Ameriška senatorka Elizabeth Warren: Crypto obljube se še niso uresničile

Senator Warren se je pred kratkim vdrl v kriptovalute in dejal, da niso izpolnili obljube in naredijo več škode kot koristi.

United States Senator Elizabeth Warren, in a senate hearing on June 9, offered some stern remarks on the cryptocurrency market. Speaking in a senate hearing on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), the Massachusetts senator said that cryptocurrencies “have turned out to be a fourth-rate alternative to real currency.”

Not one to mince words, Senator Warren also said that the promise of cryptocurrencies to overcome the wrongdoings of large banks has also failed. She refers to the volatilnosti of the market, saying that it resulted in making crypto assets “a lousy way to buy things.” She singles out Dogecoin, one of the most high-profile assets to fluctuate heavily,

»V zadnjih dveh mesecih se je vrednost Doge kovancev povečala več kot desetkrat ... nato pa se je zmanjšala za skoraj 60%. To bi lahko delovalo za špekulante in vlagatelje ponoči, ne pa tudi za običajne ljudi, ki iščejo stabilen vir vrednosti, da bi dobili plačilo in ga uporabili za vsakodnevno porabo. "

Warren also says that cryptocurrencies are a “lousy investment” because they afford little zaščita vlagateljev, something which is now a hot topic among regulators. She also cites the funding of illegal activity as another major criticism of cryptocurrencies. The last point comes as the U.S. Colonial Pipeline infrastructure was hacked by the DarkSide group, which asked for a odkupnina v bitcoinih.

Nato nadaljuje, da so CBDC legitimni in bi lahko premagali pomanjkljivosti obstoječega sistema. To stališče zavzemajo tudi druge vlade, čeprav same dopuščajo prostor za kriptovalute.

Izjava prav tako opozarja na vse pogostejšo razpravo o ustanovitvi CBDC, o čemer so ZDA do zdaj bile relativno mirne. Jasno je, da bo verjetno prinesel digitalno različico dolarja, vendar se zdi, da so pogovori v zgodnji fazi.

ZDA bodo zatirale kripto?

Nedavne Blog Objave dogodki in the U.S. give the impression that authorities are lining up regulations — and it may not be very good for the market. Multiple officials in various governmental bodies have issued statements on crypto. This includes Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, and OCC Acting Comptroller Michael J. Hsu.

Ti uradniki so se ustavili pred popolnim razkritjem kriptovalut, vendar obstaja podtol neodobravanja, ki bi lahko škodoval trgu. V idealnem primeru bi uveljavili predpise, ki bi omogočali nadaljevanje inovacij. Toda nič ne kaže, na katero stran se bodo postavili, ko bo zakon sprejet.

The Biden administration has proposed that there be mednarodno sodelovanje to ensure that traders do not avoid paying taxes. Furthermore, it’s likely that he will bring up the subject of cryptocurrencies with respect to cybersecurity attacks at the upcoming G7 summit.
