<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

美國國會議員和白宮官員利用中本聰演講台的小組討論來論證，明確的加密貨幣規則將決定美國在下一階段金融創新中是引領潮流還是落後於人…

<div><div><p>美國立法者和白宮官員利用中本聰演講小組來論證，明確的加密貨幣規則將決定美國在下一階段的金融創新中是領先還是退讓。</p><adv/><p>這場題為「我們是否獲得了更多清晰度？」的討論，重點關注了《清晰度法案》、過去幾屆政府的執法情況，以及政治風雲變幻可能逆轉加密貨幣監管進展的風險。</p><adv/><p>參議員辛西婭·盧米斯警告說，另一個敵對的政府將意味著“合理的監管就此結束”，她將 2026 年的選舉週期視為對國會能否為數字資產鎖定一個持久框架的直接考驗。</p><p>她認為，可預測的規則對建築商和資本家來說至關重要，並表示，該行業不能圍繞著隨著白宮每次換屆而變化的政策制定計劃。盧米斯還反駁了有關加密貨幣和犯罪的擔憂，稱“數位資產比法定貨幣更容易偵破犯罪”，因為交易記錄能為執法部門提供現金無法提供的線索。</p><h2> Witt：美國應該在加密貨幣領域佔據主導地位</h2><p>白宮數位資產顧問派崔克·維特闡述了美國在數位資產領域的領導地位，並提出了雄心勃勃的願景。他表示：“我們想要主導市場”，稱加密貨幣是“金融基礎設施的未來”，並將這一論點與《清晰法案》（Clarity Act）的通過直接掛鉤。他指出，一旦立法者制定出清晰的數位資產監管框架，“比特幣和加密貨幣將像火箭一樣起飛”，並與市場和銀行體系實現更深層的整合。</p><p>維特表示，該法案的重點是明確交易所（包括上市交易產品的交易所）、錢包提供商和基於比特幣進行開發的開發者的義務，並表示這套規則“至關重要”，以便市場參與者了解他們的責任，並將比特幣更深入地與更廣泛的金融體系聯繫起來。</p><p>維特也批評了早期的政策和執法選擇。他表示，近年來該行業“被錯誤地針對和批評”，他認為這導致創新轉移到海外，並使外國中心佔據了市場的核心部分。</p><p>他指出，最大的中心化交易所設在美國境外是“美國領導力的缺失”，並將《清晰法案》視為扭轉這一趨勢的契機。他認為，該法案可以將交易場所和開發者帶回美國本土，並圍繞比特幣交易所交易產品、託管和支付基礎設施建立一個本土生態系統。</p><p>在小組討論中，發言者們一再提及同一個問題：華盛頓能否提供持久清晰的政策，還是會繼續依賴零散的執法？盧米斯從投資者保護和國家競爭力的角度闡述了其中的利害關係，而維特則強調了在美國建立下一波金融基礎設施的機會。兩人都認為，即將到來的立法窗口以及隨後的選舉，對於比特幣、更廣泛的加密貨幣市場以及美國在其中的角色而言，都是一個轉捩點。</p><p>這篇題為《立法者警告：加密貨幣的清晰度將決定美國在 2026 年大選中的領導地位》的文章最初發表於 Bitcoin Magazine，作者是 Micah Zimmerman。</p></div></div>
