美國銀行正試圖壟斷Stablecoin市場

美國銀行是全球最大的銀行之一，資產為2840億美元，他正試圖對穩定市場產生更多控制權。

A new cash-backed digital dollar, “Bank of America coin,” is being prepped for launch by the bank, the CEO confirms. The move is seen as a direct response to non-bank institutions.

首席執行官證實，該銀行正在為推出新的現金支持的數字美元“美國銀行硬幣”。此舉被視為對非銀行機構的直接響應。

In a wide-ranging interview, CEO Brian Moynihan also touched on the pressing issue of rising food prices. He believes that while some price increases are to be expected due to inflation, there are instances where prices have risen excessively.

在一次廣泛的採訪中，首席執行官布萊恩·莫尼漢（Brian Moynihan）也談到了糧食價格上漲的緊迫問題。他認為，儘管由於通貨膨脹，預計會有一些價格上漲，但在某些情況下，價格過度上漲。

“We’re now seeing some food prices go up more than they should be, and I think that’s something people are noticing and commenting on,” Moynihan said.

Moynihan說：“我們現在看到一些食品價格上漲了比應該上漲的更多，我認為這是人們注意到和評論的事情。”

This statement comes shortly after the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill that aims to prevent price gouging during periods of economic distress, an issue that has become increasingly relevant with the recent surge in food prices.

在美國眾議院批准一項旨在防止經濟困擾期間價格欺騙的法案之後不久，該聲明發表了，這一問題與最近的糧食價格漲幅變得越來越相關。

The bipartisan bill, which was approved by a vote of 240 to 186, is now headed to the Senate. The bill, in part, seeks to restrict companies from setting “unreasonable” price increases for food, gasoline, and other essential goods during times of national emergency.

兩黨法案以240票對186票獲得批准，現已前往參議院。該法案部分試圖限制公司在國家緊急情況時期將食品，汽油和其他必需品的“不合理”價格上漲。

The initiative to ban price gouging was spearheaded by Representative Announced Demichelle (D-N.J.), who expressed concern over reports of price hikes on goods like baby formula and meat, despite no evidence of increased production costs.

代表宣布的Demichelle（DN.J.）率領禁止價格欺詐的舉措，他對嬰兒配方奶粉和肉類等商品的價格上漲表示關注，儘管沒有證據表明生產成本增加。

“We’re in a time of crisis, and these companies are exploiting it to maximize their own profits at the expense of consumers,” Demichelle stated.

Demichelle說：“我們正處於危機時期，這些公司正在利用它，以最大限度地利用自己的利潤，而犧牲消費者為代價。”

However, Republican lawmakers largely opposed the bill, arguing that it grants excessive authority to the government to interfere in the free market and could ultimately escalate prices further.

但是，共和黨議員在很大程度上反對該法案，認為它賦予政府過多的權力，以乾預自由市場，並最終可能進一步上升。

“This bill is a direct assault on the free market system that has made America the most prosperous nation in the world,” said Representative Tom Cole (R-Okla.).

代表湯姆·科爾（Tom Cole）表示：“該法案是對自由市場製度的直接攻擊，使美國成為世界上最繁榮的國家。”

Despite this, the bill ultimately passed with the support of several House Republicans, including Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who is now the Speaker of the House.

儘管如此，該法案最終在幾位眾議院共和黨人的支持下通過，包括代表凱文·麥卡錫（Kevin McCarthy）（R-Calif。），後者現在是眾議院議長。

The administration of President Joe Biden has also shown support for the initiative.

喬·拜登（Joe Biden）總統的政府也表示支持該倡議。
