With regulators cracking down on stablecoins in the US, a new draft bill proposes regulating payment stablecoins separately from digital asset platforms.
Republican lawmakers with the United States House Financial Services Committee have released a draft of a bill focused on payment stablecoins rather than overseeing other aspects of digital asset markets.
A senior Republican committee staffer involved in drafting the legislation told reporters on April 24 that they had narrowed the scope of a stablecoin billin response to feedback from lawmakers. The bill, aimed at providing “for the regulation of payment stablecoins,” would be separate from legislation focused on custodial service providers, algorithmic stablecoins, and a study on central bank digital currencies.
Under the current draft of the bill, the Federal Reserve would largely be in charge of non-bank stablecoin issuers. The issuers would also have to meet certain federal criteria to also qualify as a payment stablecoin issuer even under a state charter. In addition, the wording of the draft bill no longer included a two-year ban on algorithmic stablecoins first proposed in September 2022 in the wake of the depegging of TerraUSD Classic .
"Permitted payment stablecoin issuers shall maintain reserves backing the issuer’s payment stablecoins outstanding on an at least one to one basis," said the draft bill."In any insolvency proceeding [...] claims from persons holding payment stablecoins issued by the permitted payment stablecoin issuer shall have priority over all other claims against the payment issuer."
