英国金融行为监管局 (FCA) 即将上任的主席 Ashley Alder 对一些加密货币公司可能“故意回避”并可能为洗钱活动提供便利表示担忧。

据英国《金融时报》报导, Alder 周三在一次虚拟会议上告诉英国财政部成员,许多加密货币平台产生了“巨大的不利风险”。

Alder 目前是香港证券及期货事务监察委员会的负责人,预计将于 2 月成为 FCA 主席。他最近的评论表明,希望在英国开展业务的加密货币公司将面临一场艰苦的战斗。

据报导,他说:“我们迄今为止对 [加密资产] 平台的经验,无论是 FTX 还是其他平台,都是故意回避,它们是洗钱大规模发生的一种方法”,并补充说“ [加密资产] 应该进一步接受监管”。

FCA 是英国的金融监管机构,负责监管金融服务产业,以保护消费者、保持产业稳定并促进金融服务供应商之间的良性竞争。

监管机构传统上对加密货币公司采取严厉的立场,拒绝了 80% 申请加入监管机构已通过之反洗钱检查的企业登记册的加密货币公司。

与此同时,英国政府正在敲定计划,赋予监管机构更广泛的监管加密货币市场的权力,包括监督加密货币公司的广告、销售实践和管理,监控公司的营运方式,限制公司从国外向英国市场销售产品等。 .

此举是在 FTX 史无前例的倒闭之后发生的,FTX 曾经是第三大加密货币交易所,在 11 月初倒闭并给零售客户带来了数十亿美元的损失。

周一,在美国检察官正式对他提出刑事指控后,该交易所创办人 Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) 被巴哈马政府逮捕。纽约南区、司法部和美国证券交易委员会已以多项刑事罪名起诉 SBF。

据报导,美国参议员 Elizabeth Warren 与堪萨斯州共和党参议员 Roger Marshall 联手推出了一项两党法案,旨在打击加密货币产业的洗钱漏洞。另外,G20 国家计划就加密货币达成政策的共识,以求更好地监管该资产类别。

Left Hand PYUSD, Right Hand Open USD: PayPal's Stablecoin Risk "Hedging"

PayPal recently released its Q2 2024 earnings, reporting revenue of $8.68 billion and a Total Payment Volume of $486.4 billion, both exceeding market expectations. However, GAAP profit margins declined year-over-year, with the company attributing an $81 million net loss partly to strategic investments and crypto assets. The report highlighted the strategic role of its PYUSD stablecoin, now positioned as a "major enabler" for the PayPal World platform and integrated into a newly formed "Payment Services & Crypto" business unit. PayPal aims to launch more merchant products powered by PYUSD and AI-driven "agentic payments," focusing on mainstream consumer and business use cases. Despite this strategic push and expansion to over 70 markets and nine blockchains, PYUSD's circulating supply has contracted significantly. After peaking around $4.2 billion in March 2024, its supply fell approximately 31% to roughly $2.7 billion by the end of Q2, indicating a gap between its broad integration narrative and actual sustained user demand post-incentives. The competitive landscape is evolving with the announcement of Open USD, a consortium-backed stablecoin project with over 140 partners including Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe. Unlike PYUSD's single-issuer model, Open USD proposes a shared revenue and governance model among its participants. Notably, PayPal itself is a signatory to the Open USD initiative, suggesting a hedging strategy where it continues developing PYUSD while securing a potential stake in an alternative industry-standard model. PayPal's challenge is to convert PYUSD's established distribution network into organic, subsidy-independent usage. If unsuccessful, its current supply level may represent a peak, especially as competition intensifies from established giants like USDC and new structural paradigms like Open USD.
