Anchorage Digital, a federally chartered crypto bank and stablecoin infrastructure provider, has submitted a public comment letter supporting the US Treasury Department’s proposed Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and sanctions framework for the GENIUS Act, arguing that the rules largely strike the right balance between compliance and innovation.
<adv/>In a letter published Wednesday, Anchorage said the proposed framework appropriately places AML obligations on regulated stablecoin issuers while urging Treasury to clarify secondary-market sanctions liability, enterprise-wide AML programs and correspondent account requirements.
<adv/>Specifically, Anchorage argued that issuers should not face strict liability for failing to independently identify sanctioned users who transact on secondary markets through their smart contracts.
“A final rule that is clear and workable gives regulated institutions the certainty they need to build, and strengthens U.S. leadership in the next generation of payments and settlement infrastructure,” Anchorage said.

The comments address Treasury rules proposed in April that would classify payment stablecoin issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, subjecting them to AML, customer due diligence and suspicious activity reporting requirements.
The proposal, jointly issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), would align stablecoin issuers with existing US anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance standards while imposing enhanced monitoring and recordkeeping obligations.
<h2>Industry groups push for broader sanctions carveouts</h2>
Support for the proposed rulemaking has not been uniform across the crypto industry.
The lobbying arms of crypto derivatives exchange Hyperliquid and venture capital firm Paradigm recently submitted their own comment letter seeking greater clarity on secondary-market obligations, echoing Anchorage’s concerns but taking a more critical view of the proposal overall.

The groups argued that the current framework could impose sanctions obligations on issuers even when they lack a direct relationship with or visibility into users transacting on secondary markets.
“OFAC sweeps secondary market activity into the issuer’s compliance perimeter, treating smart contract interactions as an ongoing “provision of services” that carries sanctions liability regardless of whether the issuer has any relationship with, or visibility into, the transacting parties,” they said.

Anchorage backs Treasury’s GENIUS AML rules, seeks secondary-market sanctions clarity

<div><div>獲得聯邦特許的加密銀行和穩定幣基礎設施提供商 Anchorage Digital 提交了一封公開評論信，支持美國財政部提出的 GENIUS 法案反洗錢 (AML) 和制裁框架，認為這些規則在很大程度上實現了合規性和創新之間的適當平衡。<adv/> Anchorage 在週三發表的一封信中表示，擬議的框架恰當地將反洗錢義務置於受監管的穩定幣發行人身上，同時敦促財政部澄清二級市場制裁責任、企業範圍內的反洗錢計劃和代理賬戶要求。<adv/>具體來說，安克雷奇認為，發行方不應因未能獨立識別通過其智能合約在二級市場進行交易的受制裁用戶而承擔嚴格責任。 “一項清晰可行的最終規則，能夠為受監管機構提供構建下一代支付和結算基礎設施所需的確定性，並加強美國在該領域的領導地位，”安克雷奇表示。<figure><img src="https://cnews24.ru/uploads/8c0/8c01a441329c3bdbd45a2cbb2cf9eb2970f16d8b.png"/></figure>來源：凱文·維索基這些評論針對的是財政部在 4 月份提出的規則，該規則將支付穩定幣發行者歸類為《銀行保密法》下的金融機構，使其受到反洗錢、客戶盡職調查和可疑活動報告要求的約束。該提案由金融犯罪執法網絡 (FinCEN) 和財政部外國資產控制辦公室 (OFAC) 聯合發佈，旨在使穩定幣發行者與現有的美國反洗錢和制裁合規標準保持一致，同時加強監控和記錄保存義務。<h2>行業團體推動擴大制裁豁免範圍</h2>加密貨幣行業對擬議規則制定的支持並不一致。加密衍生品交易所 Hyperliquid 和風險投資公司 Paradigm 的遊說機構最近提交了自己的評論信，要求對二級市場義務做出更明確的解釋，這與 Anchorage 的擔憂相呼應，但對該提案總體上持更為批判的態度。<figure><img src="https://cnews24.ru/uploads/bad/bade2349408d392efe02c7ff16ba328a9aa76fc3.png"/></figure>來源：斯特凡·施羅普這些團體認為，即使發行人與在二級市場進行交易的用戶沒有直接關係或無法瞭解這些用戶，目前的框架也可能對發行人施加制裁義務。他們表示：“OFAC 將二級市場活動納入發行人的合規範圍，將智能合約交互視為持續的‘提供服務’，無論發行人是否與交易方有任何關係或瞭解交易方的情況，都將承擔制裁責任。”相關報道：美國證券交易委員會的皮爾斯認為，發佈DeFi代碼受言論自由保護。</div></div>
