Kryptofirmaer vil ikke forlade USA på trods af tilsyneladende fjendtlighed: Merkle Science CEO

Crypto firms won’t leave US despite apparent hostility: Merkle Science CEO PlatoBlockchain Data Intelligence. Vertical Search. Ai.

På trods af de seneste fortællinger, der antyder anderledes, vil USA ikke miste sin tiltrækning som et krypto-hub, ifølge CEO for blockchain-analysefirmaet Merkle Science.

En række fjendtlige reguleringshandlinger, der er blevet udrettet mod kryptofirmaer i USA i de seneste måneder, har fået mange topledere til at vende blikket andre steder hen.

Despite this, Mriganka Pattnaik, the co-founder and CEO of Merkle Science, believes that crypto activity will remain in the country, at least in the medium term.

"Min mening er lidt modstridende her, men jeg tror, ​​at fem år senere vil størstedelen af ​​aktiviteten stadig være i USA."

Mens Pattnaik bemærkede, at regioner som Indien, Kina og De Forenede Arabiske Emirater har "stærke forbrugermarkeder", råder USA over et meget højere niveau af innovation og har en "dybere talentpulje."

Pattnaik also pointed to the “general market dynamics” of the American economy — specifically the clarity around taxation — as the key reasons why crypto firms will likely choose to maintain the bulk of their operations in the United States.

Recent moves by U.S. regulators — namely the Securities and Exchange Commission against crypto firms — have created a narrative of “innovation” going offshore. In the wake of the FTX collapse, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong blamed unclear regulations for driving “95% of trading activity” away from U.S. soil.

On April 18, Armstrong revealed that Coinbase might consider relocating dets hovedkvarter til Det Forenede Kongerige.

While Pattnaik admitted that recent government policymaking and the enforcement actions mod Coinbase og Binance are undeniably harsh, all of this has been an “overreaction to everything that happened with FTX.”

“Over time, things will become moderated, and there’ll be a lot more clarity in the U.S.,” he added.

Ikke overraskende er det ikke alle, der er tilbøjelige til at være enige med Pattnaik.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Binance Dubai general manager Alex Chehade said that all large crypto firms — particularly those in the U.S. — desperately need clear and consistent regulation.

“Du ønsker ikke at sætte op, hvor målstængerne bevæger sig. For store virksomheder har du brug for forudsigelighed, du skal planlægge, og du skal budgettere.”

Earlier in the year, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse claimed that the crypto industry had “already started moving outside” of the U.S., given that its approach to regulation had fallen behind other crypto-friendly regions like Singapore, the UAE and Switzerland.

Den 20. marts blev det afsløret, at more than 80 firms from around the world applied for a crypto services license in Hong Kong amid renewed efforts from the region to become a leading Web3 hub. 

Months later, on June 1, Winklevoss-owned crypto exchange Gemini announced it would pursue a crypto services license in the United Arab Emirates. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss cited “hostility and a lack of clarity” on crypto regulation in the U.S. as the reason for the move.
