美參議員達成兩黨協議 加強打擊加密貨幣相關罪行

CoinDesk報道,美國國會就加密貨幣監管立法出現久違突破。參議院司法委員會主席Chuck Grassley與參議員Cynthia Lummis達成兩黨協議,擬在被稱為具里程碑意義、針對加密貨幣市場結構的《Clarity Act》(文中亦稱CLEAR Act)中,強化執法條款,同時在保護技術創新與回應執法部門關切之間取得平衡。 白宮官員Patrick Witt就國會山談判進展表示:"These trades will continue until the situation becomes clearer." 熟悉談判的人士稱,新協議將賦權檢控機關,對"crypto participants with clear culpability"提出反洗錢(AML)指控。Lummis指出,協議為軟件開發者提供重要保障,並點名提及BRCA及《第1960條》(Section 1960)的安全港安排,同時賦予相關機構打擊不法分子的所需權力。她表示:"Thank you, Chuck Grassley, for ensuring the CLEAR Act includes BRCA/Section 1960 protections for software developers while still providing law enforcement with the tools they need,"並稱"The CLEAR Act is the most law enforcementfriendly digital assets bill Congress has considered to date. Let's work together to get it passed!" 立法進程亦見加速。參議院銀行委員會上周五宣布,計劃於本周四審議並表決該法案;一旦委員會通過,將提交全院審議。市場對今年通過全面的比特幣及加密貨幣市場結構法案的預期升溫。在受監管的預測市場Kalshi上,相關法案今年通過的機率已飆升至75%以上。 與此同時,美國銀行家協會(ABA)在表決前夕發動最後一輪游說,尋求延後表決或大幅修改法案內容。ABA主席兼行政總裁Rob Nichols呼籲立即修訂法案中有關穩定幣的措辭。他承認現行版本有所改善,但警告仍"is not sufficient to prevent cryptocurrency companies from offering interestlike rewards on stablecoin payments." Nichols寫道:"We believe that, without further modifications, the current proposal would unnecessarily stimulate bank deposits to flow into payment stablecoins, thereby endangering economic growth and financial stability."
