CFTC 主席推动数字商品立法，强调比特币、以太币作为商品的地位

Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Rostin Behnam attended a U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry hearing on Wednesday to discuss the need for oversight of digital commodities. He highlighted the significant evolution and volatility of the digital asset market.

商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 主席 Rostin Behnam 周三出席了美国参议院农业、营养和林业委员会的听证会，讨论了对数字商品进行监管的必要性。他强调了数字资产市场的重大演变和波动。

Testifying before the Senate panel, Behnam stressed the urgent need for comprehensive federal legislation to regulate the digital commodity market, highlighting the numerous market scandals and fraudulent activities. He also pointed out the recent court ruling that reaffirmed the status of bitcoin and ether as commodities.

贝纳姆在参议院小组作证时强调，迫切需要制定全面的联邦立法来规范数字商品市场，并强调了众多的市场丑闻和欺诈活动。他还指出，最近法院的裁决重申了比特币和以太坊作为商品的地位。

“Just last week, a District Court in the Northern District of Illinois entered summary judgment in favor of the CFTC in a case involving fraud by an unregistered entity that promised steady returns in digital asset commodities such as bitcoin and ether,” Behnam stated. “In its decision, the court reaffirmed that both bitcoin and ether are commodities under the Commodity Exchange Act.”

贝纳姆表示：“就在上周，伊利诺伊州北区地方法院在一宗涉及未注册实体欺诈的案件中做出了有利于 CFTC 的简易判决，该实体承诺在比特币和以太币等数字资产商品上提供稳定回报。” “在其判决中，法院重申比特币和以太币都是《商品交易法》规定的商品。”

The CFTC chief noted that it has been almost nine years since the CFTC first brought an enforcement action in connection with an illegal bitcoin operation. “Since that time, the agency has been aggressive in using our powerful, but limited anti-fraud and anti-manipulation authorities,” he added.

CFTC 负责人指出，自 CFTC 首次针对非法比特币运营采取执法行动以来，已经过去近九年了。 “从那时起，该机构一直积极利用我们强大但有限的反欺诈和反操纵权力，”他补充道。

“In total, the CFTC has brought over 135 digital commodity cases resulting in billions in penalties and restitution. All along, CFTC enforcement staff has worked closely with our civil and criminal law enforcement partners at the federal and state levels,” Behnam continued.

“CFTC 总共提起了超过 135 起数字商品案件，导致数十亿美元的罚款和赔偿。一直以来，CFTC 执法人员都与我们联邦和州层面的民事和刑事执法合作伙伴密切合作，”Behnam 继续说道。

He also pointed out that the escalating rate of digital asset enforcement cases since 2020 mirrors the accelerated and sustained adoption of digital assets by U.S. investors.

他还指出，2020年以来数字资产执法案件不断升级，反映出美国投资者对数字资产的加速和持续采用。

Despite the CFTC's efforts, Behnam highlighted the limitations of their current anti-fraud and anti-manipulation authorities, especially in the spot market for non-security tokens. He called for new legislative authority to close the regulatory gap.

尽管 CFTC 做出了努力，但 Behnam 强调了其当前反欺诈和反操纵机构的局限性，特别是在非证券代币的现货市场上。他呼吁建立新的立法机构来缩小监管差距。

Furthermore, the CFTC chairman emphasized the importance of international coordination and regulatory certainty to prevent exploitation by bad actors while supporting innovation and economic benefits.

此外，CFTC 主席强调了国际协调和监管确定性的重要性，以防止不良行为者利用，同时支持创新和经济效益。

“We must continue working together to ensure that U.S. markets remain the safest, most competitive, and most innovative in the world,” Behnam concluded.

贝纳姆总结道：“我们必须继续共同努力，确保美国市场仍然是世界上最安全、最具竞争力和最具创新性的市场。”
