继上个月国会通过数字资产立法的努力失败后，商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）周一公布了监管加密货币市场的新提案。该机构是预计将监督该行业的两个主要金融监管机构之一，该机构通知了其推进加密资产交易和市场规则制定的计划。新规则将规定现有商品法如何适用于涉及数字资产的交易，此外还将建立一种新型交易所，仅与CFTC进行此类资产的交易。
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) unveiled new proposals Monday for regulating cryptocurrency markets, after an effort to pass digital asset legislation through Congress came up short last month. The agency, one of two main financial regulators expected to oversee the industry, gave notice of its plans to move forward with rulemaking on both crypto asset transactions and markets. The new rules would lay out how existing commodities law applies to transactions involving digital assets, in addition to establishing a new type of exchange that can with the CFTC solely for the trading of such assets.
新的交易所被称为加密资产市场，将专门处理以保证金、杠杆或融资方式交易的零售加密交易。CFTC主席Michael Selig周一在福特汉姆法学院准备好的讲话中强调，这为“加密资产交易所创造了联邦选择”，但并不要求所有人都与该机构合作。“就像银行监管体系一样，公司可以选择追求联邦或州宪章，每种类型的宪章授权公司从事不同类型的允许活动，加密货币公司应该可以根据公司打算提供的产品和服务自由寻求州许可证或联邦注册，”他说。
The new exchanges, called crypto asset markets, would specifically handle retail crypto transactions that are traded on a margined, leveraged or financed basis. CFTC Chair Michael Selig underscored Monday in prepared remarks at Fordham Law School that this creates a "federal option for crypto asset exchanges" but does not require all to with the agency. "Just like the banking regulatory system, where firms may choose to pursue either a federal or state charter, with each type of charter authorizing the firm to engage in differing types of permissible activities, crypto firms should be free to pursue state licenses or federal registrations based upon the products and services the firm intends to offer," he said.
“只有国会才有权强制所有加密资产与委员会进行交换，”他继续说道。塞利格指出，提供基本加密货币现货交易的平台不需要与该机构合作，而是可以接受州监管机构的监督。就在《清晰法案》在参议院未能通过几周后，CFTC提出了新的规则制定提案。该法案旨在为加密货币市场创建一个监管框架，将监督权分配给CFTC和美国证券交易委员会。
"Only Congress has the authority to mandate that all crypto asset exchanges with the Commission," he continued. Platforms offering basic crypto spot transactions would not be required to with the agency and can instead be overseen by state regulators, Selig noted. The CFTC's new proposed rulemaking comes just weeks after the Clarity Act fell short in the Senate. The bill aimed to create a regulatory framework for crypto markets, splitting oversight between the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
上个月，该立法未能通过程序性投票，所有民主党人和几名共和党人都投票反对推进该措施后，这些机构迅速采取行动自行解决这个问题。塞利格周一表示：“我对国会未能将《清晰法案》提交给总统感到失望，”他补充道，“但特朗普总统承诺无论有没有立法，都将建立加密资产监管市场结构，我们将帮助他利用我们现有的法定权力来实现它。"
The agencies have quickly moved to take up the issue themselves after the legislation failed to clear a procedural vote last month, with all Democrats and several Republicans voting against advancing the measure. "I’m disappointed that Congress failed to deliver the Clarity Act to the President’s desk," Selig said Monday, adding, "But President Trump promised to deliver a crypto asset regulatory market structure with or without legislation, and we will help him deliver it using our existing statutory authorities."
