Kelompok kepentingan anti-DeFi meluncurkan iklan di AS untuk mendesak legislasi, kontroversi pengaturan stablecoin meningkat

【Block Rhythm】The recent cryptocurrency regulatory trends in the United States have stirred up some waves again. On January 10th, an organization called “Investors For Transparency” placed an advertisement on Fox News, directly calling on the public to pressure their state senators to push for cryptocurrency market structure legislation, with the prerequisite that it cannot include DeFi-related clauses.

From the screenshots shared by crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, the wording of this advertisement is quite interesting—“Tell your senator: Pass crypto legislation without DeFi provisions,” and helpfully included a hotline number for people to directly contact their senators’ offices. Another sentence in the advertisement is even more straightforward: “Don’t let DeFi block innovation.”

The logic behind it actually reflects the core concerns of traditional finance circles. The focus this time is on the “CLARITY Act (Clarity Act)”. What banking lobby groups are worried about is that if this bill passes, stablecoin issuers may be allowed to offer interest-bearing products, which would look much like bank deposits and would directly impact the traditional banking system. The U.S. Treasury Department made a calculation in its April assessment this year—if stablecoins are widely adopted, the traditional banking system could lose up to 6.6 trillion dollars in deposits. That number is indeed scary.

The timing is also very sensitive. While the advertisement was being placed, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee has already announced its schedule—this Thursday (January 15th) at 10 a.m. (Eastern Time), the committee will conduct revision review of the “CLARITY Act”. This makes the entire event feel more urgent.

The Web3 community reacted fiercely. Hayden Adams, CEO of Uniswap Labs, fired back directly: This organization opposes DeFi while remaining silent about its own members and sources of funding—such behavior is “both ironic and unsurprising.” The implication is very clear—everyone knows who is supporting this movement behind the scenes.
