美國證券交易委員會的加密貨幣政策被國會稱爲“流氓”
在週二的高風險國會聽證會上，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 和其他委員因處理數字資產而面臨嚴厲批評。這次至關重要的聽證會反映出人們對 SEC 加密貨幣監管日益不滿。
委員會主席帕特里克·麥克亨利（Patrick McHenry）猛烈抨擊 Gensler 涉嫌對數字資產過度監管。他指責該委員會的行爲就像一個流氓機構，同時該機構針對 Coinbase、Uniswap 和 OpenSea 等公司採取激進行動。
Gensler 的 SEC 因加密貨幣越權而受到抨擊
隨着批評者要求更透明的指導方針，該機構在加密貨幣方面的監管作用再次成爲人們關注的焦點。包括卡羅琳·克倫肖 (Caroline Crenshaw)、海梅·利扎拉加 (Jaime Lizárraga) 和馬克·烏耶達 (Mark Uyeda) 在內的所有五名委員都出庭作證，聽證會揭示了美國證券交易委員會在如何監管數字資產方面日益加深的分歧。
SEC 專員 Hester Peirce （也被稱爲“加密貨幣媽媽”）表達了她對該機構缺乏透明度的擔憂。我們採取了法律上不精確的觀點來掩蓋監管清晰度的缺乏，”皮爾斯指出，同時強調了加密行業中證券defi的混亂。
在聽證會上，國會議員布拉德·謝爾曼表示：“這是保護投資者的首要機構，它對幾乎所有其他無形投資資產負有責任。”他補充道，“我們可以提供澄清，儘管我認爲沒有必要，但我們可以通過一項額外的法規來澄清加密貨幣是一種證券。”

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.
