US Congress Introduces Bill to Regulate Stablecoins​

A U.S. lawmaker has introduced a bill that will treat stablecoin issuers as banks. According to the STABLE Act, stablecoin issuers have to obtain a banking charter and abide by all the current banking regulations. In a press release, the lawmakers said they were seeking to protect consumers from risks posed by emerging digital payment systems such as Facebook’s Libra and stablecoins. The Stablecoin Tethering and Bank Licensing Enforcement (STABLE) Act was introduced in U.S. Congress by Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib, along with Reps. Jesús Garcia and Stephen Lynch. Tlaib described the Act as “getting ahead of the curve” in protecting consumers against digital currency crimes. The STABLE Act will require that any stablecoin issuer: Obtains a banking charter. Notify and obtain approval from the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other banking regulator six months prior to issuing the stablecoin. Follows the appropriate banking regulations under the existing regulatory jurisdictions. Obtain FDIC insurance or maintain reserves at the Fed to ensure that its stablecoins can be readily converted into USD on demand. The legislators singled out Facebook’s Libra as one of the stablecoins that pose great danger if left unregulated. They stated that Facebook has attempted to take advantage of the financial exclusion and gap in the market. Facebook’s Libra stablecoin could finally see the light of day as soon as January 2021. Citing three insiders, the Financial Times reported that the Libra Association plans to add more fiat currencies that would back Libra’s value, besides the dollar.
