Stablecoins, or cryptocurrencies pegged to a stable asset like gold or the U.S. dollar, have ballooned into a $227 billion market. While federal regulation has been slow to materialize, that may soon change. On Thursday, the Senate Banking Committee will mark up the bipartisan GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act), which aims to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins. Meanwhile, The US Securities and Exchange Commission may be preparing to end its enforcement action against Ripple Labs after more than four years. #siamstr #nostr #Siamstr
