Coinbase首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗正在为一项得到特朗普总统支持的两党加密货币法案发声，他周四对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示，该法案将扩大消费者保护措施，防止FTX崩盘事件重演。
“当前的现状是，人们对监管规则并不明晰。因此我们看到许多普通美国人在使用这类产品时遭受了损失，”阿姆斯特朗在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻主播、MoneyWatch记者凯利·奥格雷迪采访时表示，“所以这项法案将提供大量消费者保护措施。”
《清晰法案》计划于9月在参议院进行投票，该法案将为加密货币建立监管框架，对迄今为止基本处于法律灰色地带的行业加强监管。众议院已于去年通过该法案，根据法案内容，美国证券交易委员会和商品期货交易委员会将共同对数字资产进行监管。
阿姆斯特朗认为，这些新的监管护栏将有利于金融服务业，提升美国的竞争力，并加强对普通加密货币用户的保护。曾是加密货币界宠儿的FTX于2022年崩盘，其创始人萨姆·班克曼-弗里德挪用了客户资金。
皮尤研究中心的数据显示，约五分之一的美国人曾使用过加密货币。
“该法案为执法部门打击非法活动提供了强有力的工具，”阿姆斯特朗说，“同时它也有望创造出惠及美国民众的新型加密货币产品，包括通过稳定币余额获取收益、利用加密货币进行融资、资本形成或发行证券等。”
加密货币价格周四上涨，比特币和以太坊在午后交易中分别上涨5.9%和2.8%。
利益冲突？
特朗普总统周三在白宫会见了包括阿姆斯特朗在内的科技行业领袖，期间他呼吁国会通过《清晰法案》。
“这是一项非常、非常强有力的结构化立法，将让我们领先于中国，领先于其他所有国家，”根据《点名报》的 transcripts，他如是说道。
特朗普总统推动该法案之际，他的家族正在拓展自身的加密货币业务。周五，一名由特朗普任命的监管机构官员初步批准了世界自由信托公司获得银行牌照。该信托公司隶属于世界自由金融公司，该公司由特朗普的儿子们与特朗普政府中东问题特使史蒂夫·威特科夫的儿子们于2024年共同创立。
当被问及潜在的利益冲突时，阿姆斯特朗提到了法案中的道德条款。“据我所知，这是首次在任何立法中加入这类条款，”他对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示，“行政部门通常并不要求具备这一点。”
其他人则认为这些道德条款力度不足。马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦就持此观点。
“唐纳德·特朗普从加密货币业务中赚得了超过14亿美元，而这项法案并未阻止他再捞取14亿美元的加密货币利润，”沃伦参议员在7月的一份声明中说道。

Coinbase CEO says CLARITY Act will protect crypto users from another FTX collapse

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is making the case for a new bipartisan cryptocurrency bill backed by President Trump, telling CBS News on Thursday that it will broaden consumer protections and prevent a repeat of the FTX fallout.
“The current status quo today is that there isn’t much clarity about what the rules are. And so we are seeing a lot of ordinary Americans get harmed by using some of these products,” Armstrong said in an interview with CBS News anchor and MoneyWatch correspondent Kelly O’Grady. “So this bill creates lots of consumer protections.”
The CLARITY Act, which is scheduled for a Senate vote in September, would create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency, providing more oversight to an industry that has, up until now, been largely operating in a legal gray area. Under the bill, which the House passed last year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission would jointly regulate digital assets.
Armstrong believes the new guardrails would benefit the financial services sector, make the U.S. more competitive and enhance protections for ordinary crypto users. FTX, a one-time darling of the crypto world, collapsed in 2022 after its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, misappropriated customer funds.
About one in five Americans has used crypto, according to Pew Research.
“It has strong tools for law enforcement to go after illicit activity,” Armstrong said. “It also has the opportunity to create new products in crypto that would benefit Americans, including earning rewards on their stablecoin balances, the ability to go raise capital in crypto, capital formation or issuing securities.”
Cryptocurrency prices rose on Thursday, with bitcoin and ethereum gaining 5.9% and 2.8%, respectively, in afternoon trading.
Conflicts of interest?
President Trump met with tech leaders, including Armstrong, at the White House on Wednesday, where he called on Congress to pass the CLARITY Act.
“It’s a very, very powerful, structured legislation which will keep us ahead of China, keep us ahead of everyone else,” he said, according to a transcript from Roll Call.
Mr. Trump is pushing for the bill at the same time his family is expanding its own cryptocurrency ventures. On Friday, a Trump-appointed regulator granted preliminary approval toWorld Liberty Trust Company to establish a bank charter. The trust company is affiliated with World Liberty Financial, which President Trump’s sons founded in 2024 alongside the sons of Steve Witkoff, the Trump administration’s special envoy to the Middle East.
Asked about potential conflicts of interest, Armstrong pointed to an ethics provision within the bill. “To my understanding, it’s the first time that’s actually happened in any piece of legislation,” he told CBS News. “It’s not typically a requirement of the executive branch to have that.”
Others argue the ethics provisions don’t go far enough. That includes Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts.
“Donald Trump raked in more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures, and this bill does nothing to prevent him from vacuuming up his next $1.4 billion in crypto profits,” Sen. Warren said in a July statement.
