SEC Chairman Gary Gensler maintains his criticism of the cryptocurrency industry, emphasizing its prevalence of fraud in a Bloomberg TV interview on Wednesday.
美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 继续批评加密货币行业,并在周三接受彭博电视采访时强调该行业普遍存在欺诈行为。
Throughout his tenure, Gensler expressed satisfaction with the SEC's consistent enforcement actions in the crypto sector. He acknowledged the foundation laid by his predecessor, Jay Clayton, with approximately 80 crypto-related enforcement actions from 2017 to 2020. Under Gensler's leadership, the SEC initiated close to 100 similar actions.
在整个任期内,Gensler 对 SEC 在加密货币领域一贯的执法行动表示满意。他承认其前任杰伊·克莱顿 (Jay Clayton) 在 2017 年至 2020 年期间发起了约 80 项与加密货币相关的执法行动,奠定了基础。在 Gensler 的领导下,SEC 发起了近 100 项类似行动。
Despite representing less than 1% of U.S. financial markets, Gensler highlighted the high percentage of crypto-related scams. He expressed his skepticism towards the industry, stating, "I've never seen a field that is so wrapped up in sentiment and not so much about fundamentals."
尽管占美国金融市场的份额不到 1%,Gensler 强调了与加密货币相关的诈骗所占的很高比例。他表达了对该行业的怀疑,并表示:“我从未见过一个行业如此专注于情绪,而不是基本面。”
Gensler's comments emerge as he prepares to step down on January 20, coinciding with President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.
詹斯勒发表此番言论之际,他正准备于 1 月 20 日辞职,恰逢当选总统唐纳德·特朗普就职典礼。
Gensler, appointed by Biden, has voiced skepticism about crypto regulation. He vehemently opposed the FIT21 bill following its approval by the House.
由拜登任命的詹斯勒对加密货币监管表示怀疑。 FIT21法案获得众议院批准后,他强烈反对该法案。
Criticism surrounds Gensler's approach, with industry stakeholders expressing skepticism and frustration. They assert that his strict enforcement and classification of most crypto assets as securities have hindered innovation and created legal uncertainties.
Gensler 的方法受到了批评,行业利益相关者表达了怀疑和沮丧。他们声称,他对大多数加密资产作为证券的严格执行和分类阻碍了创新并造成了法律不确定性。
Gensler maintains that most cryptocurrencies meet the criteria of securities, encouraging firms to register with the SEC. Opponents within the industry argue that compliance is impractical given regulatory frameworks designed for traditional financial entities.
Gensler 认为大多数加密货币都符合证券标准,鼓励公司向 SEC 注册。行业内的反对者认为,鉴于针对传统金融实体设计的监管框架,合规是不切实际的。
In reflecting on his tenure, Gensler recognizes the challenges while emphasizing the SEC's contribution to existing efforts. "I'm proud of what we've accomplished, but there's still work to be done," he said.
在回顾其任期时,Gensler 认识到所面临的挑战,同时强调 SEC 对现有努力的贡献。 “我对我们所取得的成就感到自豪,但仍有工作要做,”他说。
