Less Regulations Coming!

@zasad@. You should teach your partner to use bridges because this does not matter anymore if your stablecoins are on Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum layer1, Solana, Tron and many others. The bridges can very straightforwardly send the stablecoins on Base from your partner's wallet to Arbitrum to the Chinaman's wallet.

It is not so easy to teach a person to use DeFi ecosystems and many do not want to learn it. Sometimes it's easier to pay along with it and forget about it.
I have no problem transferring stablecoins from one ecosystem to another, the main point of my message was that what is very popular in the US is not used at all in China.
The Chinese often offer the Tron ecosystem, but due to large commissions they have already begun to offer several L2 Ethereum to choose from.

News update on the Clarity act!

It appears that we are becoming closer to this very important bill for the future of the cryptospace! There will be no more regulations through enforcement and no more anticrypto officials similar to uncle Gary of the Biden administration!

However, this is very much early. We should begin to celebrate when the bill is on the desk of the Donald and has been signed already!



Bitcoin hits $82,000, Coinbase leads crypto stock gains as Clarity Act advances

Crypto markets climbed Thursday as the Senate Banking Committee advanced the long-awaited digital asset market structure bill known as the Clarity Act, a key step toward broader federal regulation of the industry.

The bill cleared the committee in a 15-9 vote, with support from two Democratic senators, allowing it to move forward to the full Senate.

I think Trump will sign the bill.
Banks and crypto companies have reached a compromise:
Passive income from holding stablecoins in the US is being banned.
Crypto companies could offer rewards for activity, such as using stablecoins or performing transactions.
It will be interesting to see the final version of the bill.

Yeah, it will be really interesting. Now that the bill progresses to the senate, we are about to witness intense lobbying that will ultimately determine the fate of the bill. However, things now look a little bit optimistic, though there are still certain aspects of the bill that is still under contention, i.e.:

Democratic members of the Banking Committee have demanded that CLARITY must include ethics provisions that restrict government officials from engaging in cryptoasset activity that poses conflicts of interest, a concern driven primarily by the business activities of President Donald Trumpt's family with cryptoassets.

This is also expected to be brought up later and could be added for this bill to pass. Fingers crossed on what will happen in the next few months.

I don't think Trump's potential profits from cryptocurrencies are a major issue in the bill's passage. Trump's statements could cause panic in global markets or could lead to price increases.

Major American politicians are indeed showing abnormally high returns in stock trading. Hehe In America, this is normal practice.

I think that these proposals are another political lever against Trump to negotiate other concessions from him.
