The turbulent regulatory environment surrounding the stablecoin bill in the U.S. Congress reflects a major challenge for the ecosystem as uncertainty around compliance with anti-money laundering and investor information security requirements causes investors to take a step back to reduce risks, and product innovation is halted or delayed because any company wishing to launch a stablecoin needs a clear legal environment to plan for governance and liquidity. Secondly, user adoption decreases as many people won't try a new service if they are not sure whether their funds will be subject to bans or intense scrutiny; market-wide trust is affected because users are left wondering if this digital currency is sufficiently secured. Will the regulatory body support it or crack down on it?

Moreover, companies must implement best practices in KYC and due diligence to prove to lawmakers that this technology is not chaotic and is a tool to enhance financial inclusion and accelerate cross-border payments. In the long run, the continuation of uncertainty will push innovation to other countries that regulate quickly, such as the European Union or Asia, which could cause the U.S. to lose its leadership in the DeFi and digital financial services arena. To restore trust and stimulate innovation, we need flexible regulations in the form of a legislative sandbox with transparent mechanisms closely linking the public and private sectors, ensuring the innovative integration of stablecoins into the formal economy.
