Дядя Сэм и криптовалюты: США переопределяют понятие денег

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2022-05-19Last updated on 2024-08-19

В коридорах власти США зреет очередной юридический кульбит. Казначейство и Федеральная резервная система решили устроить революцию в мире финансов, переопределив само понятие «деньги». И кого же они решили пригласить на этот бал? Правильно, нашего любимого enfant terrible — криптовалюты!

16 августа Министерство финансов США выпустило полугодовую регуляторную повестку, и, о чудо, там нашлось место для цифровых активов. Похоже, дядюшка Сэм решил, что пора и криптовалютам примерить костюмчик традиционных финансов.

  • Совет управляющих ФРС и Сеть по борьбе с финансовыми преступлениями (FinCEN) планируют пересмотреть определение «денег» в рамках Закона о банковской тайне.
  • Цель? Уравнять криптовалюты и фиатные деньги в правах и обязанностях. Особенно когда дело касается отчетности о транзакциях.
  • В фокусе внимания — как внутренние, так и трансграничные операции с конвертируемой виртуальной валютой.

Но не спешите радоваться, господа криптоэнтузиасты! Это не признание, а попытка накинуть узду на непокорного жеребца цифровой экономики.

Согласно повестке, новые правила будут применяться к «конвертируемой виртуальной валюте, которая является средством обмена (например, криптовалюта), имеющим эквивалентную стоимость в валюте или выступающим в качестве замены валюты, но не имеющим статуса законного платежного средства».

И тут самое интересное — под раздачу попадут даже цифровые активы со статусом законного платежного средства, включая CBDC. Да-да, центробанки, вы тоже в игре!

Окончательный проект новых правил планируют представить в сентябре 2025 года. Но это не значит, что их сразу примут — сначала документ выставят на общественное обсуждение.

А пока криптомир ждет решения Минфина, Минюст США тоже не дремлет. 7 августа они попросили Комиссию по вынесению приговоров США обновить свои рекомендации, чтобы ужесточить наказание за преступления, совершенные с помощью искусственного интеллекта. И не только ИИ — даже простые алгоритмы попали под раздачу. Видимо, в юристы насмотрелись «Терминатора» и решили перестраховаться.

Ethlabs Founded, Treasury Companies to Fund Ethereum Post-EF

Former Ethereum Foundation (EF) core researchers Ansgar Dietrichs, Barnabé Monnot, Caspar Schwarz-Schilling, Josh Rudolf, and Julian Ma announced the launch of Ethlabs, an independent non-profit R&D lab focused on Ethereum core protocol research and institutional-grade infrastructure. The initiative, backed by over 50 community participants including ETH treasury companies BitMine and Sharplink, Joseph Lubin, Hayden Adams, and Jesse Pollak, aims to make Ethereum the global economic settlement layer. This move comes amidst significant pressure on the EF, which has seen key departures and a strategic narrowing of its focus. A critical funding gap of approximately $30 million annually for core client development, following the expiration of the client incentive program, poses a near-term risk to the network's development. The context includes the evolution of ETH's value narrative. While mechanisms like EIP-1559 and the Merge previously supported the "ultrasound money" thesis, the success of L2 scaling via EIP-4844 has drastically reduced L1 fee revenue, leading to net ETH issuance and challenging that narrative. Ethlabs has listed ETH monetary economics as a primary research focus. Backing from corporate ETH treasuries like BitMine and Sharplink represents a strategic alignment, as these entities' asset values are directly tied to Ethereum's health and adoption. Their support is an investment rather than a pure donation. Ethereum's governance is shifting from a centralized EF model to a distributed network of specialized "manager nodes," including Ethlabs and a streamlined EF. While this promotes efficiency and reduces single-point failure risk, it introduces new challenges in coordination, priority alignment, and filling critical funding gaps across the decentralized ecosystem.

From Logo to Bo Niu: TRON Further Perfects Its Brand Visual Assets

On June 23rd, TRON completed a significant upgrade to its official mascot, Bo Niu. The revamped character features larger, brighter eyes, more expressive facial details, and a clearer "T" structural motif, while retaining its signature red-and-white color scheme and horned design. This refresh aims to enhance Bo Niu's approachability, emotional range, and versatility for use across social media, community interactions, offline events, and branded merchandise. The redesign focuses on creating a stronger first impression. A more open facial structure with distinct, expressive eyes and the addition of a mouth with a small fang make the character friendlier and more suitable for dynamic content like animations and emojis. Subtle brand elements are integrated, such as stylized cheek lines inspired by "signal" icons, referencing the "wave" in "TRON," and a "T" shape formed by its smile and chest markings. Bo Niu has also been given a more defined personality as "TRON's Chief Luck Officer," with traits like being playful and sweet. This persona provides a more accessible and emotionally resonant entry point to the TRON brand, contrasting with often technical Web3 narratives. This mascot upgrade is part of TRON's ongoing effort to build a comprehensive and extensible visual identity system, following its recent logo refresh. Bo Niu is positioned as a key asset to connect with users, foster community, and convey brand warmth in everyday contexts.

Now titled "TRON's Chief Luck Officer," it carries playful personality tags like "foodie enthusiast" and "full-of-tricks," allowing it to engage with the community in a more approachable and relatable manner.
