杨安泽希望加强区块链监管，获得数字加密货币行业的支持

有一位民主党总统候选人得到了加密界的支持。

创业家杨安泽（Andrew Yang）宣布作为民主党候选人参加2020年美国总统大选，他最近推出了一个数字资产平台，表示希望能在加密货币领域及其基础区块链技术看到更多更好的监管制度，他认为这有助于推动创新。

“我认为区块链需要在我们的未来中扮演更重要的角色。”杨安泽在纽约的一次共识会议上进行了主旨发言，他向满满一屋的观众表示：“如果我入主白宫，天啊，到时我们一定能从加密货币界制造点乐趣。”

杨安泽发布了一个基本的监管框架后，加密社区接受了杨安泽，他在该框架中呼吁要明确对令牌的定义以及税收规则。他还倡议要明确哪些机构具备监管能力等等。

“我们只需要提供交通规则，”杨安泽在会议间隙接受采访时说，“我们需要弄清楚哪个机构会和各种货币打交道。如果每次有新货币出现，我们都要重新决定采用哪种框架，这种做法很不妥。”他还并补充说，他的平台对消费者的保护差不多可以以现有的安全法律为基础。

杨安泽说，他并不直接拥有任何加密货币，但投资了至少一种拥有一定资产的工具。他的竞选活动接受加密货币捐款。

这位异军突起的新候选人最出名的是他对普及基本收入的态度，他认为应保证18岁及以上的公民每月有1000美元的收入，以缓解新技术和自动化造成的失业潮，避开另一场危机。

美国总统候选人之争日益激烈，这位低调的候选人却声势渐长。随着杨安泽在全美国各地进行巡回，他的线上粉丝在过去的两个月里大涨。他的身影不断出现在媒体报道中，帮助他提升了选情，大热的乔·罗根播客也对他进行了采访。杨安泽最近宣布，他已经跨过了民主党全国委员会要求的65000名捐助者门槛，有权参加第一轮辩论。（财富中文网）

There’s one Democratic presidential candidate who’s got the back of the crypto community.

Andrew Yang, an entrepreneur who is running as a Democrat in the 2020 presidential race and who recently unveiled a digital-asset platform, said he’d like to see greater regulatory frameworks for the community and its underlying blockchain technology, which he thinks could help spur new innovation.

“I believe that blockchain needs to be a big part of our future,” Yang told a crowded room at the Consensus conference in New York, where he gave a keynote address Wednesday. “If I’m in the White House, oh boy are we going to have some fun in terms of the crypto currency community.”

The crypto community embraced Yang after he published a bare framework for regulation, in which he calls for clear token definitions and tax rules. He is also advocating for clarity over which agencies have regulatory capabilities, among other things.

“We just need to provide rules of the road,” Yang said in an interview on the sidelines of the conference. “We need to figure out which agency is going to be interacting with individual currencies. It would be unfortunate if every time a new currency comes out we then have to decide which framework applies,” adding that the consumer protection aspect of his platform could loosely be based on existing security law.

Yang does not directly own any cryptocurrencies but invests in at least one vehicle that has some holdings, he said. His campaign accepts crypto donations.

The upstart candidate is best known for his stance on universal basic income, a guaranteed $1,000 per month for citizens 18 and older, in an attempt to cushion the blow of job losses due to new technologies and automation, and to stave off another crisis.

The under-the-radar candidate has been gaining steam in an increasingly crowded field of contenders. Yang’s online following has boomed over the past two months as he’s made his rounds around the country. His bid is bolstered by his perpetual media appearances, including on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast. He announced recently that’s he’s crossed the Democratic National Committee’s threshold of 65,000 donors to participate in the first debates.
