The United States is accelerating the construction of a cryptocurrency regulatory system, with legislative games at both federal and state levels reshaping the industry landscape. The House of Representatives passed the Financial Innovation and Technology Act of the 21st Century (FIT21), which clarifies the division of responsibilities between the SEC and CFTC: the SEC regulates securities-like tokens, while the CFTC governs digital commodities like Bitcoin, and innovatively defines the standard for 'decentralization' (where a single entity holds ≤20% of shares). Legislation on stablecoins has faced ups and downs; the Senate's GENIUS Act was rejected with a vote of 48:49 due to demands from the ** party to prohibit officials from participating in cryptocurrency businesses, but the market expects negotiations may resume before August. State-level policies are showing divergence: New Hampshire has signed HB 302, allowing the state treasury to allocate up to 5% of public funds (approximately $181 million) to invest in Bitcoin, setting a precedent for local government reserves; states like North Carolina and Texas are following suit, while others like Florida have rejected similar proposals due to risk concerns. Regulatory agencies are shifting towards rule-making: the SEC Chairman announced the end of the 'enforcement regulation' model and promised to clarify exemption clauses through rules; the CFTC is strengthening its regulatory authority over digital commodities and DeFi through FIT21. The industry's response is polarized: companies like Coinbase support the legislation, and 34 institutions have jointly called for clarification of the definition of 'money transmitter' to avoid excessive regulation. In the future, the FIT21 Act is expected to pass in the Senate, and the regulatory framework for stablecoins may become the next focal point. The United States needs to balance innovation incentives and risk prevention while consolidating its global leadership position through international cooperation (such as the joint US-UK push for cryptocurrency standards). This regulatory revolution is reshaping the valuation logic and power landscape of digital assets.
#美国加征关税 Family, big news! The United States is stirring things up again by imposing tariffs on Chinese imports. This time it involves a whole bunch of items including electric vehicle batteries, computer chips, medical products, and more. Biden spoke at the White House with great righteousness, saying things like 'we need to ensure fair competition and not let Chinese goods flood the American market.' But to put it bluntly, isn’t it just because they are anxious about our rapid development? The Chinese Ministry of Commerce is also not being vague and immediately stated that it will take measures to defend its own interests; this counterattack will definitely not be absent. In this round of tariff increases, Biden retained the tariffs set by Trump earlier and also significantly raised tariffs on certain goods, with electric vehicle tariffs increasing fourfold and semiconductor tariffs doubling. The value of affected Chinese imports reaches up to $18 billion, covering areas like steel, aluminum, semiconductors, and electric vehicles. Although the number of Chinese electric vehicles imported into the U.S. is not large, this move carries more political significance than actual impact, clearly aimed at showing voters and trying to garner votes. Looking at Trump, he has been shouting about imposing a 60% or even higher tariff on all Chinese goods, and he even said that Biden's tariff increase is not enough and should be expanded to other types of vehicles and products. These two are taking turns on tariff issues, while it’s the enterprises and consumers in both China and the U.S. who suffer. American consumers will surely have to pay more for Chinese goods, while Chinese export companies will likely see a decline in orders, truly a 'killing a thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of our own.' This move by the U.S. is merely an attempt to suppress China's development through trade measures and maintain its economic hegemony. But China is not to be underestimated; in recent years our economic structure has been continuously optimized, and our dependence on U.S. exports has decreased, while actively expanding new markets like the 'Belt and Road Initiative.' While U.S. tariff increases may have an impact on some industries in the short term, in the long run, it may force Chinese companies to accelerate technological innovation and industrial upgrading. Let’s wait and see how this trade game develops; we believe that China has the ability to cope!
This roundtable meeting marks a new phase in the United States' cryptocurrency regulation, transitioning towards clearer rules and predictable compliance. In the short term, the SEC's policy shift may attract more institutional funds into the crypto market (as giants like BlackRock accelerate their positioning in ETFs and staking products), and promote the construction of tokenized financial infrastructure. In the long term, the clarity of the regulatory framework will facilitate global coordination in crypto governance (such as mutual recognition of MiCA and SEC rules), but issues like the stalemate in stablecoin legislation and unclear compliance paths for DeFi still need to be further addressed. Industry participants should pay close attention to the following developments: 1. SEC Rulemaking Timeline: Within the next 3-6 months, the SEC may release guidelines for the issuance of security tokens, custody safety standards, and registration rules for DeFi platforms. 2. Federalization Process of Stablecoin Regulation: If the GENIUS Act resumes negotiations, its reserve requirements and information disclosure standards will directly impact the operational models of leading stablecoins like USDT and USDC. 3. Token Attribute Re-evaluation Results: The SEC's classification of mainstream public chain assets (such as whether XRP and SOL are excluded from being classified as securities) will determine their market liquidity and compliance costs. In summary, this roundtable meeting provides a key pathway for the crypto industry to transition from 'wild growth' to regulated development, but the release of regulatory dividends still relies on legislative progress and deep integration of technological compliance.

In 2023, the United States made significant strides in stablecoin regulation. On March 13, local time, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee passed the 'Guidance and Establishment of the American Stablecoin National Innovation Act' (the 'GENIUS Act') with a vote of 18 to 6, marking an important step towards legal enactment. This act will regulate stablecoin issuers at the federal level in the United States. The legislation focuses on payment stablecoins, aiming to create a clear regulatory framework that ensures transparency, accountability, and consumer rights, while promoting their standardized application in the digital economy. The act clearly defines payment stablecoins, which must be denominated in national currency, with issuers committing to redeem at a fixed amount, and not classified as national currency or securities of investment companies. Issuer eligibility is strictly limited to approved insured deposit institution subsidiaries and federally or state-certified non-bank payment stablecoin issuers. Issuers must hold 100% reserve assets, which include U.S. dollars in cash, deposits at Federal Reserve Banks, and short-term U.S. Treasury securities. Monthly reserve composition reports must be published and audited by an independent accounting firm, with written certification from the CEO and CFO. In terms of custody, only federally or state-regulated financial institutions may provide services, with client assets prioritized and prohibited from being included in the issuer's balance sheet. Regulatory violations will face penalties including disqualification, cease and desist orders, civil fines, and even criminal penalties.
#加密市场回调 Family, listen up! On May 8th at 2 AM, the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision is definitely the top priority in the cryptocurrency world right now! In my opinion, there are only two possible outcomes: The first scenario is that if the Federal Reserve does not cut interest rates in May, many in the market have actually been prepared for this. If they really don't cut rates, Bitcoin is likely to experience a pullback, and the coins we hold might shrink in value. The second scenario is that if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates directly in May, then Bitcoin will likely take off like a rocket! Just thinking about that scene is thrilling. The institutions in the market are acting like they’ve gone crazy, frantically buying Bitcoin. I’m telling you, once the price of Bitcoin crosses the $100,000 threshold, that $3 billion of 'southbound funds' (money flowing out of our country to speculate on cryptocurrencies) will probably be instantly swallowed up by the market. To those speculators, this $3 billion is just a juicy piece of meat, and they are practically drooling over it. The recent market performance has been particularly obvious. Bitcoin can reach a new high every day, but just a few days later, that high becomes a low. The candlestick chart shows a slow but steady upward trend, but those shorting Bitcoin (the ones betting against Bitcoin to make a profit) are suffering greatly, getting trapped deeper and deeper, and can’t escape. I suspect that those speculators will not easily crash the market to release the short-sellers; they are hoping that the short-sellers get more entrenched so that they can profit immensely!
