美联储主席表示,他支持在加密资产领域进行负责任的创新。

美联储主席表示,他支持在加密资产领域进行负责任的创新。

美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔(Jerome Powell)周二在法国银行(Banque of France)主办的数字金融小组讨论会上谈到了分权金融的监管问题。

美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔详细阐述了他对加密行业各个部门的看法,包括稳定货币、中央银行数字货币(CBDC)和分散金融(DeFi)。

鲍威尔表示,DeFi存在“重大的结构性问题”,可以通过适当的法规加以解决。

“在DeFi生态系统中,围绕缺乏透明度存在着这些非常重要的结构性问题。

我认为,好消息是,从金融稳定的角度来看,DeFi生态系统与传统银行系统和传统金融系统之间的互动目前没有那么大。因此,我们见证了DeFi的冬天,这对银行系统和更广泛的金融稳定没有重大影响,这是一件好事。

“这是件好事,”他喊道。“我认为,这表明了监管方面的弱点和需要认真考虑的工作,并给了我们一点时间。”

然而,美联储主席警告说,他刚才描述的情况“不会无限期地持续下去”。他澄清说,“最终这不是一个稳定的平衡,我们需要非常小心……加密活动是如何在监管范围内进行的”,详细阐述了:

无论如何……确实需要更适当的监管,以便随着defi的扩大并开始接触越来越多的零售客户,适当的监管到位。

鲍威尔接着说,美联储有一段与私营部门合作的历史,以促进“负责任的创新”,为消费者带来更高的效率和更低的成本。

“我们确实支持负责任的创新,包括加密相关的服务或产品。我回想起支票在许多方面过时的时代,我们正处于推动这一转变的过程中。美联储距离推出FedNow还有大约一年的时间,FedNow是一个即时支付系统,将通过其银行向公众提供实时支付s

当然,监管的全部目的是创造一个公平的竞争环境,使我们能够从真正的创新中获益,同时避免规避监管的陷阱。”

鲍威尔随后展望了稳定货币,他表示,随着稳定货币发行人专注于将与美元挂钩的加密资产纳入主流,需要建立适当的监管结构。

“特别是在stablecoin上,现在stablecoins的大部分使用都是在加密平台上。实际上,stablecoins是一种类似货币的资产,用于在DeFi平台上结算交易。但许多stablecoint发行人都在谈论它,为了更广泛地接触公众,包括零售付费,潜在的stablecoin.发行人在各地都有很大的兴趣nts。

从监管角度来看,这确实是我们的主要关注点。stablecoin应该这样使用吗?更广泛,更面向公众,远离加密平台?适当的监管结构是什么?

欧洲央行行长克里斯汀·拉加德(Christine Lagarde)和国际清算银行(BIS)总经理阿古斯汀·卡斯滕斯(Agustín Carstens)也参加了讨论。两人都同意鲍威尔的观点,并同样强调了适当调节defi生态系统的重要性。

鲍威尔接着说,美联储尚未决定是否发行CDBC,并指出,这需要国会和总统的批准。

“我们有动机非常仔细地研究在美国发行中央银行数字货币的成本和收益…

我们正在非常仔细地研究它,我们正在评估政策问题和技术问题,我们正在以非常广泛的范围进行评估。我们还没有决定继续,我们也没有看到自己在一段时间内做出这样的决定。”

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.

The Full Story Behind Encryption Unicorn Blockstream's Deep Entanglement in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details allegations of serious fraud surrounding the crypto company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. Investigation account NatInfoSec accuses Blockstream of raising billions through its Blockstream Mining Note (BMN) products, which offer high fixed yields of up to 20% from purported mining revenue. The core allegations are: 1) Blockstream's public mining hash rate (15 EH/s) appears insufficient to cover the massive payout obligations from sold BMN notes, raising questions about the true source of investor payouts. 2) Key executive Christopher William Cook, central to the mining operations, has a prior federal conviction for mail fraud, a fact not disclosed to investors. Cook's background and lavish lifestyle are highlighted as red flags. 3) The structure allows payouts from any source of BTC, not necessarily mining revenue, which critics argue gives it Ponzi-like characteristics. The controversy also touches on Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a related entity planning a SPAC上市. Critics question whether BMN's liabilities and Cook's record should be disclosed in BSTR's filings. BitMEX Research offered a tempered analysis, confirming Cook's criminal record is likely true and the high yields concerning, but found other claims like insufficient抵押证据 less substantiated. Community debate centers on the need for verifiable proof of Blockstream's mining output and revenue. The article concludes that while fraud is not proven, BMN presents significant, unresolved questions regarding its actual scale, the source of its high fixed returns, the verifiability of its mining operations and payouts, and the full disclosure of associated risks and personnel backgrounds. Blockstream has not yet issued a formal response.
