Ministrstvo za finance priporoča "podvojitev" uveljavljanja kriptovalut, vendar tudi več navodil

The U.S. Treasury Department wants financial market regulators to aggressively pursue investigations and enforcement actions against digital asset projects that aren’t following existing laws, a recommendation that fits with the approach regulators are already taking. 

But one of the reports issued Friday, as part of a broader effort towards a unified federal approach towards digital assets, also recommends regulators provide additional rules and guidance for projects that want to comply with the law. That may lead to a slight shift in approach from financial watchdogs, trying to emphasize a carrot of more explicit guidelines to go with the stick of legal action against companies that don’t follow them. 

Ministrstvo za finance želi, da agencije "podvojijo" obstoječe predpise, je dejal visoki uradnik med četrtkovim novinarskim pogovorom, v katerem je predogledal poročila, ki so bila naročena marca predsednik Joe Biden. Višji uradniki uprave so zahtevali govor brez neposrednega pripisa kot pogoj za terenska vprašanja. 

Medtem ko poziva k večji uveljavitvi, ministrstvo za finance prav tako želi, da regulatorji zagotovijo dodatne smernice za razvijalce digitalnih sredstev in druga podjetja, ki se ukvarjajo s kriptovalutami, da bodo bolje razumeli, kako slediti obstoječim pravilom. Teoretično bi morala jasnost tudi zmanjšati potrebo po prihodnjih uveljavljanjih. To je lahko dobrodošla novica za zagovornike industrije. 

"Eno od priporočil je, da bodo regulatorji izdali nova pravila in smernice," je dejal višji uradnik finančnega ministrstva. "To je priznanje, da vidimo, da je v tem prostoru potrebno delo."

Ameriški finančni regulatorji večinoma delujejo neodvisno od Bele hiše, čeprav predsednik imenuje vodje različnih agencij, kot sta Komisija za vrednostne papirje in borzo in Komisija za trgovanje z blagovnimi terminskimi pogodbami, primarni ameriški regulatorji digitalnih sredstev. Pričakuje se, da bodo poročila imela težo pri voditeljih agencij in Capitol Hillu, medtem ko bodo razmišljali o načinih, kako bolje prilagoditi kriptovalute obstoječi finančni zakonodaji. 

“This is a new and very rapidly developing product space,” said a senior official. “Regulations need to be able to adjust to these new products and activities that are being offered.”

Though Treasury’s recommendations include an emphasis on more guidance and rulemaking from regulators, officials said the reports avoid specific legislative proposals. Multiple bills to change current laws that affect cryptocurrencies have been introduced on Capitol Hill, though none are likely to pass before the end of this Congress.

An official committed to, “working with the Hill closely, to ensure that we’re working arm-in-arm.”
