Top FSC Democrat Says Stablecoin Bill Is Imminent
Representative Maxine Waters, the top Democrat on the Financial Services Committee, has expressed optimism about reaching a deal on stablecoin regulation in the near future.
After 22 months of negotiations, she and Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry are close to finalizing a stablecoin bill.
Waters emphasized the importance of protecting investors and ensuring stablecoin issuers have sufficient assets to back their digital tokens.
The potential federal regulation of stablecoins could lend legitimacy to the asset class, potentially leading to broader adoption and increased investor confidence.
In addition to stablecoin regulation, Waters expressed her support for a marijuana banking bill that has recently advanced through the Senate Banking Committee.
