The overwhelming bipartite adoption of the Stablescoin bill of the American Senate, with a final vote of 68-30 which saw Tuesday a huge wave of democrats will join their republican counterparts, while the legislation is now heading to the House of Representatives.
The main democratic support for the guidance law and establishing national innovation for the American staboins of 2025 (genius) helps to give it a momentum while it landed in the other chamber, where the legislators of the room can either vote on it as written or pursue changes that will require a final turn to the Senate before it could go to the office of President Donald Trump.
As written, the bill would set up railings around the approval and supervision of American stable-co-emitting transmitters, tokens based on a dollar such as those supported by Circle, Ripple and Tether. Companies putting these digital assets available to American users should meet strict reserve requests, transparency requirements, compliance with money laundering and regulatory supervision which is also likely to include new capital rules.
Ji Kim, interim CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, described it as a “historic step for the digital asset industry”, in a prepared declaration shared before the vote
“This is a victory for the United States, a victory for innovation and a monumental step towards appropriate regulations for digital assets in the United States,” said Amanda Tuminelli, executive director and legal director of the DEFI education fund, in a similar declaration.
Although he did not convince some of the most vocal democratic criticisms such as senator Elizabeth Warren, who say that she allows gaps for foreign tokens such as Tether’s
does not deal with conflicts presented by personal participation in the cryptography of President Trump and opens a path for technology giants such as Amazon to issue their own documents, the donors of the bill in his party essentially argued that nothing is not an option.
“With this bill, the United States is one more step to become the world leader in the crypto,” said senator Bill Hagerty, the Tennessee Republican who sponsored the bill, while the Senate was preparing to vote on Tuesday. “The value of the stablecoins will be set to the US dollar and supported one by one in cash and the American treasury bills.
Although it is the first significant crypto bill to erase the Senate, it is also the first time that a Stablecoin bill has adopted one or the other chamber, despite years of negotiation in the Chamber’s Financial Services Committee which succeeded in producing another major cryptography legislation during the previous session of the Congress.
The fate of the law on engineering is also closely linked to the law on the clarity of the digital asset market of the Chamber, the more radical Crypto bill which would establish the legal foot of the wider American cryptographic markets. The effort of Stablecoin is slightly ahead of the greater task of the market structure bill, but industry and their legislative allies argue that they are inextricably linked and must become the law together. Until now, the Clarity Act has been authorized by the committees of the room concerned and awaits the action on the ground.
The lobbyists of the cryptographic industry are now turning to the house on these two questions. A new TRUM Labs Tuesday report indicates that stablecoins represent more than 60% of current cryptographic transactions, and more than 90% of these parts are fixed to the US dollar – dominated by the USDC and the USDT.
“Although TRM estimates that 99% of the Stablecoin activity is lawful, their speed, their scale and their liquidity made them attractive for illicit uses, including ransomware payments, fraud and terrorist financing,” noted the analytical organization.
Illicit finance represents one of the main complaints of criticism in the congress.
