美国证券交易委员会的加密货币政策被国会称为“流氓”
在周二的高风险国会听证会上，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 和其他委员因处理数字资产而面临严厉批评。这次至关重要的听证会反映出人们对 SEC 加密货币监管日益不满。
委员会主席帕特里克·麦克亨利（Patrick McHenry）猛烈抨击 Gensler 涉嫌对数字资产过度监管。他指责该委员会的行为就像一个流氓机构，同时该机构针对 Coinbase、Uniswap 和 OpenSea 等公司采取激进行动。
Gensler 的 SEC 因加密货币越权而受到抨击
随着批评者要求更透明的指导方针，该机构在加密货币方面的监管作用再次成为人们关注的焦点。包括卡罗琳·克伦肖 (Caroline Crenshaw)、海梅·利扎拉加 (Jaime Lizárraga) 和马克·乌耶达 (Mark Uyeda) 在内的所有五名委员都出庭作证，听证会揭示了美国证券交易委员会在如何监管数字资产方面日益加深的分歧。
SEC 专员 Hester Peirce （也被称为“加密货币妈妈”）表达了她对该机构缺乏透明度的担忧。我们采取了法律上不精确的观点来掩盖监管清晰度的缺乏，”皮尔斯指出，同时强调了加密行业中证券defi的混乱。
在听证会上，国会议员布拉德·谢尔曼表示：“这是保护投资者的首要机构，它对几乎所有其他无形投资资产负有责任。”他补充道，“我们可以提供澄清，尽管我认为没有必要，但我们可以通过一项额外的法规来澄清加密货币是一种证券。”

Eleanor Terrett, a Fox Business journalist, reported that Hester Peirce undermined Gensler over the situation and suggested that the commission has taken a legally imprecise view to mask the regulatory lack of clarity when it comes to crypto.
“We’ve fallen down on our duty as a regulator by not being precise,” she said. Peirce highlighted that the agency should have long ago acknowledged that a token itself is not a security.
Crypto mom strikes back
Crypto Mom further criticized the SEC’s regulation by enforcement strategy and called it inefficient, creating uncertainty about the boundaries of the SEC’s authority.
Rep. French Hill pressed Jaime Lizárraga on the watchdog’s stance toward bipartisan crypto legislation, cutting in as Lizárraga deferred to Congress. The Lawmaker prompted Lizárraga to defend the SEC’s actions by citing the fraud risks in the crypto market.
Meanwhile, Gary Gensler repeated the SEC’s “merit neutral” position on blockchain technology. He stated that “Whether it’s on a blockchain ledger or not, we focus on the economics of the investment, and we remain merit neutral.”
SEC Chair once again leaned on the Howey Test to justify his agency’s approach to regulating digital assets. However, Rep Ritchie Torres (D-NY) sharply criticized Gensler’s interpretation, calling it idiosyncratic. Torres even warned that Gensler’s stance could blur the line between collectibles and securities, potentially classifying “any piece of art, music, or consumer good” as a security.
