Draconian加密法規阻止了美國公民從空投中受益

美國人的潛在收入高達26億美元，政府損失了14億美元

Venture capital firm Dragonfly has estimated that draconian crypto regulation, which stopped U.S. citizens from benefiting from airdrops — a way of rewarding communities of users by distributing free tokens — has had a huge economic impact.

風險投資公司Dragonfly估計，Draconian Crypto法規阻止了美國公民從Airdrops中受益，這是一種通過分發免費代幣來獎勵用戶社區的方式 - 具有巨大的經濟影響。

In the past four years alone, the firm calculated that U.S. users missed out on as much as $2.64 billion in potential revenue and the government missed out on as much as $1.4 billion in lost tax income.

僅在過去的四年中，該公司就計算出美國用戶的潛在收入多達26.4億美元，而政府則錯過了多達14億美元的損失稅收收入。

The figures, presented in a report by the digital assets-focused firm on Tuesday, arrived at a range of figures based on a sample of 11 major airdrops that generated over $7.16 billion since 2020. The list includes the likes of 1inch, EigenLayer, Arbitrum, Athena, Optimism and LayerZero. The average median claim per eligible address involved in these airdrops was found to be $4,562.

這些數字在周二以數字資產為中心的公司的一份報告中提出，該數據基於一系列數字，基於11個主要空調的樣本，這些數字自2020年以來產生了超過71.6億美元的樣本。該列表包括1英寸，Eigenlayer，仲裁，仲裁，仲裁，雅典娜，雅典娜，樂觀，樂觀，樂觀和層。這些空投中涉及的每個合格地址的平均中位數索賠為4,562美元。

“We realized there's a real need for data that can actually show the effect of regulation by enforcement and how those policies impact individuals, the overall economy and the U.S. government,” Dragonfly associate general counsel Jessica Furr said in an interview.

蜻蜓副總法律顧問傑西卡·弗爾（Jessica Furr）在接受采訪時說：“我們意識到，真正需要數據，實際上可以表明執法部門的監管影響以及這些政策如何影響個人，整體經濟和美國政府。”

“So we decided to focus on airdrops as a discrete use case from crypto to see how the present policies may have created some negative externalities. We wanted to highlight that there's an opportunity to create more positive externalities with clear rules.”

“因此，我們決定將AirDrops作為Crypto的離散用例，以了解當前政策如何造成一些負面外部性。我們想強調，有機會通過明確的規則來創造更積極的外部性。”

The report estimates that between $1.84 billion and $2.64 billion in potential revenue was lost to U.S. users from 2020–2024 due to geoblocking, a technique of fencing off U.S. IP addresses so that crypto projects could avoid incurring the wrath of regulators like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

該報告估計，從2020 - 2024年開始，由於蓋上封鎖，美國用戶損失了18.4億至26.4億美元的潛在收入，這是一種圍欄US IP地址的技術，因此加密項目可以避免產生像證券和交易委員會（SEC）這樣的監管機構的憤怒。

Years of regulatory uncertainty in the U.S. have had a chilling effect on crypto innovation, scaring startups off-shore, while larger companies have been served with subpoenas and become engaged in lawsuits with regulators.

美國多年的監管不確定性對加密貨幣創新，嚇oint的創業公司產生了令人不寒而栗的影響，而較大的公司已經與傳票一起服務，並與監管機構進行了訴訟。

As well as blockchain builders, venture capital firms such as Union Square Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz were also targeted by the SEC for investing in platforms like Uniswap, which the Dragonfly report cites as the last major airdrop not to be geoblocked in the U.S.

除區塊鏈建設者外，SEC還針對Union Square Ventures和Andreessen Horowitz等風險投資公司投資於UnisWap等平台，Dragonfly Report the Flody Fly Report列舉了這是美國最後一個不願在美國進行地覆蓋的主要空調。

Dragonfly is not the only VC firm to highlight U.S. geoblocking: New York City-based Variant Fund also produced a report looking at how crypto firms are left with no choice but the blunt tool of simply excluding all Americans for fear of being targeted by the SEC.

蜻蜓並不是唯一一家強調美國地球塊的風險投資公司：總部位於紐約市的變種基金還發表了一份報告，研究了加密貨幣公司別無選擇，而是簡單地將所有美國人排除在SEC攻擊目標的鈍工具。

“If the rules are not clear about what projects can do, it becomes better to just geoblock to avoid getting into trouble,” Furr said.

Furr說：“如果規則不清楚項目可以做什麼，那麼避免陷入麻煩就更好了。”

“Being pulled into an expensive litigation where you have to defend yourself can shut projects down because they can't foot that bill. But if there were clear rules, perhaps projects could apply for relevant licenses and continue operating.”

“被拉入一個昂貴的訴訟中，您必須為自己辯護，可以關閉項目，因為他們無法付出該賬單。但是，如果有明確的規則，也許項目可以申請相關許可並繼續運營。”

Almost a quarter of all active crypto addresses worldwide are controlled by U.S. residents, and the number of users in America geoblocked since 2020 amounts to some 5.2 million, the report says. The figure excludes those who revert to using virtual private networks (VPNs) to beat geofencing measures.

報告稱，全世界所有活躍加密貨幣的四分之一都由美國居民控制，自2020年以來，美國的用戶數量約為520萬。該圖不包括那些恢復使用虛擬專用網絡（VPN）來擊敗地理審判措施的人。

Dragonfly also arrived at an estimated tax revenue lost due to geoblocked airdrop income between 2020 and 2024, which it pegs at between $525 million to $1.38 billion in personal and corporate taxes.

蜻蜓還達到了估計的稅收損失，這是由於2020年至2024年之間的地形收入損失，它的個人稅和公司稅款為5.25億美元至13.8億美元。
