Draconian加密法规阻止了美国公民从空投中受益

美国人的潜在收入高达26亿美元，政府损失了14亿美元

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.

风险投资公司Dragonfly估计，Draconian Crypto法规阻止了美国公民从Airdrops中受益，这是一种通过分发免费代币来奖励用户社区的方式 - 具有巨大的经济影响。

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.

仅在过去的四年中，该公司就计算出美国用户的潜在收入多达26.4亿美元，而政府则错过了多达14亿美元的损失税收收入。

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.

这些数字在周二以数字资产为中心的公司的一份报告中提出，该数据基于一系列数字，基于11个主要空调的样本，这些数字自2020年以来产生了超过71.6亿美元的样本。该列表包括1英寸，Eigenlayer，仲裁，仲裁，仲裁，雅典娜，雅典娜，乐观，乐观，乐观和层。这些空投中涉及的每个合格地址的平均中位数索赔为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.

蜻蜓副总法律顾问杰西卡·弗尔（Jessica Furr）在接受采访时说：“我们意识到，真正需要数据，实际上可以表明执法部门的监管影响以及这些政策如何影响个人，整体经济和美国政府。”

“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，我们决定将AirDrops作为Crypto的离散用例，以了解当前政策如何造成一些负面外部性。我们想强调，有机会通过明确的规则来创造更积极的外部性。”

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).

该报告估计，从2020 - 2024年开始，由于盖上封锁，美国用户损失了18.4亿至26.4亿美元的潜在收入，这是一种围栏US IP地址的技术，因此加密项目可以避免产生像证券和交易委员会（SEC）这样的监管机构的愤怒。

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.

美国多年的监管不确定性对加密货币创新，吓oint的创业公司产生了令人不寒而栗的影响，而较大的公司已经与传票一起服务，并与监管机构进行了诉讼。

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.

除区块链建设者外，SEC还针对Union Square Ventures和Andreessen Horowitz等风险投资公司投资于UnisWap等平台，Dragonfly Report the Flody Fly Report列举了这是美国最后一个不愿在美国进行地覆盖的主要空调。

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.

蜻蜓并不是唯一一家强调美国地球块的风险投资公司：总部位于纽约市的变种基金还发表了一份报告，研究了加密货币公司别无选择，而是简单地将所有美国人排除在SEC攻击目标的钝工具。

“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说：“如果规则不清楚项目可以做什么，那么避免陷入麻烦就更好了。”

“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.”

“被拉入一个昂贵的诉讼中，您必须为自己辩护，可以关闭项目，因为他们无法付出该账单。但是，如果有明确的规则，也许项目可以申请相关许可并继续运营。”

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.

报告称，全世界所有活跃加密货币的四分之一都由美国居民控制，自2020年以来，美国的用户数量约为520万。该图不包括那些恢复使用虚拟专用网络（VPN）来击败地理审判措施的人。

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.

蜻蜓还达到了估计的税收损失，这是由于2020年至2024年之间的地形收入损失，它的个人税和公司税款为5.25亿美元至13.8亿美元。
