Fed Official Advocates for Stablecoin Regulatory Framework

The U.S. Federal Reserve, through official Musallem, has acknowledged stablecoins as a major innovation in payments, calling for a regulatory framework on July 10. The call adds momentum to existing legislative efforts in the U.S.

As stablecoins integrate further into financial systems, their need for regulation becomes evident. This aligns with recent legislative initiatives focusing on oversight.

Stablecoin Growth Spurs Need for U.S. Oversight

The discussion surrounding stablecoins’ role as payment innovations gained traction following U.S. Federal Reserve official Musallem’s comments. The recognition aligns with proposed legislation like the GENIUS Act initiated by Senator Bill Haggerty.

Stablecoins’ growing prominence in payment systems necessitates a solid regulatory framework. The GENIUS and STABLE Acts aim to establish this, enhancing oversight and encouraging institutional engagement.

“From enhancing transaction efficiency to driving demand for U.S. Treasuries, the potential benefits of strong stablecoin innovation are immense. My legislation establishes a safe and pro-growth regulatory framework that will unleash innovation…” — Bill Haggerty, U.S. Senator (R-Tenn.)
