<p>U.S. lawmakers and White House officials used a Nakamoto Stage panel to argue that clear crypto rules will decide whether the United States leads or cedes ground in the next phase of financial innovation.</p>
<adv/><p>The discussion, titled “Are We Getting More Clarity?”, focused on the Clarity Act, enforcement under past administrations, and the risk that political swings could undo progress on crypto regulation.</p>
<adv/><p>Senator Cynthia Lummis warned that another hostile administration would mean “game over for sensible regulation,” framing the 2026 election cycle as a direct test of whether Congress can lock in a durable framework for digital assets.</p>
<p>She argued that predictable rules are now essential for builders and capital, and said the industry cannot plan around policy that shifts with each change in the White House. Lummis also pushed back on concerns about crypto and crime, saying “it’s easier to solve crimes in digital assets than fiat currencies” because transaction records give law enforcement a trail that cash does not.</p>
<h2>Witt:USA should dominate in crypto</h2>
<p>White House digital asset adviser Patrick Witt set out an aggressive vision for U.S. leadership. “We want to dominate,” he said, calling crypto “the future of financial infrastructure” and tying that claim directly to passage of the Clarity Act. He said that once lawmakers deliver a clear regime for digital assets, “Bitcoin and crypto will take off like a rocketship,” with greater integration into markets and the banking system.</p>
<p>Witt described the bill’s focus as defining obligations for exchanges that list exchange-traded products, wallet providers, and developers who build on Bitcoin, and said that set of rules is “critically important” so market participants understand their responsibilities and can connect Bitcoin more deeply to the broader financial system.</p>
<p>Witt also criticized earlier policy and enforcement choices. He said the industry “got wrongly targeted and criticized” in recent years, which he argued pushed innovation offshore and let foreign hubs claim core parts of the market.</p>
<p>He pointed to the location of the largest centralized exchanges outside the United States as “a failure of U.S. leadership,” and cast the Clarity Act as a chance to reverse that trend. In his view, the measure could bring trading venues and developers back onshore and support a domestic ecosystem around Bitcoin exchange-traded products, custody, and payments infrastructure.</p>
<p>Across the panel, speakers returned to the same question: whether Washington will offer lasting clarity or continue to rely on fragmented enforcement. Lummis framed the stakes in terms of investor protection and national competitiveness, while Witt stressed the opportunity to anchor the next wave of financial infrastructure in the United States. Both cast the coming legislative window, and the election that follows it, as a turning point for Bitcoin, broader crypto markets, and the country’s role in them.</p>

Lawmakers Warn Crypto Clarity Will Decide U.S. Leadership as 2026 Election Looms

<div><div><p>美国立法者和白宫官员利用中本聪演讲小组来论证，明确的加密货币规则将决定美国在下一阶段的金融创新中是领先还是退让。</p><adv/><p>这场题为「我们是否获得了更多清晰度？」的讨论，重点关注了《清晰度法案》、过去几届政府的执法情况，以及政治风云变幻可能逆转加密货币监管进展的风险。</p><adv/><p>参议员辛西娅·卢米斯警告说，另一个敌对的政府将意味著“合理的监管就此结束”，她将 2026 年的选举周期视为对国会能否为数字资产锁定一个持久框架的直接考验。</p><p>她认为，可预测的规则对建筑商和资本家来说至关重要，并表示，该行业不能围绕著随著白宫每次换届而变化的政策制定计划。卢米斯还反驳了有关加密货币和犯罪的担忧，称“数位资产比法定货币更容易侦破犯罪”，因为交易记录能为执法部门提供现金无法提供的线索。</p><h2> Witt：美国应该在加密货币领域占据主导地位</h2><p>白宫数位资产顾问派崔克·维特阐述了美国在数位资产领域的领导地位，并提出了雄心勃勃的愿景。他表示：“我们想要主导市场”，称加密货币是“金融基础设施的未来”，并将这一论点与《清晰法案》（Clarity Act）的通过直接挂钩。他指出，一旦立法者制定出清晰的数位资产监管框架，“比特币和加密货币将像火箭一样起飞”，并与市场和银行体系实现更深层的整合。</p><p>维特表示，该法案的重点是明确交易所（包括上市交易产品的交易所）、钱包提供商和基于比特币进行开发的开发者的义务，并表示这套规则“至关重要”，以便市场参与者了解他们的责任，并将比特币更深入地与更广泛的金融体系联系起来。</p><p>维特也批评了早期的政策和执法选择。他表示，近年来该行业“被错误地针对和批评”，他认为这导致创新转移到海外，并使外国中心占据了市场的核心部分。</p><p>他指出，最大的中心化交易所设在美国境外是“美国领导力的缺失”，并将《清晰法案》视为扭转这一趋势的契机。他认为，该法案可以将交易场所和开发者带回美国本土，并围绕比特币交易所交易产品、托管和支付基础设施建立一个本土生态系统。</p><p>在小组讨论中，发言者们一再提及同一个问题：华盛顿能否提供持久清晰的政策，还是会继续依赖零散的执法？卢米斯从投资者保护和国家竞争力的角度阐述了其中的利害关系，而维特则强调了在美国建立下一波金融基础设施的机会。两人都认为，即将到来的立法窗口以及随后的选举，对于比特币、更广泛的加密货币市场以及美国在其中的角色而言，都是一个转捩点。</p><p>这篇题为《立法者警告：加密货币的清晰度将决定美国在 2026 年大选中的领导地位》的文章最初发表于 Bitcoin Magazine，作者是 Micah Zimmerman。</p></div></div>
