Senate Stablecoin Bill Gains Traction—Here’s What’s in the New Draft
Washington finally moves the needle on crypto regulation—just as Wall Street starts eyeing stablecoins for their own profit pipelines.
Key provisions in the draft:
- Federal oversight claws back power from states, putting the Fed in charge of non-bank issuers
- Reserve requirements get teeth: 100% backing with cash or Treasuries (sorry, ’algorithmic stablecoin’ gamblers)
- Two-year moratorium on Terra-style ’stable’ coins that aren’t actually stable
Of course, the bill still lets banks hoard the real prize—acting as issuers while keeping decentralized players on a tight leash. Because nothing says ’innovation’ like protecting legacy financial intermediaries.
