Hey everyone, have you heard? According to the Financial Times, U.S. regulators are starting to take major action in the field of crypto accounts! The CFPB has proposed giving digital wallets 'bank-level' protection, meaning that if service providers cause damage to our wallets due to hackers or unauthorized transactions, they will have to compensate us. Moreover, they plan to expand the 'safety net' of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to cover stablecoins and other digital assets, building a 'security fortress' for crypto accounts. They are currently seeking industry opinions, with a deadline of March 31. This could potentially transform the U.S. crypto market and significantly increase our sense of security! #加密账户 #美国监管

Tether actively participates in regulatory negotiations in the United States, plans to launch a 'dedicated' stablecoin as a 'settlement currency'

Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, recently revealed that the company is negotiating with U.S. regulators on stablecoin rules and may launch a dollar-pegged token exclusively for the U.S. market. This initiative was proposed following President Trump's recent announcement of new 'reciprocal tariffs' policies, which have heightened concerns over global growth prospects and led to a sharp decline in the U.S. stock market.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Paolo Ardoino stated that if the new rules intensify market competition, the company may consider launching a stablecoin specifically for the U.S. market. He also added that if the new regulations can create a more competitive market environment, Tether 'may launch a domestic stablecoin in the U.S.' and position it as a fundamental 'settlement currency'.

Currently, although Tether does not directly serve U.S. customers, its USDT global circulation has reached $144 billion, with over 400 million users. Ardoino emphasized that Tether is the only company cooperating with the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service, voluntarily requesting to comply with U.S. law enforcement needs, and hinted that the compliance measures required by the new regulations are work they undertake willingly.

This move comes at a time when the U.S. is accelerating the development of a stablecoin regulatory framework, even proposing that foreign issuers must also adhere to local laws, tightening the regulatory environment for the entire stablecoin market. Against this backdrop, Tether is showing a proactive stance.

Tether's actions not only aim to seize opportunities in the future compliant market but also reflect the official recognition of stablecoins in cross-border payments and financial settlements, aiming to push the regulation of the stablecoin industry into a new phase.

Conclusion:

As USDT, once a representative of 'offshore dollar' assets, actively accepts regulation, it not only signifies that the boundaries between crypto finance and traditional financial systems are gradually blurring but also reveals that the key to future currency competition lies in the dominance of compliant stablecoins.

Whoever can control the lifeline of settlement in this digital economy will likely reshape the global financial landscape in this smoke-free war.

If USDT launches a 'U.S. exclusive version' stablecoin, will it shake its 'crypto dollar' status? After stablecoins become compliant, where does the original intention of 'decentralization' in cryptocurrencies lie?

🚨The United States has taken a tough approach to Bitcoin mining hardware, and miners are panicking!

Recently, the United States has sharply increased its supervision of Bitcoin mining hardware, which has set off a storm in the cryptocurrency field. A large number of foreign ASIC devices have been detained at customs one after another, making the future of American Bitcoin miners full of uncertainty.

At present, US regulators are increasingly scrutinizing mining hardware. From the recent border port seizures, it can be seen that law enforcement efforts may continue to escalate in the future, which will undoubtedly bring a huge impact on major manufacturers and miners.

At the request of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has now comprehensively increased the seizure of Bitcoin mining ASICs at ports of entry across the country. According to Blockspace news and CBP documents disclosed by people familiar with the matter, MicroBT and Canaan's mining equipment have not been spared and have been detained.

As the enforcement action escalates, CBP has further expanded the scope of last year's seizure of Antminer S21 and T21 miners because they use the currently restricted Sophgo AI chip.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a letter that the miners "have been seized and confiscated" under 19 USC 1595a(c)(2)(A). These include restrictions on unauthorized communications equipment, radio frequency devices that cause interference, and hardware that is not approved or compliant with the FCC.

As the scope of the seizure expands, Taras Kulyk, co-founder and CEO of Synteq Digital, said that almost all Asian ASIC manufacturers have encountered customs clearance problems. A source confirmed that hardware from multiple customers was seized at the new port outside Detroit and San Francisco, and another company is currently seeking a legal partner to fight the seizure.

Analysis points out that the U.S. crackdown on Bitcoin mining hardware may be in line with the Trump administration's policy of promoting the localization of silicon-based industries, aimed at supporting domestic miners to mine the remaining 1.042 million bitcoins. The US strictly controls the entry of foreign Bitcoin mining hardware, which also makes the survival prospects of domestic miners worrying!

💬To sum up, this incident has a great impact on the US Bitcoin mining industry. What do you think of the US seizing non-domestic ASIC equipment?See you in the comments section!
