Stablecoins Emerge as Cornerstone of US Crypto Regulatory Shift
Washington’s approach to digital assets is undergoing a quiet transformation, with dollar-pegged stablecoins unexpectedly becoming the focal point of legislative discussions. The political landscape has shifted markedly, with former President Trump’s public endorsement of cryptocurrency and growing bipartisan support in Congress creating momentum for the nation’s first comprehensive crypto legislation.
This regulatory evolution was highlighted during a recent TIME100 Talks panel, where industry leaders posited that properly regulated stablecoins could reinforce the US dollar’s supremacy in the digital economy. The discussion centered on how fixed-value digital assets might provide the missing LINK between traditional finance and crypto innovation.
