参议院民主党人封锁了一项旨在规范美国加密货币的首先法案

在民主党人与共和党人之间进行了几个月的激烈谈判之后，投票进行了投票。

Senate Democrats blocked a first-of-its-kind bill aimed at regulating cryptocurrency in the US amid Democratic concerns over President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency dealings and a request from several senators to postpone the vote on advancing the legislation.

参议院民主党人封锁了一项旨在规范美国加密货币的首个法案，这是在民主党对唐纳德·特朗普总统的加密货币往来的担忧，以及几位参议员的要求推迟对立法推进立法的投票。

The vote came after months of intense negotiations between Democrats and Republicans, and it will likely mark the end of an effort that began in January to pass a bipartisan bill. The final tally was 49-48, with GOP Sens. Rand Paul, Josh Hawley and Cynthia Lummis joining Democrats in voting against advancing the bill.

在民主党人和共和党之间进行了几个月的激烈谈判之后，投票就进行了，这很可能标志着一月份通过两党法案开始的努力的结束。决赛的成绩是49-48，GOPSens。RandPaul，Josh Hawley和Cynthia Lummis与民主党人共同投票反对推进该法案。

The bill, dubbed the GENIUS Act, focused on what is known as “stablecoin,” a digital currency tied to the value of a specific asset — in this case the US dollar. The push for the bill represented a rare bipartisan effort in the Senate for major legislation. But while there is general agreement across the Senate that regulation is necessary, key Democrats ultimately balked at moving ahead.

该法案称为《天才法》，重点介绍了所谓的“ stablecoin”，这是一种与特定资产价值相关的数字货币 - 在这种情况下为美元。该法案的推动代表了参议院在重大立法中罕见的两党努力。但是，尽管参议院达成了一般性的同意，但主要民主党人最终拒绝前进。

After it became clear that Senate Republicans planned to put the bill on the floor this week, nine Senate Democrats who had been open to backing the bill penned a letter last Saturday saying they needed further changes to the legislation, beyond addressing concerns over Trump’s crypto dealings, before they could vote to advance it.

在很明显的是，参议院共和党计划本周将该法案放在地板上之后，九名参议院民主党人在上周六宣布了一封信，他们上周六写了一封信，说他们需要对立法进行进一步的更改，除了解决对特朗普的加密货币交易的担忧之外，他们才能投票投票以推进它。

“The bill as it currently stands still has numerous issues that must be addressed, including adding stronger provisions on anti-money laundering, foreign issuers, national security, preserving the safety and soundness of our financial system, and accountability for those who don’t meet the act’s requirements,” they wrote.

他们写道：“该法案目前所面临的法案仍然存在许多问题，包括增加有关反洗钱，外国发行人，国家安全，保留我们金融体系的安全性和声音的更强有力的规定，以及对不符合该法案要求的人的责任。”

Earlier Thursday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune pushed for enough Democrats to vote for the bill so that they could reach the 60-vote threshold needed to advance it, and he insisted negotiations could continue on the details of the legislation after clearing the hurdle.

周四早些时候，参议院多数党领袖约翰·杜恩（John Thune）推动足够的民主党人投票赞成该法案，以便他们可以达到促进该法案所需的60票阈值，他坚持认为谈判可以在清除障碍后继续进行立法的细节。

“If senators would like the opportunity to make further modifications to the bill, I encourage them to vote for cloture. Once we’re on the bill, we can discuss changes here on the floor,” Thune said. “We’ve had an open process on this bill so far, so why stop now?”

Thune说：“如果参议员希望有机会对该法案进行进一步的修改，我鼓励他们投票赞成Cloture。一旦我们加入了法案，我们就可以在地板上讨论更改。” “到目前为止，我们已经在这项法案上开了一个公开的过程，所以为什么现在停止呢？”

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren has led the charge against the bill, arguing that the GENIUS Act will “supercharge Donald Trump’s corruption,” and that it does not have the necessary guardrails to protect consumers.

民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）领导了对该法案的指控，认为《天才法》将“增强唐纳德·特朗普的腐败”，并且没有必要的护栏来保护消费者。

“The only version of this bill that we have seen is one that the Republicans put out, and it has four major areas that are problems. The first one is it would supercharge Donald Trump’s corruption. The second is that it puts national security at risk,” said Warren.

沃伦说：“我们看到的这项法案的唯一版本是共和党人提出的一项，它有四个主要的问题。第一个是将唐纳德·特朗普的腐败加重。第二个是使国家安全处于危险之中。”

“The third is that it undercuts consumer protection and consumer protection laws, and the fourth is runs a substantial risk of eventually blowing up the US economy and putting us once more in a position where taxpayers have to bail out the billionaires while they end up paying for the risks that the rich people took on.”

“第三个是它削弱了消费者的保护和消费者保护法，第四章的风险很大，最终炸毁了美国经济，并再次使我们处于纳税人必须救助亿万富翁的情况下，而他们最终为有钱人承担的风险带来了付出的风险。”

She added that Democrats don’t want to “get rolled” on this issue, and that she trusts that Senate Republicans will take their concerns into account before calling for a vote on final passage of the bill.

她补充说，民主党人不想在这个问题上“陷入困境”，她相信参议院共和党人会在要求对该法案的最终通过之前考虑他们的担忧。

In addition, some Democrats who had previously backed the bill sought to demonstrate their opposition to the president’s crypto dealings by sponsoring the End Crypto Corruption Act, which would block the president, vice president, members of Congress, senior executive officials and their families from endorsing or issuing cryptocurrencies.

此外，一些以前曾支持该法案的民主党人试图通过赞助《最终加密腐败法》来证明他们反对总统的加密货币，该法案将阻止总统，副总统，国会议员，高级执行官员及其家人认可或发行加密货币。

While there are plenty of bipartisan bills introduced in a Congress this closely divided, it’s rare to see a major piece of regulatory legislation authored by senators from both sides of the isle gain traction. The GENIUS Act, which stands for the bipartisan and Inclusive Stabletoken and digital Currencies Advancement Act, was co-sponsored by Gillibrand and Alsobrooks, led on the Republican side by Sens. Bill Hagerty and Cynthia Lummis, and it advanced out of the Senate Banking Committee in March by a vote of 18-6, with five Democrats supporting it.

尽管在国会中介绍了许多两党法案，但很少见到来自小岛双方的参议员撰写的主要监管立法。 《天才法案》代表两党和包容性的稳定货币和数字货币进步法，由吉利布兰德和阿尔索布鲁克斯共同赞助，在共和党方面由Sens。BillHagerty和Cynthia Lummis率领，并由参议院银行委员会在3月份由18-6名民主党的投票中获得了参议院银行委员会，并获得了支持。

Members kept negotiating this week, holding two member-level meetings on Wednesday and continuing to speak as the hours ticked down towards the scheduled vote to advance the bill Thursday afternoon. Sen. Ben Ray Lujan, who had signed onto the letter from Democrats on Saturday, told CNN they needed more space to do so.

成员本周不断进行谈判，周三举行了两次会员级会议，并继续讲话，因为时间降低了预定的投票，以提高该法案，以提高该法案。参议员本·雷·卢扬（Ben Ray Lujan）于周六签署了民主党的信，他告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN），他们需要更多的空间才能这样做。

“There has to be some certainty to everyone involved, including the leader, scheduling votes, things of that nature. Or it could be a vote that maybe could move into early next week to give the staff the necessary time to be able to put everything on paper as well.”

“参与其中的每个人都必须确定，包括领导者，安排票，那种性质的事情。或者可能是一个投票，也许可以下周早些时候进入，以便为员工提供必要的时间，以便能够将所有内容也放在纸上。”

Democratic Sen. Mark Warner, one of the lead negotiators, said in a statement, “While we’ve made meaningful progress on the GENIUS Act, the work isn’t yet complete, and I simply cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to vote for this legislation when the text isn’t yet finished.” Another negotiator, Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego, formally requested that they push the

首席谈判代表之一的民主党参议员马克·华纳（Mark Warner）在一份声明中说：“尽管我们在《天才法案》上取得了有意义的进步，但工作尚未完成，我根本无法良心要求我的同事在文本尚未完成时为这项立法投票。”另一位谈判代表民主党参议员鲁本·加勒戈（Ruben Gallego）正式要求他们推动
