(路透社4月8日电)美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特表示,国会必须通过一项法案,为数字资产制定联邦规则,并重申他推动制定相关规则的立场,称此举将确保加密货币开发和投资继续扎根美国。

贝森特敦促通过一项名为《清晰法案》的加密货币市场结构法案。

“数字资产市场的监管框架尚不明确,”贝森特在周三发表于《华尔街日报》的一篇专栏文章中表示,并补充称这种不确定性带来了可预见的后果。

贝森特写道:“越来越多的加密货币开发业务转移到了拥有明确规则的地区,比如阿布扎比和新加坡。在海外,企业清楚何时以及如何注册、需要满足哪些标准以及如何开展运营。在美国落户的好处很少能超过风险。”

《清晰法案》旨在为数字资产制定联邦规则,这是加密货币行业多年游说的成果。加密货币公司长期以来一直认为,现有规则不适用于数字资产,立法对于企业在美国获得法律确定性并继续运营至关重要。

数月来,银行业与加密货币行业就该法案如何对待稳定币的利息及其他收益支付方式存在分歧,导致加密货币市场结构立法陷入停滞。银行业一直在推动在法案中加入禁止该做法的条款。

美国众议院于7月通过了该法案的版本。

今年2月,贝森特表示,在市场极度波动的时期,该法案将“给市场带来极大的安心”,并补充称加密货币公司曾试图阻挠该立法,但两党议员中都有人希望推动该法案获得通过。

April 8 (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Congress must pass a bill to create federal rules for digital assets, reiterating the ​push for rules that he says will ensure cryptocurrency development ‌and investment remain anchored in the U.S.

Bessent urged passage of a crypto market structure bill called the Clarity Act.

“The regulatory framework for digital asset markets is ​unclear,” Bessent said in an op-ed published in the ​Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, adding that this uncertainty had ⁠predictable consequences.

“A growing share of crypto development relocated to places ​with clear rules, such as Abu Dhabi and Singapore. Abroad, firms knew ​when and how to register, what standards to meet, and how to operate. The benefits of domiciling in the U.S. rarely outweighed the risks,” Bessent wrote.

The ​Clarity Act aims to create federal rules for digital assets, the culmination ​of years of crypto industry lobbying. Crypto companies have long argued that existing ‌rules ⁠are inadequate for digital assets, and that legislation is essential for companies to continue to operate with legal certainty in the U.S.

Crypto market structure legislation has been held up by a clash for months ​between the banking and ​cryptocurrency industry over ⁠how the bill treats interest and other rewards paid on stablecoins. Banks have been pushing for ​language in the bill prohibiting the practice.

The House of ​Representatives passed ⁠its version of the bill in July.

In February, Bessent said the bill would give “great comfort to the market” at a time of great volatility, ⁠adding ​that cryptocurrency firms have tried to block ​the legislation, but that there is a bipartisan group of lawmakers who want to ​get it passed.
