SEC Remain Principle Stablecoin Roadblocks
Although there were still considerable party-line differences of opinion on stablecoin legislation, today’s HFSC Digital-Assets Subcommittee hearing suggests that remaining divides are narrowing, increasing the odds of a new federal-regulatory framework.

Brown (D-OH) will agree to yet another regulatory role for the Fed even if he does decide to advance a bill in this arena.
