美國參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）和理查德·布盧門塔爾（Richard Blumenthal）已寫信給元數據，以尋求有關公司與Stablecoin相關計劃的詳細信息

參議員已要求元首席執行官馬克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）澄清該公司是否打算發起穩定的人。

US senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal have written to Meta seeking details on the company's stablecoin-related plans.

美國參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）和理查德·布魯門塔爾（Richard Blumenthal）已寫信給元數據，以尋求有關該公司與Stablecoin相關計劃的細節。

The senators have asked Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to clarify whether the company intends to launch its stablecoin or will be forming a partnership with an existing stablecoin firm, given its mammoth global userbase and the impending final vote on the US stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act.

參議員已要求元首席執行官馬克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）澄清該公司是否打算發起其穩定的公司，或者將與現有的Stablecoin公司建立合作夥伴關係，鑑於其猛mm象全球用戶群和即將對美國以Stablecoin的最終投票，這是以Stablecoin為中心的Genius Act。

Their letter to Meta, dated June 11, comes after a Fortune report recently claimed that the company was looking at stablecoins to facilitate cross-border payouts in a cost-effective way.

他們給6月11日的梅塔（Meta）的信是在最近的《財富》報告最近聲稱該公司正在研究以成本效益的方式促進跨境支出的穩定幣。

While Meta itself has neither confirmed nor denied reports around its potential stablecoin plans, the letter from the senators have cited multiple media reports which brought the topic to light.

儘管梅塔本身既沒有證實也沒有否認有關其潛在的穩定計劃的報告，但參議員的信引用了多個媒體報導，這些報告揭示了這一主題。

"Meta's pursuit of a stablecoin project raises serious concerns. The company tried to issue its private currency in 2019 — as part of the so-called Libra stablecoin project— and was met with overwhelming bipartisan and international opposition. If Meta controlled its own stablecoin, the company could further pry into consumers' transactions and commercial activity," the correspondence said.

“梅塔（Meta）對一個穩定項目的追求引起了嚴重的關注。該公司試圖在2019年發行其私人貨幣 - 作為所謂的天秤座穩定項目的一部分 - 並與壓倒性的兩黨和國際反對派遇到。如果梅塔（Meta）控制了自己的stablecoin，該公司可以進一步介紹消費者的經濟體和商業活動，並說出了對應物的交流。”

The senators have expressed concerns about the threats to financial privacy and industry competition of big tech companies making a trend out of issuing their own private currencies.

參議員對大型科技公司的財務隱私和行業競爭的威脅表示擔憂，從而使自己發行自己的私人貨幣產生了趨勢。

Here's What the Senators Have Asked Meta to Clarify

這是參議員要求梅塔澄清的內容

In May, Fortune cited five anonymous sources in its report that claimed that Meta had started discussions with stablecoin firms regarding its potential plans. The US Senators have now asked the company to provide a list of stablecoin companies with which it may have consulted since January 1, 2025.

5月，《財富》在其報告中引用了五個匿名消息來源，聲稱Meta已經開始與Stablecoin公司就其潛在計劃進行討論。美國參議員現在要求該公司提供自2025年1月1日以來可能與之諮詢的Stablecoin公司清單。

The Facebook parent has been asked to clarify whether it is considering issuing and controlling its own stablecoin, or whether it will form a partnership with an existing stablecoin company. Currently, Circle and Tether are regarded as the top two stablecoin companies globally. Other companies like PayPal and Ripple have also rolled out their stablecoin offerings in recent times.

已要求Facebook父母澄清它是否正在考慮發行和控制自己的Stablecoin，或者是否將與現有的Stablecoin公司建立合作夥伴關係。目前，Circle和Tether被視為全球兩家Stablecoin公司。 Paypal和Ripple等其他公司最近也推出了他們的Stablecoin產品。

The senators have further asked the Zuckerberg-led firm to confirm if, in any way, it has lobbied the federal agencies on crypto legislation. Furthermore, if the company has provided any verbal or written feedback on the GENIUS Act, it has also been asked for clarification.

參議員進一步要求扎克伯格領導的公司確認是否以任何方式遊說了聯邦機構的加密立法。此外，如果該公司提供了有關《天才法》的任何口頭或書面反饋，也已被要求進行澄清。

As its final question, the letter has asked if the social networking giant will oppose an amendment to the GENIUS Act that restricts Big Tech firms from owning, managing, or partnering with stablecoin issuers.

作為最後的問題，這封信詢問了社交網絡巨頭是否會反對對《天才法》的修正案，該法案限制了大型科技公司擁有，管理或與Stablecoin發行人合作。

The California-based company has up to June 17 to respond to the senators.

這家總部位於加利福尼亞的公司截至6月17日，對參議員做出回應。

Senator Warren's Opposition

參議員沃倫的反對

Stablecoins are crypto assets whose value is pegged to underlying reserve assets, such as fiat currencies. Since USD-pegged stablecoins uphold a 1:1 value ratio with the U.S. dollar, they can essentially be seen as digital counterparts to traditional currency. Along with Meta, other companies are also considering the use of stablecoins in order to cut down the costs of processing international financial transactions. Last week, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said that his company is also looking at stablecoins use cases.

Stablecoins是加密資產，其價值與基礎儲備資產（例如法定貨幣）掛鉤。由於美元固定的Stablecoins與美元保持1：1的價值比率，因此可以將它們視為與傳統貨幣的數字同行。與元公司一起，其他公司還考慮使用穩定幣，以降低處理國際金融交易的成本。上週，Uber首席執行官Dara Khosrowshahi表示，他的公司也在研究Stablecoins用例。

Last month, Senator Warren sat for an interview with CoinDesk, where she said that small businesses could be choked off from the payments systems if Big Tech firms start issuing their versions of the US dollar.

上個月，參議員沃倫（Warren）坐在接受科德斯克（Coindesk）的採訪中，她說，如果大型科技公司開始發行其美元版本，那麼小型企業可能會從支付系統中cho住。

She said that the GENIUS Act must prohibit big tech firms - with access to global userbases - from realising their own versions of fiat currencies as it would give them access to the financial patterns of international citizens.

她說，《天才法案》必須禁止大型科技公司（可以使用全球用戶群）實現自己的法定貨幣版本，因為這將使他們獲得國際公民的財務方式。

"Stablecoins pose money laundering, consumer protection, and national security risks that, if left unchecked and administered by a company with a checkered compliance history, could significantly harm the American public. Meta has a troubling record when it comes to operating its platform," the letter to Meta signed by Warren noted.

“穩定幣會造成洗錢，消費者保護和國家安全風險，如果由具有方格合規歷史的公司未經檢查和管理，可能會對美國公眾產生重大傷害。在操作其平台時，梅塔（Meta）的記錄令人不安。”

At present, the GENIUS Act awaits final approval from the House of Senate in the U.S. In May, the proposed legislation was approved by the House Financial Services Committee.

目前，《天才法》等待著5月在美國參議院的最終批准，擬議的立法已獲得眾議院金融服務委員會的批准。
