Pro-cryptocurrency Democrats withdraw their support for the stablecoin bill at the last minute:

A group of U.S. Democratic senators known for their support of the cryptocurrency industry have stated that they will oppose a stablecoin bill led by Republicans if it moves forward in its current form.

The measure threatens to stall legislation that could establish the first regulatory framework in the U.S. for stablecoins, according to a May 3 report from Politico.

According to the report, nine Senate Democrats said in a joint statement that the bill "still has numerous issues that need to be addressed." They warned that they would not support a procedural vote to advance the legislation unless changes are made.

Among the signatories were Senators Rubén Gallego, Mark Warner, Lisa Blunt Rochester, and Andy Kim, all of whom had previously supported the bill when it passed through the Senate Banking Committee in March.

The bill, introduced by Senator Bill Hagerty, is formally known as the Guidance and Establishment of U.S. National Innovation for Stablecoins Act (GENIUS).
