حقائق رئيسية

  • أعلن رئيس هيئة الأصول المالية الأمريكية (CFTC) مايك سيليغ عن مبادرة شاملة بعنوان 'مضادة للزمن' لتحديث التنظيم المالي للأصول الرقمية والتقنيات الناشئة.
  • تبتعد المبادرة عن سنوات من 'التنظيم القائم على الإنفاذ' نحو قواعد واضحة ومخصصة يتم إقرارها عبر عمليات صياغة القواعد الرسمية مع إتاحة الفرصة للتعليق.
  • تستعد هيئة الأصول المالية لتوسيع سلطاتها على أسواق الأصول الرقمية إذا أقر الكونغرس قانون وضوح سوق الأصول الرقمية، الذي سيؤسس إطاراً رسمياً لسوق العملات الرقمية.
  • انتقد سيليغ الأساليب السابقة لتطبيق القواعد القديمة على المنتجات الجديدة، والتي زعم أنها دفعت الشركات الناشئة إلى العمل في الخارج وحدت من وصول المشاركين الأمريكيين إلى السوق.
  • ستركز الوكالة على 'الجرعة التنظيمية الفعالة الدنيا' - قواعد تحمي من الاحتيال والتلاعب دون خنق التجارب.
  • توسع أسواق العملات الرقمية من تجربة متخصصة إلى سوق يتجاوز قيمته 3 تريليون دولار، مما يستلزم إنشاء أطر تنظيمية مصممة خصيصاً لهذا الغرض.

عصر جديد للمال الرقمي

تضع هيئة الأصول المالية الأمريكية مساراً مختلفاً بشكل جذري للتنظيم المالي في العصر الرقمي. كشف رئيس الهيئة مايك سيليغ عن مبادرة طموحة بعنوان 'مضادة للزمن' مصممة لتحديث الإشراف على التقنيات الناشئة، مما يشير إلى تحول حاسم نحو الوضوح التنظيمي للأصول الرقمية وأسواق البلوك تشين.

تمثل هذه الخطوة انحرافاً جوهرياً عن الأساليب السابقة، مع إعطاء الأولوية لصياغة القواعد الاستباقية بدلاً من إجراءات الإنفاذ التفاعلية. تأتي هذه المبادرة في لحظة محورية حيث تقدمات تقنية البلوك تشين والذكاء الاصطناعي تخلق منتجات ومنصات مالية جديدة تماماً لم تكن اللوائح القديمة مصممة للإشراف عليها.

تشكل المبادرة

أعلن سيليغ عن مبادرة 'مضادة للزمن' عبر بيان سياسة ومقال رأي مصاحب، واصفاً إياها كخطوة حاسمة للأسواق المالية الأمريكية. أكد رئيس الهيئة أن القواعد التي يعود تاريخها لعقود مكتوبة في الأصل لأسواق العقود الآجلة الزراعية - المصممة لسلع مثل لحوم الخنزير والقمح - لا تضع في اعتبارها أسواق البلوك تشين الأصلية التي تعمل على مدار الساعة طوال أيام الأسبوع.

ستقوم المراجعة الشاملة بفحص اللوائح الحالية لهيئة الأصول المالية لتحديد ما يجب تحديثه أو استبداله لاستيعاب فئات الأصول الجديدة ومساحات التداول بشكل أفضل. تتعامل هذه الجهود مع الواقع بأن الأطر التنظيمية التقليدية بنيت لعصر مختلف من الأسواق المالية.

تشمل العناصر الرئيسية للمبادرة:

  • مراجعة شاملة للوائح القديمة
  • تطوير قواعد مخصصة للأصول الرقمية
  • تحديث الإشراف على أسواق التنبؤ
  • التكيف مع التداول القائم على البلوك تشين على مدار 24 ساعة

القواعد التي يعود تاريخها لعقود مكتوبة في الأصل لأسواق العقود الآجلة الزراعية مثل لحوم الخنزير والقمح لا تضع في اعتبارها أسواق البلوك تشين الأصلية التي تعمل على مدار الساعة طوال أيام الأسبوع. يجب على هيئة الأصول المالية أن تلبي المبتكرين حيث هم.

"تقدمات التكنولوجيا تغير مشهد الخدمات المالية كما نعرفه."

— مايك سيليغ، رئيس هيئة الأصول المالية

تحول الفلسفة التنظيمية

تمثل المبادرة تبايناً حاداً مع نهج إدارة بايدن، الذي انتقد سيليغ تطبيقه للوائح القديمة على المنتجات الجديدة عبر إجراءات الإنفاذ بدلاً من صياغة القواعد الرسمية. زعم أن هذه الاستراتيجية دفعت الشركات الناشئة إلى العمل في الخارج وحدت من وصول المشاركين الأمريكيين إلى السوق.

تحت النهج الجديد، ستركز هيئة الأصول المالية على ما يصفه سيليغ بـ الجرعة التنظيمية الفعالة الدنيا - قواعد تحمي من الاحتيال والتلاعب والاعتداء دون خنق التجارب. سيتم إقرار السياسات المستقبلية عبر صياغة القواعد مع إتاحة الفرصة للتعليق لتوفير الاستدامة عبر الإدارات.

تعكس هذه الفلسفة إدراكاً أوسع بأن عدم اليقين التنظيمي كان عائقاً كبيراً للابتكار. من خلال إقرار قواعد واضحة وقابلة للتنبؤ، تهدف الوكالة إلى خلق بيئة يمكن للشركات الأمريكية فيها بناء وتوسيع تقنيات مالية جديدة دون خوف من إجراءات إنفاذ مفاجئة.

إجراء كونغرسي وشيك

أشار سيليغ إلى أن الكونغرس الآن على حافة إقرار قانون وضوح سوق الأصول الرقمية، الذي سيؤسس إطاراً رسمياً لسوق العملات الرقمية في الولايات المتحدة. إذا تم إقراره، سيوسع التشريع بشكل كبير سلطات هيئة الأصول المالية على أسواق الأصول الرقمية، مما يضع الوكالة كمنظم أساسي لقطاعات كبيرة من اقتصاد العملات الرقمية.

أعرب رئيس الهيئة عن ثقته بأن هيئة الأصول المالية مستعدة لتولي هذا الدور الموسع، مما يضمن بقاء الابتكار على الشاطئ بدلاً من دفعه إلى الخارج بسبب عدم اليقين التنظيمي. تتضمن هذه الاستعدادات استعداد الوكالة لتنفيذ أطر جديدة تعكس الخصائص الفريدة للأصول الرقمية.

كان نمو هذه الأسواق كبيراً، حيث توسع سوق العملات الرقمية من تجربة متخصصة إلى سوق يتجاوز 3 تريليون دولار قيمة. هذا الحجم يستلزم أطر تنظيمية مصممة خصيصاً لهذا الغرض بدلاً من إعادة تأهيلها من الأسواق المالية التقليدية.

الأسواق الموجهة بالتكنولوجيا

أكد سيليغ أن تقدمات التكنولوجيا تغير مشهد الخدمات المالية كما نعرفه. يمكن لأي شخص لديه هاتف ذكي واتصال بالإنترنت الآن الوصول إلى أسواق نظير إلى نظير تعمل على مدار الساعة، مما يخلق فرصاً وتحديات للم regulators.

تعترف المبادرة بمحركين تكنولوجيين رئيسيين:

  • تقنية البلوك تشين التي تمكين الأسواق اللامركزية على مدار 24 ساعة
  • الذكاء الاصطناعي المستخدم بشكل متزايد في إدارة المخاطر واستراتيجيات التداول

تتطلب هذه التطورات أطر تنظيمية يمكنها التكيف مع التغير التكنولوجي السريع مع الحفاظ على سلامة السوق. تهدف مبادرة 'مضادة للزمن' إلى إنشاء قواعد مرنة بما يكفي لاستيعاب الابتكارات المستقبلية مع توفير حدود واضحة للمشاركين في السوق.

التأثير الرئاسي

أرجع سيليغ الفضل إلى أجندة دونالد ترامب التنظيمية الأوسع لإنشاء الظروف لما وصفه بـ 'العصر الذهبي' المحتمل للأسواق المالية الأمريكية. أكد رئيس الهيئة أن التنسيق بين الجهات التنظيمية المالية سيكون حاسماً مع إعادة تشكيل التشريعات الجديدة للإشراف على الأصول الرقمية.

يمثل هذا التنسيق انحرافاً عن النهج المجزأ الذي ميز الجهود التنظيمية السابقة. من خلال توحيد أهداف الوكالات المختلفة، تهدف الإدارة إلى خلق بيئة تنظيمية أكثر اتساقاً تدعم الابتكار مع حماية المستثمرين والحفاظ على استقرار السوق.

إذا أقر الكونغرس تشريع هيكل السوق وسلم لنا المشعل، فسنضمن процветة هذه الأسواق في الداخل. يجب أن تُصنع الابتكارات العظيمة اليوم وغداً في أمريكا.

النظر إلى الأمام

تمثل مبادرة 'مضادة للزمن' نقطة تحول كبيرة في التنظيم المالي الأمريكي، مع تداعيات تمتد إلى ما هو أبعد من قطاع العملات الرقمية. من خلال التحرك نحو قواعد واضحة ومخصصة والابتعاد عن الأساليب القائمة على الإنفاذ، تضع هيئة الأصول المالية موقعاً

Inside the relationship of Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance, who are expecting their fourth child

Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and his wife Usha Vance arrive to speak at a campaign rally, Saturday, July 27, 2024, in St. Cloud, Minn. Alex Brandon/AP JD Vance, Donald Trump's vice president, is a former senator from Ohio. Vance met his wife, Usha Vance, while they were both students at Yale Law School. They wed in both Christian and Hindu ceremonies in 2014 and are expecting their fourth child. When Fox News asked Usha Vance in June 2024 how she felt about her husband, JD Vance, being considered as Donald Trump's running mate, she told host Lawrence Jones that she was "not raring to change anything about our lives right now." But it appeared she came around — she spoke at the Republican National Convention as her husband was officially nominated to join the ticket and appeared alongside him at Trump campaign's victory party on election night. JD Vance, the former junior senator from Ohio and bestselling author of "Hillbilly Elegy," and Usha Vance, a litigator whose résumé includes a Supreme Court clerkship, met as students at Yale Law School and wed in 2014. Since becoming vice president and second lady, the Vances have taken several international trips together, including a visit to the US military's Pituffik Space Base in Greenland in March 2025. On Tuesday, the Vances announced that they are expecting their fourth child, making Usha Vance the first second lady in US history to be pregnant while in office. Here's a look inside the relationship of the newest GOP power couple who serve as vice president and second lady. Born in Ohio and raised by his grandparents in Kentucky, JD Vance joined the Marines and graduated from Ohio State University. Gaelen Morse/Getty Images JD Vance served as a public affairs Marine in Iraq, liaising between service members and members of the press. After his military service, he majored in political science and philosophy at Ohio State University. Usha Vance studied history at Yale and taught American history in Guangzhou as a Yale-China Teaching Fellow. FILE - Usha Vance, wife of Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, listens as he speaks at a campaign event, Aug. 7, 2024, in Eau Claire, Wis. Alex Brandon, File/AP Usha Vance grew up in a suburb of San Diego. Her parents are Indian immigrants. Usha Vance told Fox News in June that her parents' Hindu faith was "one of the things that made them such good parents, that make them very good people." She was a registered Democrat until 2014. The couple met while they were students at Yale Law School. U.S. Senate Republican candidate JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, embrace after casting their ballots in the midterm elections in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S., November 08, 2022. Gaelen Morse/Reuters In law school, Usha Vance served as executive development editor of the Yale Law Journal and managing editor of the Yale Journal of Law and Technology, according to a bio on the website of her former employer, Munger, Tolles & Olson, that has since been removed. She also worked pro bono with the Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic, the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic, and the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project. Usha Vance told NBC News in 2017 that she and JD Vance took all of their classes together and were friends before they started dating. When they were assigned to work on a brief together, Usha Vance said she was impressed by his diligence. "I've never seen anybody so starstruck," their law school professor, Amy Chua, said of JD Vance in an interview with NBC News. "It was love at first sight." They wed in 2014 and held both Christian and Hindu ceremonies. CINCINNATI, OH - MAY 3: Republican U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance embraces his wife Usha Vance after winning the primary, at an election night event at Duke Energy Convention Center on May 3, 2022 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Vance, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, narrowly won over former state Treasurer Josh Mandel, according to published reports. Drew Angerer/Getty Images Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019, The American Conservative reported. Usha Vance was raised Hindu. When asked about their interfaith marriage in a June 2025 interview with Fox News, Usha Vance said: "There are a lot of things that we just agree on, I think, especially when it comes to family life, how to raise our kids. So I think the answer really is that we just talk a lot." While speaking at a Turning Point USA event in October 2025, JD Vance said that he hoped his wife would someday convert to Christianity. "Do I hope that eventually she is somehow moved by what I was moved by in church? Yeah, honestly, I do wish that, because I believe in the Christian Gospel, and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way," he said. "But if she doesn't, then God says everybody has free will, and so that doesn't cause a problem for me." In 2016, JD Vance published his best-selling memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," in which he wrote about his relationship with Usha Vance. Vance's novel, "Hillbilly Elegy," illustrated the lives of poor, white Americans. Jeff Swensen JD Vance's memoir details his working-class upbringing and the lives of poor, white Americans. He also wrote about how Chua, his professor, encouraged him to focus on his relationship with Usha Vance as a Yale law student. When JD Vance asked Chua to recommend him for a federal clerkship, she warned him that it's "the type of thing that destroys relationships." "Amy's advice stopped me from making a life-altering decision. It prevented me from moving a thousand miles away from the person I eventually married," Vance wrote. "Most important, it allowed me to accept my place at this unfamiliar institution — it was okay to chart my own path and okay to put a girl above some shortsighted ambition," he continued. "My professor gave me permission to be me." After law school, JD Vance worked at VC firms while Usha Vance landed prestigious clerkships. SUN VALLEY, ID - JULY 13: Venture capitalist and author JD Vance (2nd from R) shakes hands with Tim Cook (R), chief executive officer of Apple, on the third day of the annual Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference, July 13, 2017 in Sun Valley, Idaho. Every July, some of the world's most wealthy and powerful businesspeople from the media, finance, technology and political spheres converge at the Sun Valley Resort for the exclusive weeklong conference. Drew Angerer/Getty Images Vance worked at Mithril Capital, a VC firm backed by Peter Thiel, in 2016. One former coworker previously told Business Insider that Vance was often away from the job promoting his book, "Hillbilly Elegy." Thiel ended up being instrumental in Vance's rise to power in politics, donating $15 million to his Senate campaign and encouraging Trump to choose Vance as his running mate, The New York Times reported. Vance went on to work at Revolution, a VC firm in Washington, DC, before founding his own firm, Narya Capital, in 2019. Meanwhile, Usha Vance worked as a litigator at Munger, Tolles & Olson before leaving to clerk for Judge Brett Kavanaugh in the US Court of Appeals and Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts. Following her clerkships, she returned to Munger, Tolles & Olson, according to a bio on the firm's website that has since been removed. They have three children, and they are expecting their fourth in July. ST CLOUD, MINNESOTA - JULY 28: Republican vice presidential nominee U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) carries his daughter Mirabel Vance as he arrives with wife Usha Vance to greet supporters at the Park Diner on July 28, 2024 in St Cloud, Minnesota. Vance joined U.S. Republican Presidential nominee former President Donald Trump for a campaign rally last night in Minnesota. Stephen Maturen/Getty Images Their first child, Ewan, was born a month before Usha Vance began her clerkship with Chief Justice Roberts, NBC News reported. They also have another son, Vivek, and a daughter, Mirabel. In January 2026, the Vances announced that they are expecting their fourth child, a boy, in July. Usha Vance appeared in a political ad and at campaign events when JD Vance ran for Congress in 2022. Republican U.S. Senate candidate JD Vance speaks to supporters with wife Usha Vance and family at an election watch party at the Renaissance Hotel on November 8, 2022 in Columbus, Ohio. Vance defeated Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) in the race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH). Andrew Spear/Getty Images In the ad, Usha Vance described her husband as "an incredible father" and "my best friend." In an interview with Newsmax about the ad, Usha Vance also responded to media reports about Vance's dramatic transformation from a "Never Trumper" to a staunch Trump supporter. "Sometimes people say that he's changed a lot, but the truth is I've known him now for so many years and he's always been so true to himself," she said. As Trump vetted JD Vance for the vice presidency, Usha Vance expressed ambivalence about the possibility of him being chosen. Donald Trump (left) and JD Vance Jeff Swensen/Getty Images "I'm not raring to change anything about our lives right now, but I really believe in JD and I love him, so we'll see what happens with our lives," she told Fox News in June 2024. When Trump chose JD Vance as his 2024 running mate in July, Usha Vance quit her job as a litigator. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - JULY 15: Trump's pick for Vice President, U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and his wife Usha Chilukuri Vance arrive on the first day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum on July 15, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Delegates, politicians, and the Republican faithful are in Milwaukee for the annual convention, concluding with former President Donald Trump accepting his party's presidential nomination. The RNC takes place from July 15-18. Joe Raedle/Getty Images On the first day of the Republican National Convention, when Trump announced JD Vance as his vice presidential pick, a spokesperson for Munger, Tolles & Olsen told ABC News that Usha Vance had left the firm. "Usha has been an excellent lawyer and colleague, and we thank her for her years of work and wish her the best in her future career," the spokesperson said. Usha Vance spoke at the Republican National Convention about meeting and falling in love with JD Vance. Usha Vance revealed that she's a vegetarian in her speech, drawing audible gasps from the crowd. Brian Snyder/Getty Images Usha Vance said that when they first met, JD Vance approached their differences "with curiosity and enthusiasm." "Although he's a meat and potatoes kind of guy, he adapted to my vegetarian diet and learned to cook food from my mother, Indian food," Usha Vance said in her speech. "Before I knew it, he'd become an integral part of my family, a person I could not imagine living without." JD Vance acknowledged racist attacks against his wife from white supremacists. Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, walks onstage with his wife Usha Vance at a campaign event in Charlotte, N.C., Monday, Sept. 23, 2024. Nell Redmond/AP After white nationalist Nick Fuentes questioned JD Vance's ability to "support white identity" with an Indian wife, he voiced support for his spouse. "Look, I love my wife so much. I love her because she's who she is," JD Vance said in an interview with Megyn Kelly in July. "Obviously, she's not a white person, and we've been attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha." He also hit back against the attacks on ABC News' "This Week," telling host Jonathan Karl in August, "Look, my attitude to these people attacking my wife is, she's beautiful, she's smart. What kind of man marries Usha? A very smart man and a very lucky man, importantly." He continued, "Don't attack my wife. She's out of your league." JD Vance thanked his "beautiful wife" in a post on X after he and Trump won the election in November. FLORIDA, UNITED STATES - NOVEMBER 06: Senator JD Vance (3rd L) and his wife Usha Chilukuri Vance (2nd L), former senior adviser to Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump (3rd R) and former senior White House adviser, Jared Kushner (2nd R) attend an election night event held by Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, United States, on November 06, 2024. Anadolu/Anadolu via Getty Images Usha Vance appeared alongside her husband and members of the Trump family at the campaign's election night event in Palm Beach, Florida. "THANK YOU!" Vance wrote on X after the election results came in. "To my beautiful wife for making it possible to do this. To President Donald J. Trump, for giving me such an opportunity to serve our country at this level. And to the American people, for their trust. I will never stop fighting for ALL of you." At the 2025 inauguration, Usha Vance held the Bible as JD Vance was sworn in as vice president. WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 20: J.D. Vance is sworn in as U.S. Vice President as his wife Usha Vance looks on during the Inauguration of Donald J. Trump in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda on January 20, 2025 in Washington, DC. Donald Trump takes office for his second term as the 47th president of the United States. Kevin Lamarque/Pool/Getty Images JD Vance was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Usha Vance's former boss when she clerked for him in the US Court of Appeals. They took their first foreign trip together as vice president and second lady in February 2025, visiting France and Germany.

IAN LANGSDON/AFP via Getty Images The vice president attended the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris and the Munich Security Conference. He and Usha Vance also visited the Dachau concentration camp in Germany. They brought their three children along on Air Force Two. In March 2025, JD Vance joined Usha Vance to visit Pituffik Space Base, the sole US military base in Greenland. PITUFFIK, GREENLAND - MARCH 28: US Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance pose as they tour the US military's Pituffik Space Base on March 28, 2025 in Pituffik, Greenland. The itinerary for the visit was scaled back after a plan for a more extensive trip drew criticism from officials in Greenland and Denmark, which controls foreign and defence policy of the semiautonomous territory. Jim Watson/Pool/Getty Images Since winning a second non-consecutive term in the White House, Trump has doubled down on his intention to acquire Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory where the US has a military base. The governments of Greenland and Denmark have maintained that it is not for sale, but Trump has said he would not rule out using force. In March 2025, the White House announced that Usha Vance would embark on a solo trip to Greenland to "visit historical sites, learn about Greenlandic heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersua, Greenland's national dogsled race." The government of Greenland said that they had not invited any delegations to visit, and Greenland's Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede called the trip "very aggressive." Trump said that Greenland had asked the US to visit. Usha Vance's trip was subsequently scaled back to visiting Pituffik Space Base, the US military's northernmost installation in Greenland. In a video, JD Vance announced he would travel with her. "There was so much excitement around Usha's visit to Greenland this Friday that I decided I didn't want her to have all that fun by herself, and so I'm going to join her," he said. Taylor Van Kirk, JD Vance's press secretary, told Business Insider that the Vances were "proud" to visit Greenland. "The security of Greenland is critical in ensuring the security of the rest of the world, and the Vice President looks forward to learning more about the island," Van Kirk said. Usha Vance was seen without her wedding ring in November, sparking scrutiny of their marriage that the second lady's spokesperson dismissed. Usha Vance spoke to service members and their families in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images During a public appearance at military bases in North Carolina, observers noticed that Usha Vance wasn't wearing her wedding ring. In a statement to People magazine, the second lady's spokesperson described Usha Vance as "a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes." JD Vance also addressed the marriage rumors, telling NBC News that "we kind of get a kick out of it" and that their marriage was "as strong as it's ever been."

China’s coal-fired export ban was cheered by the West. Then came the massive blackouts

In 2021, when Beijing finally pledged to stop building and financing new coal power plants overseas, Western governments and climate advocates rejoiced. John Kerry, US climate envoy at the time, said he was “absolutely delighted to hear” of the decision. It is “a key topic of my discussions during my visit to China”, Alok Sharma, a member of the British House of Lords, wrote on social media, suggesting it was a result of pressure from the West. But now, from Chile to Spain to Portugal, country...
