如果美國監管收緊，Coinbase 可能會下架 Tether (USDT) 穩定幣：《華爾街日報》

CCoinbase 表示願意將 Tether 的穩定幣從其平台上移除，具體取決於唐納德·川普總統領導下的美國監管環境的演變。

Major United States crypto exchange Coinbase might have to remove Tether’s (USDT) stablecoin from its platform if new U.S. laws are introduced, according to CEO Brian Armstrong.

執行長 Brian Armstrong 表示，如果美國推出新法律，美國主要加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 可能不得不從其平台上刪除 Tether (USDT) 穩定幣。

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Armstrong said that Coinbase could potentially have to delist the $138 billion stablecoin if new U.S. legislation required it. The CEO anticipates that potential stablecoin regulations would require holding all asset reserves in Treasury bonds and conducting regular audits to ensure customer protection.

阿姆斯壯在接受《華爾街日報》採訪時表示，如果美國新立法要求，Coinbase 可能不得不下架價值 1,380 億美元的穩定幣。執行長預計，潛在的穩定幣監管將要求將所有資產儲備存放在國債中，並進行定期審計以確保客戶保護。

Armstrong’s comments come amid increasing scrutiny of stablecoins by U.S. regulators. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has already taken enforcement actions against several crypto firms for allegedly failing to register their stablecoins with the agency.

阿姆斯壯發表此番言論之際，美國監管機構對穩定幣的審查日益嚴格。美國證券交易委員會（SEC）已對多家加密貨幣公司採取執法行動，因為它們涉嫌未能在該機構註冊其穩定幣。

Coinbase already delisted Tether from its European platform due to the stablecoin’s noncompliance with the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework.

由於 Tether 不符合歐盟加密資產市場 (MiCA) 框架，Coinbase 已將 Tether 從其歐洲平台下架。

Tether’s token is the leading crypto stablecoin, followed by competitors such as Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) and Ripple’s RLUSD, which recently entered the market.

Tether 的代幣是領先的加密穩定幣，其次是 Circle 的美元硬幣 (USDC) 和最近進入市場的 Ripple 的 RLUSD 等競爭對手。

According to the company’s latest financial attestation, 80% of Tether’s reserves are held in T-Bills, and the digital payment titan’s attestations are conducted by BDO Italia, an independent third-party accounting firm.

根據該公司最新的財務鑑證，Tether 80%的儲備金以國庫券形式持有，這家數位支付巨頭的鑑證由獨立第三方會計師事務所 BDO Italia 進行。

Following the 2022 market crash, Tether began publishing quarterly updates, which became standard practice after the crypto ecosystem discovered the insolvencies of several firms, including FTX and Three Arrows Capital.

2022 年市場崩盤後，Tether 開始發布季度更新，在加密生態系統發現包括 FTX 和三箭資本在內的多家公司破產後，這成為標準做法。

While these attestations have addressed some concerns regarding USDT, critics maintain that they do not constitute full audits. It remains to be seen whether Tether would comply with new U.S. legislation if it mandated more stringent financial reporting.

雖然這些證明解決了有關 USDT 的一些擔憂，但批評者認為它們並不構成全面審計。如果美國新法規強制要求更嚴格的財務報告，Tether 是否會遵守該法規還有待觀察。

It’s worth noting that Tether’s operations are primarily focused on emerging markets outside the U.S. and Europe. The company also plans to shift its global headquarters to El Salvador, which became the first country to legalize Bitcoin (BTC).

值得注意的是，Tether 的業務主要集中在美國和歐洲以外的新興市場。該公司還計劃將全球總部遷至薩爾瓦多，該國成為第一個使比特幣（BTC）合法化的國家。
