Trump, stablecoins and Crypto
Digest more
Republican House leaders anticipate passing an industry-friendly stablecoin regulatory bill this week, sending Congress’s first major digital assets legislation to the president and kicking off a series of votes on related measures that supporters have dubbed “Crypto Week.
The SEC chairman called the stablecoin legislation a “historic step” in making the US the crypto capital of the world. The bill, which sets regulatory rules for dollar-backed stablecoins, would require firms to hold dollar-for-dollar reserves in short-term government debt or similar products overseen by state or federal regulators.
