美国众议院推迟了一项解决使用稳定币带来的风险的法案。 该法案的投票将推迟到 9 月,直到立法者解决法案中的一些未解决问题。
《华尔街日报》的一篇报道称,众议院成员将推迟对稳定币法案的投票。 由于周三的委员会会议没有完整的草案,投票已被推迟到 9 月。
该法案有许多未解决的问题,包括财政部关于保管钱包的规定。 美国证券交易委员会(SEC)也提出了担忧。
一直对加密货币法规直言不讳的财政部长珍妮特耶伦表示,需要与拜登政府协商,才能就该法案做出正式回应。
耶伦尚未公开就这项新法案发表意见。 然而,她主张明确稳定币法规,甚至提到 TerraUSD (UST) 稳定币的崩溃。 今年早些时候,拜登政府发布了一项关于加密监管的行政命令,以解决数字资产监管框架中的差距。
Crypto regulations in the US
The crypto market in the United States is regulated by the Commodity Futures Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Lawmakers in the country have also introduced bills to regulate crypto assets, including stablecoins, but these bills are yet to be agreed upon.
Josh Gottheimer, a representative from New Jersey, tabled a bill known as the “Stablecoin Innovation and Protection Act.” The bill will enable the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to support stablecoins like fiat currencies.
Another bill before lawmakers is a bipartisan bill launched by Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand. The bill was launched in June and had a provision for stablecoin regulations. However, the consideration for the bill could be postponed to 2023.
Lawmakers based in the United Kingdom are also pushing ahead with regulations on stablecoins amid an unstable political climate. Earlier this month, several legislatures resigned, prompting the country’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, to also announce his resignation. The UK Treasury department is also considering accepting stablecoins as legal payment methods accepted in the country.
