China se beneficiará mais com regulamentações pouco claras dos EUA

  • O CEO da Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, acredita que os regulamentos pouco claros sobre cripto na América impulsionarão os negócios no exterior.
  • Armstrong stated that if the situation remains the same, “adversary nations” like China will prevail as crypto hubs. 
  • He said that blockchain is a “transformative technology that can revolutionize a wide array of sectors.”
  • O executivo deu exemplos de grandes empresas da China como Tencent e Alipay que decidiram adotar a tecnologia blockchain.

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. 

Em um artigo de opinião de 30 de maio para Observação do 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.” 

A China está gradualmente aceitando mais a tecnologia blockchain e também está se concentrando na adoção de tokens não fungíveis, ou NFTs. Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, a China deve estrear um Centro Nacional de Inovação em Tecnologia Blockchain que será focado no avanço da indústria blockchain. A aprovação para o centro de pesquisa blockchain was given by the country’s Ministry of Science and Technology. 

Por outro lado, a China também estreou um mercado nacional NFT no início do ano, e a plataforma funciona como um mercado secundário para negociação de NFT no país. A plataforma foi criada pela estatal Chinese Technology Exchange, Art Exhibitions China e pela 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.
