Big win for stablecoins today
A reminder that Sherrod Brown (voted out) and Elizabeth Warren were the reason a bipartisan bill from the House last year never had a chance to see the Senate floor.
Here's a rough overview of the bill:
- Federal oversight in most cases
- Increased transparency requirements and public disclosures, i.e. are stablecoins backed with real assets
- Some compliance stuff
Ultimately, will be a boon for fintech / tradfi adoption. Which will normalize using public blockchains for more practical stuff.
I would expect in the medium term this benefits decentralized stablecoins like DAI.
