Trump's new AI chief leaves the day after the SEC declares war on cryptocurrencies

特朗普政府任命杰伊·克莱顿执掌人工智能新机构,其加密货币背景引发关注

唐纳德·特朗普总统在美国的人工智能推进工作中启用了新的负责人。与本届政府的几乎所有人一样,他拥有深厚的加密货币背景。

10月4日,特朗普宣布成立“超级智能部队”(Super Intelligence Force,简称SIF)。该特遣部队负责协调联邦政府的工作,以确保美国在人工智能领域保持领先地位,特朗普将其称为“超级智能”。

负责人:前华尔街律师、现任国家情报总监杰伊·克莱顿

杰伊·克莱顿(Jay Clayton)是当前的国家情报总监。他是一名从华尔街律师转型而来的情报首脑。对于加密货币行业而言,他的名字与一个特定日期紧密相连:在他离开证券交易委员会(SEC)办公室的前一天,由他担任主席的SEC提起了加密货币历史上最具影响力的诉讼之一。

紧随其后的诉讼

克莱顿于2017年5月至2020年12月23日期间担任美国证券交易委员会(SEC)主席。该监管机构负责监督股票市场,并判定何种投资属于受其严格披露规则约束的“证券”。

2020年12月22日,即其任期倒数第二天,SEC起诉了Ripple Labs,指控该公司通过出售XRP作为未注册证券筹集了超过13亿美元的资金。克莱顿于次日离职。

需要明确的是:执法行动是由机构而非其主席个人发起的,且克莱顿的名字并未出现在SEC的公告中,该案源于其执法部门网络小组的调查。此后,无论是当时还是现在,他从未公开评论过这起针对Ripple的案件。

该案件几乎完全在其继任者加里·根斯勒(Gary Gensler)任内进行诉讼。根斯勒于2021年4月至2025年1月担任SEC主席,他在2023年裁决后继续推动上诉,并成为华盛顿政界定义的行业对立面人物。

事态影响远超一家公司

这场诉讼的影响远不止于一家公司。如果XRP被认定为证券,那么大多数加密货币可能也属于此类,整个美国加密货币行业都将接受SEC的监管。“加密货币究竟是什么——是证券还是货币”的问题,成为了华盛顿科技领域的标志性争论,而Ripple案则是其主要战场。

In 2023, Judge Analisa Torres issued a landmark divisive ruling: XRP is not a security per se, and Ripple's sales on a public cryptocurrency exchange do not violate securities laws-but its direct sales to institutional investors do. Both parties filed appeals, and the case dragged on for many years until it ended in a settlement after Trump returned to the White House in August 2025.

Is Clayton anti-cryptocurrency? Not exactly.

In a statement in December 2017, at the peak of the initial coin offering (ICOs) boom-ICOs are seen as the cryptocurrency version of the stock market, and start-ups raise money by selling new tokens-he acknowledged that they "play a useful role" for entrepreneurs. But his warning mainly addressed labeling issues: in the eyes of the law, calling tokens "utility tokens" does not prevent them from being recognized as securities.

A month later, in a joint statement with J. Christopher Giancarlo, then chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), he warned retail investors of the "high" risks of cryptocurrencies, while also acknowledging the need for regulators to remain "flexible and forward-looking" in such a "new, evolving and international" market.

fits the model of this administration

In this administration, a connection to cryptocurrency is almost a prerequisite for holding office.

Elon Musk, who led the "Department of Government Efficiency" until May 2026, personally owned Bitcoin and Ethereum. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed that he still holds Bitcoin. Vice President J.D. Vance Vance) also revealed his Bitcoin holdings.

Editor's Opinion

This choice reveals the way this administration thinks about artificial intelligence. Clayton is a markets lawyer-someone who spent four years deciding which financial innovations fit old rules. Putting him in charge of "superintelligence" shows that the White House views artificial intelligence leadership as a competition that needs to be established through coordination and regulation.
