Bill Discussion H.R. 64: America Regulates Cryptocurrency Act

0 Upvotes

A BILL

To regulate the exchange of cryptocurrency.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,


Section I. SHORT TITLE

(a) Short Title.—This Act may be cited as the “America Regulates Cryptocurrency Act”

Section II. FINDINGS

Congress finds that—

(a) Cryptocurrency represents a return to the early American system of private currency exchanges backed by no state.

(b) This lack of backing by a state, if adopted for any sort of wide use, could be as disastrous as past financial disasters including the Panic of 1837.

(c) The United States is uniquely economically weak at this point in time, still struggling to recover from the Great Recession thirteen years ago and the recession caused by the pandemic one year ago.

(d) Another major economic failure could cause the United States to slip behind the People’s Republic of China in our economic and diplomatic power through our own inaction.

(e) Bitcoin’s meteoric rise in value over the past decade leaves it vulnerable to a Gamestop-style scheme to create profit for one firm at the expense of the economy, further exacerbated by the lack of a regulatory body for exchange.

(f) Cryptocurrency’s position as a stand-in for fiat currency means its mining, by most measures, does not contribute to the GDP.

(g) Mining of cryptocurrency has caused market shortages in Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) and, more broadly, computer chips, harming the economy as a whole.

Section III. DEFINITIONS

In this Act:

(1) COMMISSION.—The term “Commission” means the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2) CRYPTOCURRENCY.—The term “Cryptocurrency” means a synthetic digital currency built upon blockchain technology and/or decentralized cryptographic ledger(s).

(ii) This regulation shall not restrict the sale of any GPUs which have been available to consumers for more than three (3) years.

(c) Any firm which generates more than $50,000 per year in cryptocurrency mining must register as a Mining Firm with the Department.

(i) The value generated is the number of units of currency mined multiplied by value of the currency on April 15th of that year.

(ii) Any firm which fails to register with the Department by April 15th of the following year shall be fined no less than $50,000 + one quarter the value generated.

(d) The commission shall be free to implement any regulations on the mining of cryptocurrencies that follow the following restrictions:

(i) The market cap of the cryptocurrency is more than $10,000,000, and;

(ii) The regulation is based on limiting clear and excessive damage to the economy, or;

(iii) The regulation is based on limiting carbon emissions by decreasing the energy consumption of mining.

Section V. EXCHANGE REGULATION

(iii) This will not apply to any exchange which processes less than $250,000 per year.

(b) Exchanges shall have a 1-day holding period before any transaction may be made.

(c) Exchanges shall be subject to oversight by the Commission.

(d) The Commission may provide regulation on Exchanges with the following principles:

(i) To lessen an ongoing financial crisis;

(ii) To last no more than one (1) year;

(iii) Provide no undue burden on the processing of transactions.

Section VI. AMENDING PAST DEFINITIONS

(a) 31 U.S. Code § 3104(a) shall be given a new subsection reading:

(3) Cryptocurrency.

Section VII. ENACTMENT & TIMELINE

(a) This bill shall go into effect, after the signature of the President in 121 days.

The federal government shall withhold all funding from any university maintaining a safe space on its campus.
