$SUI Reshaping Rules and Industry Transformation!
The three pieces of legislation passed during the U.S. 'Cryptocurrency Week' mark the substantial establishment of a cryptocurrency regulatory framework, opening a new era of global cryptocurrency legislation, profoundly impacting the direction of the industry.
'Guidance and Establishment of the National Innovation Act for U.S. Stablecoins'
('Genius Act'), requires stablecoin issuers to obtain federal or state-level licenses and to hold U.S. dollar cash, bank deposits, or short-term U.S. Treasury securities in a 1:1 ratio as reserves, enhancing the safety of funds, integrating digital assets into the U.S. sovereign credit system, consolidating the dollar's hegemony in the digital age, creating demand for U.S. debt, and helping to resolve the debt crisis.
'Digital Asset Market Clarity Act' ('Clarity Act'), clarifies the commodity nature of cryptocurrencies, delineates the regulatory responsibilities between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), weakens SEC's regulatory power, and provides clear rules for the cryptocurrency market.
'Anti-Central Bank Digital Currency Monitoring National Act' ('Anti-CBDC Act'), prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing retail central bank digital currency without authorization, protects citizens' privacy and financial freedom, and builds a 'protective wall' for cryptocurrencies.
The passage of these three bills enhances the legitimacy of the crypto market, boosts investor confidence, drives prices up, and leads to a collective surge in cryptocurrencies. It also prompts changes in the competitive landscape of the industry, where compliance costs may eliminate smaller issuers, allowing giants to potentially dominate the market. A global wave of regulation resonates, with countries accelerating the improvement of regulatory frameworks, the industry moving towards a golden period of compliance, and the potential to attract more traditional capital into the market, promoting the integration of cryptocurrencies into the mainstream financial system.
