U.S. House of Representatives releases discussion draft on stablecoin regulation

GuShiio.com learned that FOX reporter Eleanor Terrett tweeted that French Hill, Chairman of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, and Bryan Steil, Chairman of the Digital Assets Subcommittee, issued a discussion paper aimed at establishing a regulatory framework for U.S. stablecoins. The bill stipulates that issuers who pay stablecoins must obtain approval from federal or state regulators and meet 1:1 asset reserve requirements. Reserve assets include U.S. dollars, treasury bonds and short-term repurchase agreements. Issuers need to regularly disclose reserves and accept accounting audits and regulatory reports. In addition, the bill prohibits the re-pledge of reserve assets, sets isolation requirements for client funds, and authorizes federal and state regulators to monitor compliance by stablecoin issuers. The bill imposes a two-year ban on stablecoins that rely solely on self-created digital assets as collateral and requires the Treasury Department to conduct a study on the risks of such assets.
