法院支持比特币和以太币的商品地位

在周三的数字商品参议院听证会上，比特币（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）被正式归类为商品，这是最大的加密货币在监管方面的胜利。

A court in Illinois has officially classified Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as digital commodities under the Commodity Exchange Act, according to testimony by Rostin Behnam, Chairman of the US Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), during a Digital Commodities Senate AG hearing on Wednesday.

美国商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 主席 Rostin Behnam 在数字商品参议院 AG 会议上作证称，伊利诺伊州一家法院已根据《商品交易法》将比特币 (BTC) 和以太坊 (ETH) 正式归类为数字商品周三举行听证会。

The hearing was covered live by Fox journalist Eleanor Terret, who reported on the key developments.

福克斯记者埃莉诺·特雷特对听证会进行了现场报道，她报道了主要进展。

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has jurisdiction over digital commodities, while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has jurisdiction over securities.

商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）对数字商品拥有管辖权，而证券交易委员会（SEC）对证券拥有管辖权。

The classification of BTC and ETH as digital commodities aligns with the CFTC's position and conflicts with previous statements by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, who has said that only Bitcoin falls under the securities classification.

将 BTC 和 ETH 归类为数字商品符合 CFTC 的立场，但与 SEC 主席 Gary Gensler 之前的声明相冲突，后者表示只有比特币属于证券分类。

During the hearing, Senator Sherrod Brown questioned the CFTC on the lessons learned from past crypto frauds, to which Behnam acknowledged the unique technology behind Bitcoin and digital assets, which warrants a distinct approach to cybersecurity and operational resilience compared to traditional asset classes.

在听证会上，参议员 Sherrod Brown 向 CFTC 询问了从过去的加密货币欺诈中吸取的教训，Behnam 承认比特币和数字资产背后的独特技术，与传统资产类别相比，需要采取独特的网络安全和运营弹性方法。

Fox Journalist Eleanor Terret reported that Senator Cory Booker expressed concerns about the prevalence of abuse in the market and the responsibility placed on the SEC and CFTC to address it.

福克斯新闻记者 Eleanor Terret 报道称，参议员 Cory Booker 对市场上普遍存在的滥用行为以及 SEC 和 CFTC 解决这一问题的责任表示担忧。

He noted that nearly half of the cases on the CFTC’s enforcement docket are related to crypto, describing it as an “extraordinary” statistic. Behnam agreed with Booker's assessment, highlighting the challenges faced by an agency that oversees trillion-dollar markets while regulating a market that Behnam said is outside its jurisdiction and lacks dedicated funding.

他指出，CFTC 执法案件中近一半的案件与加密货币有关，并将其描述为“非同寻常”的统计数据。贝纳姆同意布克的评估，强调了一个监管万亿美元市场的机构所面临的挑战，同时监管贝纳姆所说的不属于其管辖范围且缺乏专门资金的市场。

Senator Booker urged action, emphasizing the potential for increased exploitation and financial losses in the crypto market if regulatory measures are not promptly implemented.

参议员布克敦促采取行动，强调如果不及时实施监管措施，加密货币市场的剥削和经济损失可能会增加。

Terret also reported that Senator Roger Marshall addressed the jurisdictional conflict between the SEC and the CFTC in recent months, determining the classification of digital assets.

Terret 还报道称，参议员 Roger Marshall 解决了近几个月 SEC 和 CFTC 之间的管辖权冲突，确定了数字资产的分类。

Marshall suggested that the entire responsibility be placed under the jurisdiction of the CFTC, to which Behnam agreed, citing expertise and capacity; if this goes through, it would be a win for the entire regulation of the industry, as Behnam has previously stated his pro-crypto thoughts.

马歇尔建议将全部责任置于商品期货交易委员会的管辖范围内，贝南表示同意，并援引了专业知识和能力；如果这一计划得以实现，这将是整个行业监管的胜利，正如 Behnam 之前表达的支持加密货币的想法一样。

The hearing also touched on the issue of taxation in the crypto space, with Senator Tommy Tuberville raising concerns about the (Internal Revenue Service) IRS taxing BTC miners regardless of their profitability.

听证会还触及了加密货币领域的税收问题，参议员汤米·图伯维尔 (Tommy Tuberville) 对美国国税局 (IRS) 对 BTC 矿商征税（无论其盈利能力如何）表示担忧。

Behnam admitted his limited knowledge on the matter, prompting Tuberville to assert the need for a swift resolution to prevent harassment of individuals entering the crypto market.

Behnam 承认他对此事了解有限，促使 Tuberville 断言需要迅速采取解决方案，以防止骚扰进入加密市场的个人。

Worryingly, Behnam highlighted that while the SEC and CFTC coordinate enforcement actions, the two agencies lack regulatory coordination.

令人担忧的是，贝纳姆强调，虽然 SEC 和 CFTC 协调执法行动，但这两个机构缺乏监管协调。
