美國共和黨議員稱今年加密貨幣立法尚未排除

眾議員 Patrick McHenry 和參議員 Cynthia Lummis 表示，他們仍在 11 月選舉後的「跛腳鴨」會議上爭取加密貨幣立法行動。

Two of the leading U.S. lawmakers seeking crypto oversight legislation, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) and Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), said Tuesday they still see a chance for a bill to clear Congress before the year is out.

尋求加密貨幣監管立法的兩位美國主要立法者，眾議員帕特里克·麥克亨利（RN.C.）和參議員辛西婭·盧米斯（懷俄明州共和黨）週二表示，他們仍然認為一項法案有機會在今年之前獲得國會通過。

That long-odds scenario would require some delicate maneuvering to get crypto matters attached to must-move legislation in the so-called lame-duck session of Congress after the elections but before the new members arrive for next year's session.

這種可能性很大的情況需要一些微妙的操作，以便在選舉後、新成員到達參加明年會議之前的所謂「跛腳鴨」國會會議上將加密貨幣問題與必須採取的立法聯繫起來。

"I really do think we're going to get something done in the lame duck," Lummis said at an event hosted by Georgetown University's Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy. She said an effort still being pushed at the Senate Agricultural Committee could win a bipartisan handshake, then get amended in late-year negotiations to add other necessary details.

魯米斯在喬治城大學普羅羅斯金融市場與政策中心主辦的一次活動上表示：“我確實認為我們將在跛腳鴨身上取得一些成果。”她表示，參議院農業委員會仍在推動的一項努力可能會贏得兩黨的握手，然後在年底的談判中進行修改，以添加其他必要的細節。

If the pursuit of wide-ranging U.S. regulation is delayed into the next congressional session, it'll probably be further pushed into late 2025, Lummis said. "We just can't wait anymore," she said. "Europe is way ahead of us."

Lummis 表示，如果美國推行廣泛監管的計畫被推遲到下屆國會會議，那麼可能會進一步推遲到 2025 年末。 「我們不能再等了，」她說。 “歐洲遠遠領先我們。”

McHenry, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee who is set to retire after this session, led the strongest crypto legislative effort to date when he got a comprehensive digital assets bill through the House of Representatives this year. He said that effort – backed by 71 House Democrats, including several of the party's leaders – showed "substantial momentum" for a crypto bill.

眾議院金融服務委員會主席麥克亨利將於本次會議後退休，今年他在眾議院通過了一項全面的數位資產法案，領導了迄今為止最強有力的加密立法努力。他表示，這項努力得到了 71 名眾議院民主黨議員（包括該黨幾位領導人）的支持，顯示出加密貨幣法案的「巨大動力」。

He said legislation would probably have to be linked to a spending package that needs congressional approval this year. But he acknowledged that it might not work.

他表示，立法可能必須與今年需要國會批准的支出計畫掛鉤。但他承認這可能行不通。

"There are seeds that you plant that may not grow in your timeframe," McHenry said, adding that the crypto sector now has "policy footprints that I've left in the sand" if the debate drags into another session. "Somebody else's name may be on it when it's signed into law."

麥克亨利說：「你種下的一些種子可能不會在你的時間範圍內生長。」他補充說，如果辯論拖到另一場會議，加密貨幣行業現在就會有「我在沙子裡留下的政策足跡」。 “當它簽署成為法律時，可能會有其他人的名字。”

Lummis also reiterated her view that the U.S. should start building a Bitcoin strategic reserve with a four-year buying program that she argues will turn into trillions in value in 20 years of holding onto the cryptocurrency (BTC).

Lummis 也重申了她的觀點，即美國應該開始透過為期四年的購買計劃建立比特幣戰略儲備，她認為持有加密貨幣 (BTC) 的 20 年內將變成數萬億美元的價值。
