Three Stablecoin Bills Under Review

In the past week, at least three stablecoin bills have been introduced in the U.S. House and Senate. These proposals aim to establish clearer rules for stablecoin issuers:

• The STABLE Act, introduced by Congressman Bryan Steil and senior lawmaker French Hill, seeks to create a stablecoin regulatory framework with bipartisan support. The bill is currently under review.
• The GENIUS Act, proposed by Senator Bill Hagerty, calls for federal oversight of payment stablecoins while allowing states to retain some control. This bill has also gained bipartisan backing.
• Maxine Waters’ Stablecoin Bill would require issuers to register and maintain one-to-one reserves backed by U.S. dollars or approved assets, ensuring stability and consumer protection.

Reports suggest that lawmakers aim to finalize these bills by April, setting the stage for a more structured stablecoin market in the U.S.

Tether’s Role in Shaping Regulations

As stablecoin regulations move forward, Tether is making sure it plays an active role in the discussions. While the company remains committed to compliance, it is also advocating for its interests in shaping policies that will impact the broader crypto industry.

With new regulations on the horizon, the coming months will be crucial for stablecoin issuers and the wider cryptocurrency market.
