华盛顿（美联社） - 参议院民主党人阻止了立法来规范稳定币，这是一种加密货币形式

Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked legislation to regulate stablecoins, a form of cryptocurrency, after arguing that the bill needed stronger protections and airing concerns that it could help President Donald Trump enrich himself.

参议院民主党周四封锁了立法，以规范稳定币（一种加密货币形式），他辩称该法案需要更强有力的保护并提出担心，以帮助唐纳德·特朗普总统充实自己。

The bill, which would regulate how stablecoin issuers operate in the U.S., had previously won some Democratic support. But it failed 49-48 on a procedural vote after Democrats said that they needed to see more changes to the legislation before they could back it.

该法案将规范Stablecoin发行人在美国的运作方式，此前曾赢得过一些民主支持。但是，在民主党人说，他们需要对立法进行更多更改之前，在程序投票后以49-48的比分失败，然后才能支持立法。

Majority Leader John Thune said that Republicans would work with Democrats if they allowed the bill to move forward, but they refused. All Democrats voted not to bring it up.

多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune）说，如果允许民主党人允许该法案前进，他们将与民主党人合作，但他们拒绝了。所有民主党人都投票决定不提出它。

The vote is a blow to one of Trump’s top legislative priorities and a setback for the cryptocurrency industry, which spent heavily in last year’s election and has been emboldened to cement its influence in politics and the mainstream financial system. The legislation would aim to create a federal framework to regulate the stablecoin industry, which is currently governed by a patchwork of existing federal and state laws.

投票是对特朗普最重要的立法优先事项之一的打击，也是加密货币行业的挫折，该行业在去年的选举中花费了大量时间，并谨此巩固其在政治和主流金融体系中的影响力。该立法旨在建立一个联邦框架来规范稳定行业，该行业目前受现有联邦和州法律的拼凑而成。

Stablecoins are a fast-growing corner of the cryptocurrency industry that have produced enormous profits for some of the major players involved. They offer a buffer from cryptocurrency’s notorious volatility because they are pegged to real-world assets, like U.S. dollars or gold. Typically, that means a single stablecoin is worth $1, making them a much more reliable digital asset to make commercial transactions than other forms of crypto.

Stablecoins是加密货币行业的一个快速增长的角落，为一些主要参与者带来了巨大的利润。他们提供了加密货币臭名昭著的波动性的缓冲，因为它们与美元或黄金等现实世界中的资产挂钩。通常，这意味着单个稳定的价值为1美元，使其比其他形式的加密货币更可靠地进行商业交易。

While some Democrats agree that regulation is needed, and several voted to move the bill out of committee, Trump’s involvement in the crypto industry has complicated the legislation’s path. Trump launched a meme coin earlier this year that has generated more than $320 million in fees for its creators, according to the blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis. And earlier this week, Trump promoted a dinner he’s set to attend on May 22 that’s open to almost anyone who buys enough of the coins.

尽管一些民主党人同意需要法规，并且有几个民主党人投票通过将该法案移出委员会，但特朗普参与加密行业已经使立法的道路复杂化了。根据区块链分析公司的链分析，特朗普今年早些时候推出了一枚模因硬币，为其创作者带来了超过3.2亿美元的费用。本周早些时候，特朗普推广了他将在5月22日参加的晚餐，几乎所有购买了足够多的硬币的人开放。

Another Trump-family linked crypto venture called World Liberty Financial recently announced that it was issuing its own stablecoin, called USD1. The stablecoin got a huge boost when World Liberty Financial announced last week that an investment fund in the United Arab Emirates would be using $2 billion worth of USD1 to purchase a stake in Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

另一个名为World Liberty Financial的特朗普家庭联系的加密货币公司最近宣布，它正在发行自己的Stablecoin，称为USD1。当世界自由金融上周宣布，阿拉伯联合酋长国的投资基金将利用价值20亿美元的USD1购买Binance（全球最大的加密货币交易所Binance）的股份时，Stablecoin得到了巨大的推动。

Among other proposed changes, Democrats said that elected officials and their families should be barred from owning, controlling or promoting stablecoin business ventures.

民主党人说，在其他提议的变更中，民选官员及其家人应被禁止拥有，控制或促进Stablecoin商业企业。

“The Senate should not pass a bill that facilitates Trump’s breathtaking corruption and lines his pockets and welcomes other elected officials to do the same,” said Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）说：“参议院不应通过一项法案，促进特朗普令人叹为观止的腐败，并在他的口袋里排队，并欢迎其他民选官员这样做。”

A former skeptic turned zealous promotor, Trump has promised to usher in a golden age for the cryptocurrency industry. His administration has already taken many early actions without Congress to boost crypto, including establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve and undoing previously enforcement actions. But Trump needs Congress to get some of his and the deep-pocketed industry’s top priorities passed, including enacting the stablecoin legislation.

特朗普是一个前怀疑论者的热心推动者，他承诺将为加密货币行业带来黄金时代。他的政府已经采取了许多早期行动，而没有国会来提高加密货币，包括建立战略性比特币储备和撤销以前的执法行动。但是，特朗普需要国会来使他和沉重的行业的首要任务通过，包括制定稳定立法。

The legislation could still move forward if the two parties can come to a deal. Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat who has been helping negotiate the legislation, said in a statement after the vote that he would continue to work on it.

如果双方可以达成协议，该立法仍然可以继续前进。弗吉尼亚州参议员马克·华纳（Mark Warner）一直在帮助谈判立法，他在投票后的一份声明中说，他将继续为此努力。

“I remain fully committed to getting this right,” Warner said.

华纳说：“我仍然完全致力于解决这个问题。”

A group of nine Democrats, including Warner, said in a release over the weekend that they could not support the legislation until it included stronger provisions on money laundering, foreign issuers and accountability for those who violate it, among other concerns. They did not mention Trump.

包括华纳在内的九个民主党人中的一群人在周末的一份释放中说，直到为违反该立法提供更强有力的洗钱，外国发行人和责任制，他们才能支持该立法。他们没有提及特朗普。

“We recognize that the absence of regulation leaves consumers unprotected and vulnerable to predatory practices,” the Democrats said.

民主党人说：“我们认识到，没有监管的情况使消费者不受保护，并且容易受到掠夺性习俗的影响。”

Thune, the Republican leader, questioned Democrats’ motives, speculating that they just wanted to deny Trump a bipartisan win.

共和党领导人图恩（Thune）质疑民主党的动机，猜测他们只是想否认特朗普两党的胜利。

“It makes you wonder if this is about the bill at all,” he said of their opposition.

他谈到反对派时说：“这让你想知道这是否完全是关于该法案的。”
