Give Biden administration bureaucrats <\/a>and power brokers\u00a0<\/strong>credit for something: They recognize a looming threat to their comfortable\u00a0status quo\u00a0when they see one. Accordingly, they have launched a multi-agency effort coordinated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to purge digital asset companies from the American economy.<\/p>\n

With Republicans now in control of the House, that sets up a\u00a0March 9\u00a0showdown, when the House Financial Services Committee\u2019s Digital Assets Subcommittee convenes a\u00a0hearing\u00a0called “Coincidence or Coordinated? The Administration\u2019s Attack on the Digital Asset Ecosystem.”<\/p>\n

The traditional centralized monetary system<\/a>, as we know it in the United States, is tightly regulated by the federal government, which controls all facets of the system, including printing and minting physical currency and coordinating transactions with financial institutions. Adjustments to how the system operates can be made by unelected government bureaucrats, potentially with little-to-no public notice.<\/p>\n

Under the decentralized mode of digital assets, no central authority is required. Bitcoin, for example, uses open-source software that allows the code to be maintained by a consensus of its users. Modifications and improvements can be made if a sufficient number of users agree \u2013 and this is a crucially important difference \u2013 with a centralized system, any changes would be transparent.<\/p>\n

HOUSE REPUBLICANS LAUNCHING DIGITAL ASSET SUBCOMMITTEE AFTER TROUBLED YEAR FOR CRYPTOCURRENCY INDUSTRY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The decentralized nature of digital assets<\/a> can only be viewed as a threat to those who favor expanding the size and role of government because digital assets act as free-market safeguards against abuses within centralized monetary systems. For example, the Biden administration cranked government currency printing presses into overdrive, enabling more government spending and sending America\u2019s economy tumbling into an era of hyper-inflation. That scenario would be much less possible under a transparent, decentralized system.<\/p>\n

Another key differentiating feature in many digital assets is that they\u2019re resistant to “financial censorship,” a term that refers to the suppression of certain spending, canceling transactions or freezing monetary assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Typically, financial censorship would be done by the government, but increasingly, we\u2019re seeing this done by banks and payment card companies at the direction of government regulators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Biden administration, for example, has revived the Obama administration\u2019s “Operation Chokepoint,” to pressure banks and card companies to refuse doing business with legally operating firearms manufacturers and vendors.<\/p>\n

Now, in what\u2019s being called “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” Biden\u2019s regulators are trying to remove a political thorn, taking aim directly at digital assets with the apparent objective of debanking them.<\/p>\n

In January, the SEC sent a letter<\/a> threatening Paxos with legal action,\u00a0asserting\u00a0that its BUSD stablecoin offering “is a security and that Paxos should have registered the offering of BUSD under the federal securities laws.” Paxos announced that it will stop minting the stablecoin, yet refuted the SEC\u2019s assertion that its stablecoin is a security.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In February, the SEC ordered\u00a0Kraken to shutter its Ethereum\u00a0staking\u00a0service, which industry experts view as an essential piece of the digital asset ecosystem. Industry analysts view these moves as merely the opening salvos.<\/p>\n

The fixation with regulating the life out of decentralized currencies like Bitcoin <\/a>is driven by the Biden administration\u2019s centralized, Big Government approach to government, which views innovations beyond its ability to control with contempt. The situation isn\u2019t too dissimilar to that of the Chinese Communist Party which, having concluded it couldn\u2019t control digital assets outright,\u00a0banned them in 2021.<\/p>\n

While not without their own risks \u2013 market volatility and potential hacking of managing firms \u2013 digital assets<\/a> offer Americans a new avenue to access and build prosperity for themselves.<\/p>\n

The Digital Assets Subcommittee hearing should make it clear that in America, the land of the free, it should be up to the individual and not the government to decide whether and how to invest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
