ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, former New York Fed Chairman Bill Dudley stated that if the Trump administration truly wants to support the emerging cryptocurrency industry, it should establish a set of laws and regulations to allow it to develop and operate safely. For example, ensuring that stablecoins are fully backed by Federal Reserve deposits or short-term Treasury bills. Legislation should define whether tokens are currencies or securities, and who will regulate them. Rules should be established to protect consumers and prohibit their use in criminal activities such as financing terrorism or illegal drug sales.Cryptographic technology has the potential to improve the financial system— for example, making it easier and cheaper for people to trade financial assets, or enabling immigrants to send money back to their families more easily. However, without strong safeguards, fraud and abuse will persist, undermining the trust needed to establish these benefits.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, former New York Fed Chairman Bill Dudley stated that since Trump won the U.S. presidential election, the price of Bitcoin has risen by over 40%, partly because people hope he will support the establishment of a government reserve for this cryptocurrency. He supported this idea during his campaign, and legislators who back cryptocurrencies have also proposed ways to achieve this goal. It is hard to imagine what benefits this would bring to most Americans.However, what benefits would establishing a Bitcoin reserve have for the government or for those who do not hold Bitcoin? None. There is no exit strategy, so its purpose is to drive up inflation rather than create value for the government— the government would be forced to hold volatile tokens that generate no income. To provide purchasing funds, the Treasury must either borrow (thereby increasing debt service costs) or the Federal Reserve must create money (thereby exacerbating inflation). The latter is almost indistinguishable from the Federal Reserve monetizing U.S. government debt (similarly, directing the Federal Reserve to use the government's gold reserves according to congressional legislative proposals would be the same).
