Five Democratic senators are pressing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi to disclose any ties between Binance and the Trump family's new crypto venture, according to a letter seen by CoinDesk.

根据科德斯克（Coindesk）的一封信，五名民主党参议员正在敦促财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）和总检察长帕姆·邦迪（Pam Bondi）披露了Binance与特朗普家族新的加密货币合资企业之间的任何关系。

The senators, led by Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Mazie Hirono (D-HI), grew more pressing in their inquiry into the Treasury and Justice Department’s oversight of Binance following the exchange’s 2023 guilty plea and settlement.

参议员由克里斯·范·霍伦（D-MD），伊丽莎白·沃伦（D-MA），理查德·布鲁门塔尔（Richard Blumenthal）（D-CT），谢尔登·怀特豪斯（Sheldon Whitehouse），谢尔顿·怀特豪斯（Sheldon Whitehouse）和马齐·赫罗诺（D-RI）和Mazie Hirono（D-Hi）越来越急剧，在他们询问Treasury and Justice Department the Treasury and Justice Department the Binance the Binance之后的20223年20223年的监督下，越来越多。

"We are writing with concerns about recent reports of meetings between Binance executives and officials from the Treasury Department and the administration of Justice," the lawmakers began.

立法者开始说：“我们正在写信，担心近期有关义务主管与财政部官员与司法管理的官员之间的会议的报道。”

They continued: "According to the *Wall Street Journal*, the discussions concerned the company’s compliance obligations set in place following Binance’s 2023 guilty plea and settlement in federal court on charges of money laundering, operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, violating U.S. sanctions laws, and failing to prevent and report suspicious transactions with terrorist groups, including Hamas and ISIS."

他们继续说：“根据《华尔街日报》 *，讨论涉及公司在2023年2023年在联邦法院的有罪认罪和解决方案之后，对公司的合规义务，涉及洗钱，经营无证的货币传输业务，违反美国制裁法，违反美国制裁法，并未能预防和报告与恐怖主义团体（包括Hamas和Isis）的恐怖分子，包括HAMAS和ISIS，包括Hamas和Isis。”

The inquiry highlighted concerns over links between the cryptocurrency exchange and the Trump family’s new crypto venture, World Liberty Financial.

该调查强调了对加密货币交易所与特朗普家族新的加密货币公司《世界自由金融》之间的联系的担忧。

"Our concerns about Binance’s compliance obligations are even more pressing given recent reports that the company is using the Trump family’s stablecoin to partner with foreign investment companies," the senators wrote. They added: "We are also mindful of reports that the Trump family is launching a new crypto venture, reportedly called World Liberty Financial, which they are rolling out in partnership with Binance and reportedly seeking to use to open a bank in the Bahamas."

参议员写道：“鉴于最近有报道称，该公司正在使用特朗普家族的稳定公司与外国投资公司合作，我们对Binance的合规义务的关注更加紧迫。”他们补充说：“我们还注意到特朗普家族正在开展一项新的加密货币，据报道称为世界自由金融，他们正在与Binance合作推出，据报道，他们试图在巴哈马开设一家银行。”

The senators went on to voice alarm over reports that the administration is rolling back regulatory scrutiny on crypto firms in response to complaints from industry executives.

参议员继续对报道说，政府正在对加密货币公司进行监管审查，以应对行业高管的投诉。

"As the Administration loosens oversight on an industry where bad actors have violated money laundering and sanctions law, it is not surprising that Binance, which has admitted to prioritizing its own growth and profits over compliance with U.S. law, would seek to reduce the regulatory scrutiny on its activities," the lawmakers wrote.

立法者写道：“由于不良行为者违反了洗钱和制裁法的行业的监督，毫不奇怪的是，已经承认将其自身增长和利润优先于美国法律而优先考虑其利润的二进制会试图减少对活动的监管审查。”

The 2023 plea agreement saw Binance admit to exiting the U.S. market and submit to multi-year supervision by independent monitors selected by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Department of Justice. Former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) also pleaded guilty to several charges and received a four-month prison sentence.

2023年的认罪协议认为，Binance承认退出美国市场，并由金融犯罪执法网络和司法部选择的独立监视器进行多年监督。前首席执行官Changpeng Zhao（CZ）也认罪了几项指控，并被判处四个月的监禁。

Concerns have mounted in recent months over reports that the Trump family is financially interwined with Binance’s operations.

最近几个月，人们对特朗普家族在财务上与Binance的业务交织在一起引起了人们的关注。

In April, the Financial Times reported that Binance was planning to launch a new investment fund in partnership with Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.'s company, holding an interest in a Bahamian bank. The venture was said to be using the Trump family’s stablecoin, USD1, to attract investments from China and the Middle East.

《金融时报》 4月报道说，Binance计划与Ivanka Trump和Jr. Donald Trump Jr.的公司合作启动新的投资基金，对巴哈马银行持有兴趣。据说该合资企业正在利用特朗普家族的稳定公司USD1吸引来自中国和中东的投资。

The senators' letter highlighted these reports, demanding details about the Treasury and Department of Justice’s actions to enforce the terms of Binance’s settlement, the status of its U.S. exit and any communications concerning a potential pardon for Zhao or discussions about USD1.

参议员的来信强调了这些报告，要求有关财政部和司法部执行Binance解决条款的行动的细节，其美国退出的地位以及有关Zhao潜在的任何沟通或有关USD1的讨论的任何沟通。

"We request a copy of any correspondence, communication or internal memoranda concerning any discussions, proposals or plans to pardon or grant clemency to Mr. Zhao," the senators wrote.

参议员写道：“我们要求提供有关赦免或授予Zhao先生的任何讨论，提案或计划的任何信件，通讯或内部备忘录的副本。”

They added: "We further request any documents concerning the Trump family’s new crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, including any correspondence, communication or internal memoranda concerning the administration’s knowledge of this venture and any role that Treasury or DOJ played in facilitating it."

他们补充说：“我们进一步要求任何有关特朗普家族新的加密货币的文件，世界自由财务，包括有关政府对这项企业的了解以及财政部或美国司法部在促进其促进的任何角色的任何信件，沟通或内部备忘录。”

The senators' request comes amid broader concerns that the administration is rolling back U.S. efforts to combat illicit finance in response to complaints from crypto executives and lobbying groups.

参议员的要求在更广泛的担忧中提出，政府正在为应对加密高管和游说团体的投诉而努力打击非法财务。

While critics of crypto argue that the administration is rolling back enforcement and allowing crypto firms to operate with impunity, others warn that overly aggressive regulation risks stifling American leadership in blockchain innovation.

尽管对加密货币的批评者认为，政府正在退缩执法，并允许加密货币公司不受惩罚地运作，但其他政府则警告说，过于积极的监管有可能扼杀美国在区块链创新方面的领导地位。
