Nic: 我访问了华盛顿特区,会见了国会成员和工作人员,讨论了稳定币和加密货币。总体而言,我发现两党对加密货币持积极态度,尤其是在稳定币方面。虽然战略比特币储备没有明确列入议程,但稳定币法案正在制定中,市场结构法案有望紧随其后。然而,由于共和党在众议院和参议院的微弱多数,在休会期间通过任何加密货币立法,包括具有争议性的比特币储备法案,似乎不太可能。美联储在稳定币监管方面拥有很大的权力,这可能会导致更多金融服务公司受到“大到不能倒”的监管。 我预计,在下一届国会中,共和党人会采取更强硬的立场,但法案仍然需要两党合作才能通过。因此,我认为在未来一年内不太可能出现任何加密货币立法。 Matt: 18个州的总检察长正在起诉美国证券交易委员会(SEC),指控其对加密货币行业的过度监管和不公平迫害。同时,Gary Gensler暗示将退休。FTX正在起诉Binance和CZ,声称Binance对FTX的收购是具有欺诈性的。Sam Bankman-Fried同意放弃7000万美元的资产。Polymarket的创始人Shayne Coplan的家被FBI突袭。Coinbase推出了Coinbase 50指数。Doodles与麦当劳合作推出节日主题的艺术品、杯子和其他数字体验。拜登政府对初创企业的政策对初创企业造成了负面影响,导致许多公司面临银行账户被冻结的问题。“扼杀点行动”即将结束,并可能会有对过去事件的调查。关于SEC主席人选的传闻不多,Jan Carlo已退出竞争。
