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

稳定币成为美国加密货币政策的基石问题

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

美国参议员 Kirsten Gillibrand 和 Cynthia Lummis 于 2024 年 4 月共同发起了 Lummis-Gillibrand 支付稳定币法案。

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."

参议员吉利布兰德在向参议院提交该法案时写道：“通过稳定币监管框架对于维持美元的主导地位绝对至关重要。”

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，美国前众议院议长保罗·瑞安（Paul Ryan）撰写了一篇专栏文章，认为稳定币可以缓解国债危机并保护美元作为全球储备货币的地位。

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.

这位前政治家认为，超额抵押稳定币的发行人总共持有超过 1200 亿美元的短期美国政府债券，这将有助于推动对美国政府债务的需求。

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 发表专栏文章后，参议员 Bill Hagerty 于 10 月推出了《支付稳定币清晰度法案》，旨在为稳定币创建全面的监管框架。

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.

该法案包括一项在州一级而非联邦一级监管市值低于 100 亿美元的稳定币发行人的条款。

Ethena 创始人 Guy Young 预测，在 Tether (USDT) 和 Circle 的 USDC 等现有稳定币的推动下，稳定币行业的市值将在 2025 年达到 3000 亿美元。

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.

机构资产管理公司 HashKey Capital 首席执行官邓超最近向 Cointelegraph 表示，稳定币是风险投资家关注的 2025 年潜在投资的主要数字资产类别之一。

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，风险投资公司越来越关注新兴市场经济体的稳定币，因为它们已被证明可以为全球无银行账户人口提供银行服务。
