Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted the importance of electing pro-crypto candidates to overcome legislative gridlock and ensure the industry’s growth.

Coinbase 首席执行官 Brian Armstrong 强调了选举支持加密货币的候选人对于克服立法僵局并确保行业增长的重要性。

“For a bill to become law in the US, it must pass the House, Senate, and be signed into law by the President. And in our divided government, the default is that nothing will happen unless the cost of inaction is greater than doing the right thing. This leads us to an important conclusion: The best way to get regulatory clarity in democratic countries is to elect pro-crypto candidates on both sides of the aisle and to vote anti-crypto candidates out of office,” Armstrong said.

“法案要在美国成为法律，必须通过众议院、参议院，并由总统签署成为法律。在我们分裂的政府中，默认情况是，除非不作为的成本大于做正确的事情的成本，否则什么都不会发生。这使我们得出一个重要的结论：在民主国家获得监管清晰度的最佳方法是在两党中选出支持加密货币的候选人，并投票让反对加密货币的候选人下台。”阿姆斯特朗说。

Coinbase, Ripple, and venture capital firm a16z are among the crypto industry donors to Fairshake. Other donors include Gemini’s Winklevoss twins, Jump Crypto, and Union Square Ventures.

Crypto firms and key industry figures emphasize supporting pro-crypto candidates in the November elections. This move is crucial, given the Biden administration’s stringent approach toward the crypto industry.

加密货币公司和主要行业人士强调在 11 月的选举中支持支持加密货币的候选人。鉴于拜登政府对加密行业的严格态度，此举至关重要。

Recently, Biden vetoed H.J. Res.109, a bill that would have overturned the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (SAB 121).

最近，拜登否决了 HJ Res.109，该法案将推翻 SEC 第 121 号员工会计公告 (SAB 121)。

“My Administration will not support measures that jeopardize the well-being of consumers and investors. Appropriate guardrails that protect consumers and investors are necessary to harness the potential benefits and opportunities of crypto-asset innovation,” Biden said on May 31.

“我的政府不会支持危害消费者和投资者福祉的措施。为了利用加密资产创新的潜在好处和机会，有必要采取适当的措施来保护消费者和投资者。”拜登于 5 月 31 日表示。

SAB 121 requires financial institutions to list customers’ digital assets on their balance sheets. Critics argue this mandate creates substantial operational and financial burdens for firms handling cryptocurrencies and exposes customers’ assets to risks in bankruptcy situations.

SAB 121 要求金融机构在其资产负债表上列出客户的数字资产。批评者认为，这一授权给处理加密货币的公司带来了巨大的运营和财务负担，并使客户的资产在破产情况下面临风险。
