Trump Presidency Will Be 'Total Game Changer' For Crypto Industry, Says Pro-Bitcoin Senator Cynthia Lummis: Forsees 'Uphill Battle' If Kamala Harris Wins
Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), a known cryptocurrency and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) advocate stated that a Donald Trump victory in the upcoming elections will be a "total game changer" for the industry, while the exact opposite will happen if Democratic rival Kamala Harris wins.
知名的加密貨幣和比特幣(CRYPTO: BTC)支持者、懷俄明州參議員辛西婭·盧米斯(R-懷俄明)表示,特朗普在即將到來的選舉中獲勝將會對該行業產生「徹底改變遊戲規則」的影響,而如果民主黨的競爭對手賀錦麗贏得勝選,則會發生完全相反的情況。
What happened: In an interview with Bankless, the Republican senator expressed confidence that Trump would push for a Bitcoin strategic reserve in his first address to Congress.
發生的事情:在接受Bankless採訪時,這位共和黨參議員表示,她相信特朗普將在首次向國會發表講話時推動比特幣戰略儲備。
"I think he advocates a regulatory framework that is very pro-innovation. I think he puts regulators in place at the SEC, CFTC, and OCC that are friendly to an understanding of digital assets," Lummis asserted.
我認爲他提倡的監管框架是非常支持創新的。我認爲他在證交會、期貨交易委員會和國家銀行監督管理委員會任命了對數字資產有着友善和理解的監管機構。盧米斯表示。
On the other hand, she cautioned that the industry would be fighting an "uphill battle" if Harris wins the race to the White House.
另一方面,她警告說,如果賀錦麗贏得白宮之爭,該行業將面臨一場「艱難的戰鬥」。
My BITCOIN Act is currently the only viable solution that positions us to cut our national debt in half by 2045. I joined @BanklessHQ to discuss how my commonsense legislation will get us back on track and secure our position as a world leader in financial innovation.
— Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) September 4, 2024
我的比特幣法案目前是唯一一個能夠使我們在2045年將國家債務減半的可行方案。我加入了@BanklessHQ,討論了我的常識性立法將如何使我們重回正軌,穩固我們的金融創新領導地位。
——辛西婭·盧米斯參議員(@SenLummis)2024年9月4日
The senator also talked about her proposed legislation to establish a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve, aiming to enhance the dollar's strength and address the country's $35 trillion debt.
該參議員還談到了她提出的立法,旨在建立美國的比特幣戰略儲備,旨在增強美元的實力並解決國家35萬億美元的債務問題。
"The expectation is that a million Bitcoin 20 years from now would be worth $17 trillion," Lummis stated, pitching it as the only "viable" solution to cut the financial hole by half.
「預計 20 年後的一百萬比特幣價值將達到 17 萬億美元,」盧米斯表示,把它作爲減少財政漏洞的唯一「可行」解決方案。
Why It Matters: Lummis' remarks came amid Trump's growing outreach to the cryptocurrency demographic, marking a 360-degree pivot from the time he called Bitcoin a "scam."
爲什麼重要:盧米斯的講話發生在特朗普不斷擴大對數字貨幣人群的影響力之際,這標誌着他對比特幣的態度發生了360度的轉變,而不久之前他還稱比特幣是一個"騙局"。
The former president has also expressed support for a national Bitcoin stockpile, noting in one of the interviews that it could be used to "wipe out" $35 trillion worth of U.S. debt.
前總統還表示支持建立國家比特幣儲備,並在其中一次採訪中指出,它可以用來"清償"價值35萬億美元的美國債務。
While Trump's campaign has been called "more explicit" by some in the business, the Harris campaign's outreach has also been appreciated.
儘管特朗普的競選活動被一些業內人士稱爲"更明確",但賀錦麗陣營的推廣活動也受到了讚賞。
Recently, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D) emphasized the importance of "sensible and long-lasting" cryptocurrency regulation for the industry.
近日,參議院多數黨領袖查克·舒默強調了對行業的"明智和持久的"數字貨幣監管的重要性。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at 57,077.16, up 0.53% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
價格走勢:截至撰寫本文時,根據Benzinga Pro的數據,比特幣的交易價格爲57,077.16美元,較過去24小時上漲了0.53%。
