Stablecoins become a cornerstone crypto policy issue in the U.S.

穩定幣成為美國加密貨幣政策的基石問題

U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Cynthia Lummis co-sponsored the Lummis-Gillibrand Payment Stablecoin Act in April 2024.

美國參議員 Kirsten Gillibrand 和 Cynthia Lummis 於 2024 年 4 月共同發起了 Lummis-Gillibrand 支付穩定幣法案。

Upon introducing the bill to the Senate, Senator Gillibrand wrote, "Passing a regulatory framework for stablecoins is absolutely critical to maintaining the US dollar's dominance."

參議員吉利布蘭德在向參議院提交該法案時寫道：“通過穩定幣監管框架對於維持美元的主導地位絕對至關重要。”

In June, Paul Ryan, the former U.S. Speaker of the House, penned an op-ed arguing that stablecoins could alleviate the national debt crisis and protect the dollar's role as the global reserve currency.

6月，美國前眾議院議長保羅·瑞安（Paul Ryan）撰寫了一篇專欄文章，認為穩定幣可以緩解國債危機並保護美元作為全球儲備貨幣的地位。

The former politician argued that issuers of overcollateralized stablecoins, which collectively hold more than $120 billion in short-term U.S. government securities, would help drive demand for U.S. government debt.

這位前政治家認為，超額抵押穩定幣的發行人總共持有超過 1,200 億美元的短期美國政府債券，這將有助於推動對美國政府債務的需求。

Following Ryan's op-ed, Senator Bill Hagerty introduced the Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act in October to create a comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins.

在 Ryan 發表專欄文章後，參議員 Bill Hagerty 於 10 月推出了《支付穩定幣清晰度法案》，旨在為穩定幣創建全面的監管框架。

Included within the bill was a provision to regulate stablecoin issuers with less than $10 billion in market capitalization at the state level rather than the federal level.

該法案包括一項在州一級而非聯邦一級監管市值低於 100 億美元的穩定幣發行人的條款。

Crypto VCs to eye stablecoins in 2025

加密貨幣創投公司將在 2025 年關注穩定幣

Guy Young, the founder of Ethena, predicted that the stablecoin sector will reach a market capitalization of $300 billion in 2025 — driven by incumbents such as Tether (USDT) and Circle's USDC.

Ethena 創辦人 Guy Young 預測，在 Tether (USDT) 和 Circle 的 USDC 等現有穩定幣的推動下，穩定幣產業的市值將在 2025 年達到 3,000 億美元。

Deng Chao, CEO of institutional asset manager HashKey Capital, recently told Cointelegraph that stablecoins are one of the main digital asset classes venture capitalists are eyeing for potential investments in 2025.

機構資產管理公司 HashKey Capital 執行長鄧超最近向 Cointelegraph 表示，穩定幣是創投家關注的 2025 年潛在投資的主要數位資產類別之一。

Chao said that VCs were increasingly focused on stablecoins in emerging market economies due to their proven use case of providing banking services to the global unbanked population.

Chao 表示，創投公司越來越關注新興市場經濟體的穩定幣，因為它們已被證明可以為全球無銀行帳戶人口提供銀行服務。
