Didi Steiner: 我认为特朗普政府将为加密货币行业创造积极的监管框架,为银行、家族办公室和养老基金等机构投资加密货币提供更多安全性和清晰度,并可能推动比特币矿业向美国转移。这将增强人们对加密货币的信任,并促进其在金融领域的应用。 Chloe Cornish: 加密货币爱好者对加密货币的长期前景充满信心,即使市场波动剧烈,他们也保持乐观。他们相信自己的投资最终会获得回报,并对当前比特币价格上涨感到兴奋。此外,他们对特朗普当选总统感到非常兴奋,认为这是该行业获得认可的重要时刻,并期待着加密货币行业的黄金时代到来。 Michaela Tendera: 加密货币社区普遍认为特朗普的第二个总统任期将有利于加密货币行业的发展,但同时也存在风险。我们需要了解加密货币行业的需求以及实现这些目标可能带来的风险。 Niku Asghari: 加密货币市场经历了剧烈的波动,在2021年和2022年经历了繁荣,随后FTX的崩溃对市场造成了巨大打击,美国证券交易委员会也对加密货币公司采取了强硬措施。然而,特朗普在竞选期间公开支持加密货币,并承诺将美国打造成“全球加密货币之都”,这使得加密货币行业对他的当选充满期待。特朗普当选后,加密货币市场一片欢腾,比特币价格飙升。加密货币行业对特朗普任命亲加密货币人士担任政府要职感到满意,认为这将有助于改善行业监管环境。然而,特朗普在第一任期内曾将加密货币称为“骗局”,这是一种态度的转变。特朗普对加密货币的支持可能部分源于其与加密货币反建制、反华尔街的理念相符。加密货币行业希望获得更大的合法性,但同时希望监管力度较轻,他们希望SEC更加友好,停止对加密货币公司的诉讼,并希望华尔街银行和资产管理公司能够更多地参与到加密货币市场中。他们还希望美国政府建立战略比特币储备,以及美国监管机构明确界定哪些加密货币是证券,哪些是商品。然而,加密货币融入主流金融体系可能带来系统性风险,如果加密货币价格暴跌,可能会对整个金融体系造成更大的影响。此外,加密货币行业需要加强反洗钱和打击恐怖主义融资等方面的努力,以提高其合法性。特朗普政府可能采取的贸易保护主义政策,例如对墨西哥和中国商品征收高额关税,可能会对美国加密货币矿业产生负面影响。加密货币行业寻求主流地位与该行业最初的反建制理想存在矛盾。
