最新报道:According to Bijie.com, Democratic staff members of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee stated that their Republican colleagues' draft cryptocurrency bill creates a "superhighway" for assets seeking to circumvent regulators' authority. In a fact sheet released Monday, Democratic staff members of the Senate Banking Committee warned that the Republican draft of the industry rules falls short of their goals. "Most concerning," the fact sheet stated, "is that the bill creates a superhighway for traditional assets to evade the jurisdiction of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) simply by converting stocks and other non-cryptocurrency securities into tokens." Senator Elizabeth Warren, the committee's top Democrat, previously criticized the House bill for its language that would allow non-cryptocurrency companies to tokenize their assets to evade SEC oversight. The Digital Asset Markets Clarity Act, passed by the House in July, would create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies by specifying how the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission would regulate digital assets. The term "ancillary assets" in the Republican version of the Senate Banking Committee bill, released last month, has now drawn attention. Senate Republicans define ancillary assets as "an intangible, commercially fungible asset, including digital commodities, that is offered, sold, or otherwise distributed to persons in connection with the purchase and sale of securities through an arrangement constituting an investment contract." Senate Democratic staff members stated Monday that the term is not limited to cryptocurrencies and would allow companies to sell assets to investors without safeguards. They stated, "Even for Americans who invest in non-cryptocurrency companies, this would mean exposing their retirement accounts and investments to greater volatility while depriving existing federal and state law enforcement tools to protect and assist defrauded investors." American companies have been ramping up efforts to introduce tokenized stocks to the US. If approved by the SEC, this would allow them to offer blockchain-based trading of traditional stocks, placing them in direct competition with other more traditional financial brokerage firms. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins described tokenization as an "innovation" that could lead to more efficient markets. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce clarified last month that "tokenized securities are still securities." Senate Democratic staff members also expressed concern about President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency ventures and stated that the draft "failed to control" this. Trump and his family's involvement in cryptocurrency has been a persistent concern for many Democrats. Bloomberg estimated last month that the sitting president has profited approximately $620 million from his family's cryptocurrency ventures, including the World Liberty Financial DeFi and stablecoin project and the launch of the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins. The Trump family also holds a 20% stake in American Bitcoin, a mining company expected to go public.
