This Is Exactly When US Bipartisan Stablecoin Bill Could Be Voted On

As lawmakers were in process of agreeing on imposing tougher oversight of stablecoins, a tentative timeline is on the cards. Last week, it was reported that Maxine Waters and Patrick McHenry were set to reach a deal on stablecoin bill. Folowing the agreement, it was hoped that the House Financial Services Committee could vote on it.

Stablecoin Bill Could Be Considered After Weeks?

“Lawmakers were unable to complete work on the draft bill ahead of a planned committee vote tentatively set for Wednesday. Issues like standards around so-called custodial wallets are yet to be finalized in the draft bill.”

If and when any progress is made with the stablecoin bill, it could have a huge impact on the future of crypto trading. The U.S. lawmakers are not convinced that the existing laws could help maintain the financial stability and regulate crypto assets. Increased pressure around regulatory action on stablecoins started after the fallout of Terra’s UST stablecoin.
