Resumen

4月19日,美国众议院金融服务委员会举行了一场关于稳定币的听证会,会上美国两党议员各自发表了意见,一致认为稳定币立法非常必要。本文带你速览此次听证会亮点。

周三(4月19日),美国国会下的一个重要委员会(众议院金融服务委员会)举行了一场听证会,讨论稳定币在全球经济中发挥的重要作用,以及是否全面立法以释放稳定币的全部价值。

“”

听证会的主题是“了解稳定币在支付中的作用和立法的必要性”,由众议院金融服务委员会的数字资产、金融技术和包容性小组主持。Circle首席战略官兼全球政策负责人Dante Disparte是出席听证会的领导人之一。

“”

众议院金融服务委员会主席Patrick McHenry(北卡罗来纳州共和党人)表示,他将以两党合作的方式通过稳定币法案。“不采取行动不符合消费者利益。我们需要一套针对稳定币的联邦监管制度,这对我们在国际和国内都很重要,而且在两党的基础上理解这项法案的效用和重要性也非常重要。”

“”

众议院金融服务委员会高级成员Maxine Waters(加州民主党人)表示,她理解“迅速”通过稳定币法案的重要性。“我同意大多数小组成员的意见,即我们应该迅速采取行动,制定一项稳定币法案,并推动立法。”

“”

数字资产、金融技术和包容性小组委员会主席、国会议员French Hill(阿肯色州共和党人)表示,人们“一致”认为需要一个全面的稳定币法案框架。“我想感谢我们的证人今天成为一个出色的小组。我认为这次对话对于明确稳定币立法的方向非常有帮助。我当然听到了专家组的一致意见,即国会的监管框架将有利于美国经济、美国发明家和消费者。”

“”

Circle首席战略官兼全球政策负责人Dante Disparte谈到联合国难民署如何利用支付稳定币和区块链来帮助难民。

“”

“一个最有力的例子是最近的一个,那就是我们与联合国难民事务高级专员办事处 (UNHCR) 的合作伙伴关系。Circle与Stellar和Moneygram(注:速汇金,是一种个人间的环球快速汇款业务,可以在15分钟内完成由汇款人到收款人的汇款过程)一起,帮助设计了一项针对乌克兰难民的数字现金援助计划。该计划的运作方式是其他任何支付系统无法替代的,您想一想,我们国家今天运送对外援助或灾难援助的方式是实物现金,这是容易滋生腐败、贿赂或欺诈的蜜罐。以设备为中心的货币具有抗腐败、近乎即时和可审计的特性,这是一个非常强大的功能,在这种情况下,以美元计价的稳定币USDC是支持这种创新的有效载体。”

“”

Disparte在听证会上指出:

“”

“迄今为止,几乎所有其他支付创新都只是在借贷和结算速度方面略有改进,与之相比,USDC等稳定币是一种以美元计价的电子现金传输形式。随着时间的推移,互联网规模、近乎即时的美元结算,将接近世界上最大支付系统的每秒交易量。这是一项关键的创新,可以同步提升美国的经济竞争力和国家安全利益。在如何以数字形式向任何联网设备发送、消费、储蓄和保护资金的方式上,有望成为一项重要突破。随着时间的推移,只要国家监管框架落实到位,一种数字美元的新形式就会出现,它将具有法律明确性、互联网规模的传输性、基本保护(包括即使发行人破产时也享有同等赎回权、隐私)、法治和其他关键特征。实现这一目标的唯一途径是国会制定全面的稳定币法案。”

Critical Moments in Bitcoin: Cost Zones That Demand Attention Have Been Identified!

Analytics firm Glassnode reported that reduced expectations for U.S. interest rate cuts, along with pricing in possible rate hikes, have suppressed risk appetite in the cryptocurrency market. The Fed's interest rate decisions are crucial for market direction. U.S. Treasury yields have surpassed returns from crypto carry trades, leading investors to favor cash and low-risk interest-bearing instruments over crypto assets. A strong U.S. dollar further weakens marginal demand for crypto. Bitcoin is currently trading below its most intensive cost basis level, with approximately $69,000 identified as the breakeven zone and significant resistance for short-term investors. For a stronger recovery, Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $69,000 threshold with increased trading volume. Renewed active demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs is also deemed critical. According to Glassnode, the current Bitcoin decline represents the shallowest bear market in terms of price drawdown depth to date. However, based on previous cycle durations, this downturn may not be over yet. Spot trading volumes have fallen to multi-year lows, and sell-side order books have thinned, though many buy orders are placed significantly below current prices. Glassnode's risk indicator, Vector, signaled "risk off," suggesting a capital preservation mindset. The current market structure is being driven more by macroeconomic factors like monetary policy, bond yields, and dollar strength than by crypto-sector developments. Losing Bitcoin's support range of $62,000-$68,000, coupled with renewed exchange inflows, could negate the recovery scenario. Conversely, more favorable monetary policy, increased trading volume, a Bitcoin recovery above $69,000, and a resumption of spot ETF buying could signal a market turnaround.

Breaking News: Full Detailed Rationale and Explanation of the Fed's Interest Rate Decision Released!

As expected, the Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate unchanged at 3.50-3.75 percent, marking the fifth consecutive meeting without a rate change. The Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) decision passed with a 9-3 majority vote. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan dissented, voting in favor of a 25 basis point rate hike. This was the first meeting since 2016 where three regional Fed presidents voted against holding rates steady, signaling growing influence among members advocating for tighter monetary policy to combat inflation. The Fed's statement noted that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace despite high uncertainty, partly due to Middle East conflicts. It highlighted that growth in productivity and investment remained strong, employment gains have aligned with labor force growth, and the unemployment rate has remained relatively stable. The Fed also committed to maintaining ample reserves in the banking system. The statement emphasized that inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target. It noted that supply shocks, including in the energy sector, are adding to inflationary pressures. The Committee stated it will continue to closely monitor incoming data and risks in pursuit of its price stability goal. The dissenting members argued that the target range for the federal funds rate should have been increased by 25 basis points.

The Fed's Interest Rate Decision is Inevitable! Former Senior Fed Advisor Reveals His Forecast for Today!

Former Federal Reserve senior advisor John Faust stated he does not expect the Fed to raise interest rates at the FOMC meeting concluding today. He argued the Fed will not try to win credibility by deliberately surprising markets. In his assessment, Faust noted that Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh has used strong rhetoric on restoring price stability but largely failed to share details on how he plans to achieve it. This information gap has led to various market scenarios. However, Faust believes the reality is simpler: Warsh positions himself as a pragmatic, tough-minded policymaker, placing high importance on monetary policy communication while showing flexibility regarding balance sheet reduction. Faust compared Warsh's approach to the "refined intuitive approach" used by former Chairman Alan Greenspan. Faust stated that, unlike strict policy rules, this approach does not yield clear-cut answers on rate decisions. In current conditions, both a 25-basis-point hike and waiting for the next meeting could be reasonably justified. Aligning with market expectations, Faust predicts the Fed will choose to wait today. He believes the benefit of waiting outweighs the negatives, partly because he agrees that deliberately surprising markets to boost credibility is not a valid factor. Faust also argued there is no substantial macroeconomic difference between hiking today and holding steady, as a 25-basis-point move over eight weeks alone is not economically decisive. He emphasized that the important aspect will not be the decision itself, but how it is explained to markets. Warsh has so far advocated forward-looking policy without clear guidance on economic forecasts or the likely rate path. Faust warned that if the Fed does not explicitly state grounds for a hike and opts to wait for more data, markets may misinterpret the decision's meaning. Regardless of today's outcome, how Warsh explains the policy decisions at the meeting and press conference may be the most critical information for investors.
