▌Former Vice Governor of the Central Bank: The U.S.-led crypto asset hegemony strategy poses multiple threats to financial security
Golden Finance Report, on February 22, 2025, the academic annual meeting on digital economy development and governance was held at Nankai University. Chen Yulu, former vice president of the People's Bank of China and president of Nankai University, delivered a keynote speech on the topic of "The Rise and Challenge of Cryptocurrencies". Chen Yulu said that the U.S.-led crypto assets hegemony strategy poses multiple threats to my country's financial security. First, capital outflows and exchange rate pressure. The long-term appreciation trend of crypto assets represented by Bitcoin against international currencies such as the US dollar, as well as the rapid expansion of the transaction scale of US dollar stablecoin, has further strengthened the dominance of the US dollar in the global monetary system through cross-border payment convenience and value storage functions, which will undoubtedly squeeze the RMB's valuation and internationalization space. In addition, the US dollar-dominated encryption channel has become a new path for capital flight. In recent years, the wave of large-scale financing of leading American companies in Bitcoin and on-site cryptocurrency ETFs has produced a strong "demonstration effect", which may attract some capital to flow out through gray channels. Second, DeFi regulatory arbitrage has formed cumulative industrial competitive advantages. The relatively loose regulation and taxation of the United States has attracted the inflow of global DeFi innovation resources, and thus gained more full-chain technical dividends from the underlying standards to the application layer. After a long-term accumulation, it will form a competitive advantage over my country's digital financial infrastructure technology in the future. The third is the competition for underlying technical standards and innovation capabilities resources. On the one hand, the United States is currently in a dominant position in innovation in fields such as ZKP and Layer2, and the EU is also gaining the network effect of a unified market after integrating supervision through MiCA, and setting up technical barriers. my country needs to be vigilant and prevent the risk of falling behind the crypto asset industry standard setting. On the other hand, my country is facing pressure to relocate innovation resources in the blockchain industry: the carbon emissions of the EU's crypto industry and tax incentives for mining companies and blockchain venture capital companies have a tendency to transfer to Central Asia, the Middle East and the United States, which is objectively unfavorable to the innovation capabilities and computing power security of the blockchain industry. Fourth, the threat of US crypto assets hegemony. First of all, the United States is accelerating the gradual inclusion of mainstream cryptocurrency assets into its financial hegemony system. Once this trend is established, it will inevitably squeeze the strategic development space of my country in the field of digital finance in the future. Secondly, after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States, together with the United Kingdom, the UAE and other countries, imposed large-scale long-arm financial sanctions on Russia, institutions and individuals in the field of cryptocurrency, seized and confiscated a large number of cryptocurrency assets, and arrested relevant practitioners. The power of its digital financial hegemony is initially emerging. at lastTrump's promotion of Bitcoin strategic reserve plan and boycott of foreign sovereign digital currencies has also intensified the confrontation between China and the United States in the field of digital currency. Of course, crypto assets represented by Bitcoin have now shown a serious market bubble state, and the continued appreciation is unsustainable. Once the bubble bursts, it will be a huge blow to the US crypto asset hegemony strategy. In this regard, we must maintain a clear understanding and strategic determination, adhere to the value concept of financial services to the real economy, and firmly follow the path of a distinctive financial power.
