The unclear regulatory policies of the United States when it comes to the legalization of crypto assets have left the developing industry in a state of confusion. Interestingly, according to a recent statement from the CEO and co-founder of the largest crypto exchange in the US, Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, this might prove to be challenging for the country. The Coinbase executive believes that the unclear policies of the US will benefit the world’s second-most populous country, China, and will push many companies offshore.
En un artículo de opinión del 30 de mayo para Reloj de mercado, the crypto entrepreneur stated that due to the recent downfall of the crypto market and the implosion of multiple crypto companies, it will become easier for regulators to label the industry as unstable. However, Armstrong stated that America is missing the “big picture” when it comes to digital assets.
“We and others in the industry have been asking policymakers and regulators to give us the regulatory clarity needed to ensure consumer protection and realize the promise of crypto,” said the CEO of Coinbase, while adding:
“But instead of robust new rules that would help these efforts, we’re getting threats of enforcement action. By enforcing restrictive policies, the US is inadvertently driving crypto-innovation offshore. That shift will compromise America’s legacy of pioneering technological advancements, and weaken our national security posture.”
China está aceptando gradualmente más la tecnología blockchain y también se está enfocando en la adopción de tokens no fungibles o NFT. Como informó anteriormente Bitnation, China está lista para estrenar un Centro Nacional de Innovación Tecnológica Blockchain que se centrará en el avance de la industria blockchain. La aprobación de la centro de investigación de blockchain was given by the country’s Ministry of Science and Technology.
Por otro lado, China también estrenó un mercado nacional de NFT a principios de año, y la plataforma sirve como mercado secundario para el comercio de NFT en el país. La plataforma fue creada por la empresa estatal Chinese Technology Exchange, Art Exhibitions China y la empresa privada Huban Digital Copyrights Ltd.
Armstrong stated that cryptographic blockchains are not financial services, but they are one of their many applications. He said that blockchain is a “transformative technology that can revolutionize a wide array of sectors.” While citing examples of some of the biggest companies in China like Alipay and Tencent, the Coinbase exec stated that the Asian country is more receptive to blockchain technology as compared to the US.
Recently, Tencent announced that it had received a novel patent for a blockchain-based missing person’s poster. This simple patent took over three years to be approved from the initial date of filing in December 2019. The patent includes the generation of data upon request by a user indicating that a person has gone missing.
Furthermore, China has also been working towards the development of the digital yuan and increasing the official CBDC’s adoption rate in the country. WeChat, the country’s leading social networking and payment app, recently announced that it has integrated the digital yuan into its platform, allowing users to use the digital yuan for payments on certain WeChat mini-programs and other platforms.
“Crypto, like the internet before it, has the potential to modernize finance and numerous other sectors, from supply chains to social media, by offering a faster, cheaper, more private, and accessible platform. It’s already underway,” noted Armstrong.
The Coinbase exec believes that the traditional financial capitals, including the UK, United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Japan, the European Union, Australia, and Singapore, are “vying to become crypto hubs” because they recognize the potential of blockchain technology, but the US is moving in the opposite direction.
