There are many countries in the world like Russia, praying that the U.S. Clear Bill will be delayed and fail to pass, so that Bitcoin can continue to maintain and further improve its status as a futures currency, strengthen the basic infrastructure for settlement on the Ethereum main chain, and open up a settlement system for the world outside of the U.S. dollar, thereby getting around U.S. sanctions and restrictions. In this regard, sanctioned countries such as Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, and others all have this urgent need. This is precisely the main reason that has prompted the United States to have to pass the Clear Bill.

Actually, the content of the U.S.-Russia Clear Bill is enough to prove this. The U.S.-Russia “Clear Bill” is completely different: one is for maintaining power and stability, and the other is for survival in dire straits.

Many people mistakenly think that the “clear bills” on crypto that the U.S. and Russia have rolled out one after another are the same set of modernized financial compliance frameworks—just at different stages in different countries.

This is a gross misreading.

Although the two bills have similar names, consistent themes, and both attempt to regulate cryptocurrencies through legislation, their underlying logic, political objectives, national stances, and the final outcome are completely at odds.

Russia’s clear bill is a survival battle to break through sanctions.

As mentioned earlier, since its inception, the U.S. (clear bill) has had absolutely no suspense about whether it would pass.

So the U.S.’ core demands are extremely pure:

Force Bitcoin from a “challenger to super-sovereign currency” to a “digital speculative product denominated in the U.S. dollar.”

That’s why the U.S. bill expands from 60 pages to hundreds, literally bulging out:

In the U.S. crypto legislation, regulation is a sham; maintaining stability is the real aim—splitting the spoils is the substance.

Russia’s crypto bill has none of the U.S.’ indulgence or self-importance.

For Russia, cryptocurrency is not a threat—it is the only tool for a financial breakout.

Restrict citizens’ speculation while allowing cross-border settlement by businesses.

The core rules of Russia’s clear bill are very straightforward, and they exist entirely to serve national survival:

2. It legally allows companies and institutions to use crypto assets for cross-border settlement, bypassing SWIFT sanctions and bypassing dollar sanctions, and opening up international trade channels;

If the U.S. bill is about “preventing subversion,” then Russia’s bill is about “seeking to break the deadlock.”

This is the most lethal—and most fundamental—difference between the two bills.

It will absolutely not allow any decentralized assets to have capabilities for pricing, reserves, circulation, or settlement. Once they have the attributes of money, they become the enemy of the dollar and the enemy of America’s ruling class. That’s why it must lock them down through legislation, define them as goods, define them as securities—so they can never be defined as money.

Russia: deliberately preserve and proactively use the monetary attributes of crypto.

For Russia, crypto’s “no borders” is a lifeline under sanctions.

One letter makes all the difference.

IV. The ultimate contrast in the political landscape: a performance, and a self-rescue

U.S. legislation is an inward-conflict performance.

The bill is bloated, the process is cumbersome, the public debate is noisy, and the politicians are hypocritical. Public interest is crushed by private gain; pragmatists are pushed to the margins, while performers are crowned as gods.

Russia’s legislation is a focused self-rescue.

A single goal, a clear path, serving national strategy: stabilize from within, break out from without.

U.S. politics is for elections and for利益.

Two clear bills from the U.S. and Russia, put together, are the ultimate script for the future of the global crypto world.

It doesn’t allow anyone to undermine the dollar order. So it wants to put a tight yoke on the world’s cryptocurrencies—taming this financial revolution into a financial tool it can harvest from.

Russia stands at the edge of order, using loopholes in the rules, embracing revolution, and tearing open a gap.

When people read Russia’s bill, what they see is calmness, restraint, and survival in an absolute dead end.

U.S. legislation is to preserve the old world.

This is the clearest—yet most brutal—truth of the era behind the two “clear bills.”
