斯卡拉穆奇：加密货币不会压制美元

金融家安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇认为，唐纳德·特朗普之所以接受比特币，是因为它实际上对美元霸权有利。

Financier Anthony Scaramucci says Donald Trump has embraced Bitcoin because it’s a plus for US dollar supremacy.

金融家安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇表示，唐纳德·特朗普之所以拥抱比特币，是因为它对美元霸权有利。

The former White House communications director told The Australian on Monday that cryptocurrencies are “a net positive for the world”.

这位前白宫通讯主管周一告诉《澳大利亚人报》，加密货币“对世界来说是积极的”。

“It’s a net positive for the United States and it’s a net positive for the dollar,” Mr Scaramucci said.

“这对美国和美元都是净利好，”斯卡拉穆奇表示。

“It’s a way for the United States to maintain its financial hegemony, which is good for the world and good for the United States.”

“这是美国维持金融霸权的一种方式，这对世界有利，对美国有利。”

Mr Scaramucci, who is now the managing partner of investment firm SkyBridge Capital, said that cryptocurrencies are “here to stay”.

现任投资公司 SkyBridge Capital 管理合伙人的斯卡拉穆奇表示，加密货币“将继续存在”。

“It’s a new asset class and it’s going to be a big part of the world’s financial system,” he said.

“这是一种新的资产类别，它将成为世界金融体系的重要组成部分，”他说。

“I think we’re going to see a lot of institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies in the coming year.”

“我认为来年我们将看到许多机构采用加密货币。”

Mr Scaramucci’s comments come as Bitcoin has surged to new all-time highs in recent weeks. The world’s largest cryptocurrency is now trading above $60,000.

斯卡拉穆奇发表此番言论之际，比特币近几周已飙升至历史新高。全球最大的加密货币目前交易价格超过 60,000 美元。

The Trump administration has been largely supportive of cryptocurrencies, with the Treasury Department issuing guidance in 2020 that classifies certain digital assets as securities.

特朗普政府在很大程度上支持加密货币，财政部于 2020 年发布了指导意见，将某些数字资产归类为证券。

However, the Biden administration has yet to take a clear stance on cryptocurrencies.

不过，拜登政府尚未对加密货币采取明确立场。
