When you start lending it out,\" Amy Lynch, a former SEC regulator and president of FrontLine Compliance, told MarketWatch in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon.<blockquote>“加密资产什么时候成为证券？当你开始借出它的时候，”美国证券交易委员会前监管机构、FrontLine Compliance 总裁艾米·林奇 (Amy Lynch) 周三下午在接受 MarketWatch 电话采访时表示。</blockquote> Coinbase had planned to eventually expand its crypto lending program to other assets outside of USD Coin.<blockquote>比特币基地曾计划最终将其加密贷款计划扩展到美元硬币以外的其他资产。</blockquote> Lynch said she advises that companies that offer crypto lending services register with the SEC or go through a broker/dealer to comply with regulatory rules.<blockquote>林奇说，她建议提供加密贷款服务的公司向美国证券交易委员会注册或通过经纪人/交易商来遵守监管规则。</blockquote> For example, Gemini partners with crypto lender Genesis, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group. In that case, Gemini, owned by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, collects part of the spread between interest paid on the crypto and interest Genesis charges on its loans to institutions.<blockquote>例如，Gemini 与数字货币集团子公司加密贷款机构 Genesis 合作。在这种情况下，双胞胎卡梅伦 (Cameron) 和泰勒·温克莱沃斯 (Tyler Winklevoss) 拥有的 Gemini 收取了加密货币支付的利息与其向机构提供贷款的利息费用之间的部分差价。</blockquote> Lynch said Coinbase may not be eager to establish such an arrangement because it would mean sharing fees.<blockquote>林奇表示，比特币基地可能并不急于建立这样的安排，因为这意味着分摊费用。</blockquote> \"If the SEC decided that this is an area of concern, they are going to start looking more closely at the firms that do this,\" she said.<blockquote>“如果美国证券交易委员会认为这是一个值得关注的领域，他们将开始更仔细地调查这样做的公司，”她说。</blockquote> Indeed, The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the SEC sent letters to companies seeking information about crypto lending platforms. MarketWatch's sister publication reported that the regulator sought information, including on whether digital assets being offered are securities that should be registered.<blockquote>事实上，《华尔街日报》最近报道称，美国证券交易委员会向寻求加密贷款平台信息的公司发出了信函。MarketWatch 的姊妹出版物报道称，监管机构寻求信息，包括所提供的数字资产是否是应该注册的证券。</blockquote> R.A. Farrokhnia, a professor at Columbia Business School, said Coinbase represents financial innovation and that regulation should not stifle the \"new new thing.\"<blockquote>R.A。哥伦比亚商学院教授法罗克尼亚表示，Coinbase 代表着金融创新，监管不应扼杀“新事物”。</blockquote> \"What you are witnessing is the evolution of crypto, and specifically the next phase is decentralized finance,\" Farrokhnia said.<blockquote>“你正在目睹的是加密货币的演变，特别是下一阶段是去中心化金融，”Farrokhnia 说。</blockquote> \"Regrettably, despite crypto being in our financial ecosystem for the past several years, there hasn't been a clear-cut regulatory framework...indicating what's allowed and what isn't allowed,\" he said.<blockquote>“不幸的是，尽管加密货币在过去几年中一直存在于我们的金融生态系统中，但还没有一个明确的监管框架……表明什么是允许的，什么是不允许的，”他说。</blockquote> \"So, this lack of regulatory clarity on what exactly is considered a security under the existing framework...[without the] creation of brand-new regulation, custom-made for our new reality, is causing all sorts of confusion,\" Farrokhnia said, explaining that he believes the SEC should express greater willingness to collaborate with the nascent crypto industry.<blockquote>“因此，在现有框架下，对于到底什么被视为证券缺乏监管明确性……[没有]根据我们的新现实制定全新的法规，正在造成各种混乱，”Farrokhnia 说，并解释说他认为 SEC 应该表达更大的意愿与新兴的加密货币行业合作。</blockquote> Gensler, who has trained the SEC's focus on investor protections -- perhaps more than any other regulator to date -- has openly said that he also aims to upgrade crypto rules.<blockquote>詹斯勒曾对美国证券交易委员会的投资者保护进行过培训——也许比迄今为止任何其他监管机构都多——他公开表示，他还打算升级加密货币规则。</blockquote> \"To the extent that something is a security, the SEC has a lot of authority. And a lot of crypto tokens -- I won't call them cryptocurrencies for this moment -- are indeed securities,\" Gensler told CNBC during an interview back in May.<blockquote>“就某种东西是证券而言，美国证券交易委员会拥有很大的权力。很多加密代币——我暂时不会称它们为加密货币——确实是证券，”詹斯勒在五月份接受 CNBC 采访时表示。</blockquote> \"We need to update and freshen our rules to ensure that, while retail investors and any individual has First Amendment rights to speak and so forth, that they're not misleading the public, they're not manipulating the public, manipulating the markets,\" he said.<blockquote>“我们需要更新和更新我们的规则，以确保虽然散户投资者和任何个人都有第一修正案的发言权等，但他们不会误导公众，不会操纵公众，操纵市场，”他说。</blockquote> Lynch said the SEC's stance on Coinbase's lending may be influenced by a recent lawsuit against BitConnect, which offered its own digital security in 2016 in exchange for bitcoin and created an automated program that made money by trading the contributed bitcoin. Investors thought profits were being shared but the SEC alleges that the program was an elaborate Ponzi scheme.<blockquote>林奇表示，SEC 对 Coinbase 贷款的立场可能会受到最近针对 BitConnect 的诉讼的影响，BitConnect 在 2016 年提供了自己的数字安全性以换取比特币，并创建了一个自动化程序，通过交易贡献的比特币来赚钱。投资者认为利润正在被分享，但美国证券交易委员会声称该计划是一个精心策划的庞氏骗局。</blockquote> Coinbase shares on Wednesday finished down 3.2% and are down 7.3% for the week, compared with a weekly decline for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&amp;P 500 index of 0.5% and 1%, respectively.<blockquote>比特币基地股价周三收盘下跌 3.2%，本周下跌 7.3%，而道琼斯工业平均指数和标普500指数的周跌幅分别为 0.5% 和 1%。</blockquote>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
