U.S. Cryptocurrency Policy Needs Breakthrough: Staking and Tokenized Stocks Face Obstacles, Europe Has Taken the Lead

A senior executive at a well-known trading platform pointed out that the United States needs to be more proactive in cryptocurrency regulation. Current legal restrictions make it difficult for domestic platforms to innovate. The Market Structure Reform Act has been delayed due to the withdrawal of support by leading platforms, and there is an urgent need for policy consensus to promote the development of the crypto industry.

【币界】某知名交易平台的高管近日表示，美国需要在加密货币监管上更主动地发挥领导地位。眼下欧洲的加密应用已经相当成熟，反观美国却在不少地方掉队——加州等州的法律限制让本土平台无法提供质押服务，也被挡在代币化股票的门外。这不只是技术问题，更是政策窗口的浪费。

他还提到，业界一直在期待的市场结构改革法案本该推进这些创新，但因为某头部平台临时撤销了支持态度，整个审议进程现在被拖了下来。一个原本能帮美国突破监管瓶颈的机会，就这样被耽误了。看来加密产业要在美国真正腾飞，政策层面的共识和决心都得跟上才行。

Is the US really that behind? Europe has already taken off, and you're still holding it back. A major platform suddenly withdraws support—this is going to be such a disgrace...

The US is really falling behind; Europe has already taken the lead, and we're still dawdling. Some leading platforms are really untrustworthy, dropping the ball at critical moments. Regulation should be straightforward; there's no need to make it so complicated. Staking and tokenization are both stuck, and platforms have no way to vent their frustrations. The window period is gone in the blink of an eye, and by then, it's too late to regret. It seems that the biggest enemy in the US is ourselves... Europe has already moved forward, and we're still standing still—truly remarkable. Why is it so difficult to pass a bill? Political games seem endless.

It's the same old script in the US, with regulators bickering every day... Europe has already made staking and tokenization vibrant and lively, while we are still stuck in place. Truly frustrating. Top platforms suddenly change their stance? That's just ridiculous, dropping the ball at critical moments. Instead of waiting for policies, it's better to find ways to break through on your own... The US's window of opportunity is being wasted one after another. At this rate, how long will it take to catch up with Europe?

Europe is already competing fiercely, while the US is still bickering, which is really outrageous. This move by a major exchange is brilliant—immediately pulling out when asked, causing the entire bill to be shelved. The US really needs to wake up; if they keep going like this, they'll be completely left behind. This is the cost of politicization—what should be simple has been artificially complicated. They can't even handle basic things like staking and tokenization of stocks, how do they expect to compete? Honestly, a change in attitude from a leading platform can kill the entire bill progress; the core issue isn't technical. California's restrictions really need to be revised; otherwise, domestic platforms will always fall behind in the race. Missing the window period means starting five years behind; it's nerve-wracking. The US loves to be the armchair strategist afterward—regretting only after Europe has fully surpassed them.

Things are really sluggish here in the US. Europe has already taken off, but we're still standing still. The leading platform suddenly changed its stance, this move is brilliant... It's both policies and platforms—who's to blame here? There are no staking services at all, how can we compete with Europe? Where's the promised reform bill? It was gone before we even got to see it.
