保羅·瑞安 (Paul Ryan) 寫道，加密貨幣可以避免美國債務危機

曾在時任總統歐巴馬(Barack Obama)領導下擔任眾議院議長的共和黨人瑞安寫道，「以美元支持的穩定幣提供了對美國公共債務的需求，也是跟上中國步伐的一種方式。

Former U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan has suggested that crypto could help the country avoid a debt crisis. In an opinion piece published by The Wall Street Journal on Monday, Ryan highlighted the potential role of dollar-backed stablecoins in meeting demand for U.S. public debt.

美國眾議院前議長 Paul Ryan 表示，加密貨幣可以幫助該國避免債務危機。在《華爾街日報》週一發表的一篇評論文章中，瑞安強調了美元支持的穩定幣在滿足美國公共債務需求方面的潛在作用。

According to Ryan, other countries have managed to bolster the influence of their currencies while dumping Treasury debt. He pointed out that several U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins are already available in the market, such as Tether (USDT) and U.S. Dollar Coin (USDC).

瑞安表示，其他國家在拋售國債的同時也設法增強了本國貨幣的影響力。他指出，市場上已經有幾種美元支持的穩定幣，例如 Tether (USDT) 和美元硬幣 (USDC)。

However, Ryan did not specify which stablecoins he would prefer to promote. He is currently a member of venture capital firm Paradigm’s Policy Council. Notably, Tether is the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, with a market cap exceeding $100 billion, according to CoinGecko.

然而，瑞安沒有具體說明他更願意推廣哪種穩定幣。他目前是創投公司 Paradigm 政策委員會的成員。值得注意的是，根據 CoinGecko 的數據，Tether 是市值最大的穩定幣，市值超過 1,000 億美元。

Recently, Tether was reportedly being investigated by Washington and the United Kingdom over more than $20 billion of USDT that passed through Garantex, a sanctioned Russian crypto exchange. In the opinion piece, Ryan also suggested that lawmakers could push for a bipartisan stablecoin regulatory framework ahead of the 2024 election.

據報道，最近，Tether 因透過受制裁的俄羅斯加密貨幣交易所 Garantex 流通的超過 200 億美元 USDT 受到華盛頓和英國的調查。在這篇評論文章中，瑞安還建議立法者可以在 2024 年大選之前推動兩黨穩定幣監管框架。

Several candidates, including leading presidential candidates, have shown interest in the crypto sector in recent months. However, none have been specifically mentioning stablecoins so far.

近幾個月來，包括主要總統候選人在內的幾位候選人對加密貨幣領域表現出了興趣。然而，到目前為止，沒有人具體提及穩定幣。

For instance, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told miners he wants all the remaining Bitcoin to be mined by American miners at an event last week. Meanwhile, incumbent President Joe Biden’s campaign was reportedly in talks with key industry players on "crypto policy."

例如，共和黨總統候選人唐納德·川普在上週的一次活動中告訴礦工，他希望美國礦工開採所有剩餘的比特幣。與此同時，據報道，現任總統喬·拜登的競選團隊正在與主要行業參與者就「加密貨幣政策」進行談判。

While Trump has been more vocal in recent months about his growing support for the digital assets space, it appears the Democratic president is also beginning to recognize the industry’s impact on politics.

儘管川普近幾個月來更加直言不諱地表達了他對數位資產領域日益增長的支持，但這位民主黨總統似乎也開始意識到該行業對政治的影響。
