CLARITY法案投票失败后,Ripple首席执行官打破沉默:XRP的法律地位未变
周二,美国参议院未能推进《数字资产市场清晰法案》(Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act),因未达到将法案提交最终表决所需的60票支持而受挫。Ripple首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯(Brad Garlinghouse)表示,这一挫折令人痛心,但不会改变其公司的既定战略。
加林豪斯称此次投票为错失良机
在投票结束后不久,加林豪斯在X平台上发文指出,他的团队以及行业内的多数参与者已竭尽全力,试图让《CLARITY法案》顺利通过。他强调,这场斗争的意义超越了Ripple一家公司本身。
他认为,真正受损的是消费者以及美国在数字金融领域的竞争力,并宣布将对此次失利进行复盘。在他看来,民主党的政治考量凌驾于良好的政策制定之上。尽管如此,他并未将此视为美国加密货币政策努力的终结。加林豪斯预计,美国证券交易委员会(SEC)和商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)将继续通过制定规则来填补国会留下的空白。他表示,Ripple将继续参与这一过程。
“Ripple的业务从未如此强劲,”他写道,指出了传统金融领域对数字资产的需求。他认为,华盛顿的一次投票失败并不会改变公司的“势头、全球影响力或客户基础。”
Stuart Alderoty, Ripple's chief legal officer, subsequently issued a statement. "Ripple and XRP are based on a solid legal foundation," he said, citing a 2023 federal court ruling that found XRP not to be a securities, and a joint interpretation issued by the SEC and the CFTC in March this year, which identifies XRP as a digital commodity. He also said he expected the two regulators to continue to develop clearer rules in the future.
Industry reactions are mixed
The reactions within the industry are divided. CryptoLaw believes this marks a shift rather than an end in the wind, agreeing that the battle over cryptocurrency regulatory rules has now shifted to the SEC and CFTC. However, analyst ChartNerd is more cautious, pointing out that while institution-making rules is preferable to uncertainty, it is not a substitute for actual legislation, because rules can be overturned at any time.
What was the CLARITY Act originally intended to do?
Tuesday's vote was not intended to pass the CLARITY Act directly, but was a procedural step designed to move the bill closer to a final vote. Its failure means that the debate on relevant legislation will continue, not end.
The bill aims to clarify the division of responsibilities between the CFTC and the SEC in the regulation of digital assets, and introduces the concept of "ancillary assets." The value of such online tokens may depend on the company's efforts, but are still considered a commodity and subject to their own disclosure rules.
In addition, the bill also targets DeFi platforms that are ostensibly decentralized but are actually operated by identifiable people, requiring them to register with the CFTC for spot trading activities. The bill would also establish a new federal registration and supervision system for the exchanges, brokers and dealers that most Americans actually use to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
