Kryptofirmaer vil ikke forlate USA til tross for tilsynelatende fiendtlighet: Merkle Science CEO

Til tross for nylige fortellinger som antyder annerledes, vil ikke USA miste lokket som et kryptoknutepunkt, ifølge administrerende direktør for blokkjedeanalysefirmaet Merkle Science.

En rekke fiendtlige regulatoriske handlinger mot kryptofirmaer i USA de siste månedene har ført til at mange øverste kryptoledere har vendt blikket andre steder.

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 litt motstridende her, men jeg tror at fem år senere vil mesteparten av aktiviteten fortsatt være i USA."

Mens Pattnaik bemerket at regioner som India, Kina og De forente arabiske emirater har "sterke forbrukermarkeder", har USA et mye høyere nivå av innovasjon og har en "dypere talentpool."

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.

Problemet er at SEC ikke klarte å skape regulatorisk klarhet her i USA, så mange amerikanske investorer (og 95 % av handelsaktiviteten) gikk offshore.

Å straffe amerikanske selskaper for dette gir ingen mening.

On April 18, Armstrong revealed that Coinbase might consider relocating its headquarters to the United Kingdom.

While Pattnaik admitted that recent government policymaking and the enforcement actions mot 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 ikke alle tilbøyelige til å 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 vil ikke sette opp hvor målstolpene beveger seg. For store bedrifter trenger du forutsigbarhet, du må planlegge og du må budsjettere."

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.

On March 20, it was revealed that 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.
