Die Info fehlt hier ja noch im Thread... sowas hat schon diekte Auswirkungen auf den Kurs also hier als Auszug aus dem aktuellen Ledger Newsletter:
It was long awaited, and it’s finally here. On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden signed an executive order directing federal agencies to examine regulatory changes, a move he considers a response to “the explosive growth in digital assets.”
When the report was leaked, the crypto market saw a steep rise. So, what is this executive order about?
Good Regulatory News, At Last?
The executive order reflects America’s positioning on digital assets, one that, according to national security adviser Jack Sullivan, “encourages innovation but mitigates the risks.” This executive order plans to give more consistency to the government’s actions and to define federal agencies’ specific roles in this new framework.
However, the order doesn’t implement concrete changes, but rather starts a regulatory process. As Seth Hertlein, Global Head of Policy at Ledger, puts it, “it doesn’t do much. It directs the federal agencies to work together on crypto and commissions some studies and reports, which are mostly harmless.”
The most important detail about the order is the Digital Dollar, as it reads that the US “places the highest urgency on R&D efforts into the potential deployment of a US CBDC.” In January, the Fed released a whitepaper where it found that a CBDC could make “payments cheaper” but “pose a risk to the stability of the US financial system.”
Behind Joe Biden’s Move
How to interpret this regulatory move? Does it finally show that the US is open to the crypto ecosystem? The answer is mixed.
Yes, this executive order gives Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies strong recognition. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire believes the US has understood that “digital assets represent one of the most significant technologies for the 21st century.”
However, the devil is often in the details. The order commissions 21 reports, 13 of which focus on enforcement, while 7 deal with CBDC. Only 1 speaks to economic competitiveness. The order implicates 15 executive agencies and invites the participation of 7 independent financial regulators. “Historically, most of these agencies have not been friendly to crypto,” Hertlein added, “so while we can hope the order represents a new approach, we should not assume the agency reports will be positive.”
Many crypto advocates feared that the White House would try to delete this industry. It hasn’t happened. Beyond the rhetoric, when will the US take concrete actions, and what will they look like?
