政府採取行動支持加密貨幣行業在美國的增長之後，這一變化發生了，包括創建“戰略性比特幣儲備”和數字資產庫存，並從對該行業的Biden-era鎮壓中退縮。

At the same time, Trump family businesses with connections to crypto are benefiting.

同時，與加密貨幣有聯繫的特朗普家族企業正在受益。

Two cryptocurrency investments owned by Trump-affiliated entities have made at least $300 million in trading fees alone since January on sales of his meme coin and other digital currency.

自1月份以來，特朗普附屬實體擁有的兩項加密貨幣投資僅收取了至少3億美元的交易費用。

In late April, a company affiliated with Trump promoted the $TRUMP meme coin by offering an “intimate private dinner” with the president at his northern Virginia golf club, after which the coin's value grew as much as 80%.

4月下旬，一家與特朗普相關的公司通過與他的北弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部的總統一起提供“親密的私人晚餐”，推廣了$特朗普的模因硬幣，此後，硬幣的價值增長了80％。

And another Trump family crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, announced on May 1 that one of its digital coins is being used by an Abu Dhabi government-backed investment firm for a $2 billion investment in cryptocurrency exchange Binance − a major outlay from a foreign government to the benefit of Trump's family.

另一家特朗普家庭加密公司世界自由金融公司（World Liberty Financial）於5月1日宣布，阿布扎比政府支持的投資公司正在使用其數字硬幣之一，用於對加密貨幣交易所進行的20億美元投資 - 與外國政府的重大支出 - 對特朗普的福利。

A White House spokeswoman said Trump's "assets are in a trust managed by his children, and there are no conflicts of interest."

白宮一位女發言人說，特朗普的資產“是由他的孩子管理的信託，沒有利益衝突。”

These moves have prompted investigations and a committee hearing walkout from Congressional Democrats in recent days.

這些舉動促使調查和委員會在最近幾天聽取國會民主黨的罷工。

"Donald Trump is selling cryptocurrency like snake oil in the Wild West, and he's put a for sale sign on the White House for his meme coin," Sen. Richard Blumenthal told USA TODAY. "People in America deserve to know how he is potentially under the influence of foreign governments and investors who are buying his crypto assets."

參議員理查德·布盧門塔爾（Richard Blumenthal）告訴《今日美國》，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）正在野外西部出售像蛇油這樣的加密貨幣，他在白宮上賣了一個待售標誌。 ” “美國的人們應該知道他如何在購買加密貨幣資產的外國政府和投資者的影響下。 ”
