前国会议员帕特里克·麦克亨利（Patrick MCHENRY

根据前国会议员帕特里克·麦克亨利（Patrick McHenry）的说法，加里·盖斯勒（Gary Gensler）对加密货币的强硬立场比个人信念更具政治剧院。

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.

产出：前国会议员帕特里克·麦克亨利（Patrick McHenry）指责即将离任的美国证券交易委员会主席加里·加斯勒（Gary Gensler）杂耍两个角色 - 一个在私人对话中，另一个在公开露面中 - 为理性政策提供政治权宜之计。

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.

麦克亨利（McHenry）在最近的《无岸播客》采访时声称，盖斯勒（Gensler）私下承认数字资产的价值，甚至表示对诸如代币AirDrops之类的创新的支持。但是，在公开声明中，Gensler保持了对加密货币的强硬立场，麦克亨利归因于参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）等人物的压力和政治生存的现实。

“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.

“他曾经在私人对话中告诉我，他对该行业的创新有多大赞赏。他会说，'我们需要小心不要过度调节这个行业。我喜欢他们对AirDrops的所作所为，并能够轻松筹款。”但是在参议院银行委员会中，他完全枢纽了。”麦克亨利说。

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.

这位前议员在国会期间本人面临选民和捐助者的要求，他说，Gensler的二元性扭曲了Crypto的监管，并最终侵蚀了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.

麦克亨利还批评沃伦参议员对加密的反对，他认为这是由于意识形态偏见而不是技术理解的推动。

“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.

麦克亨利说：“她对了解这项技术没有兴趣。她已经决定这很糟糕，而从事这项技术的人可能是坏人。”

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将于2024年1月辞职，他坚持认为，除了比特币外，大多数数字资产违反了证券法。但是，在他的领导下，SEC批准了现场比特币ETF，包括来自贝莱德的比特币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.

尽管据称该机构的内部立场将ETH归类为安全，但麦克亨利指责Gensler在听证此事时误导了国会。

“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.

“他们已经在内部决定了ETH是安全的，但是后来他在国会前说：'哦，我们仍在研究它。我们仍在研究案件的事实。”这是一个完整的捏造，”麦克亨利说。

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.

这位前国会议员认为，随着对加密货币友好的保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）即将接管的即将到来的领导力变动，将带来急需的监管优先事项。
