#USStablecoinBill
Here’s a quick overview of the current legislative landscape in the U.S. and globally regarding stablecoins:
1. U.S. Stablecoin Legislation (as of 2024–2025)
The U.S. House Financial Services Committee has proposed several bills to regulate stablecoins, with the goal of ensuring consumer protection, reserve backing, and oversight. One prominent bill is the “Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act”, which:
Requires stablecoin issuers to maintain 1:1 reserves in high-quality liquid assets.
Gives federal and state regulators more authority to supervise issuers.
Has faced debate over whether it allows too much room for risk—hence some critics jokingly call it the "Unstable Coin Bill."
2. Concerns with the Bill
Critics (especially Democrats in the U.S.) argue that the bill:
May not provide enough consumer protection.
Could allow state-chartered firms to issue stablecoins without sufficient federal oversight.
Might not adequately prevent the collapse of algorithmic stablecoins like TerraUSD (which infamously crashed in 2022).
3. International Trends
Other regions like the EU (with MiCA) and UK (with the Financial Services and Markets Act) are also rolling out stablecoin regulations with varying levels of strictness.
