Stablecoins are a critical part of the growing digital asset ecosystem. We need rules to protect Jersey families as they invest in digital assets in America — instead of overseas. I’m helping introduce the STABLE Act to keep innovation in the US and protect American’s digital pocketbooks.

For years, I’ve been calling on regulators to step up and create clear guardrails for digital assets to protect consumers.

Rep Josh Gottheimer

@RepJoshG

The SEC has not proposed a single rule to create guardrails for digital assets and has done a haphazard job of overseeing the space. The result has been a lack of certainty and clear rules of the road. They failed to do their job, and they failed to protect consumers.

There are several proposals that could move the ball forward for digital assets, including a new House Financial Services stablecoins bill. There are still details we have to work out, but I’m bullish on the bill and want to move forward on a strong and effective bipartisan bill.

That’s why I’ve developed legislation, the Stablecoin Innovation and Protection Act, that would create guardrails for stablecoins and ensure that they are all backed one-to-one with cash or equivalents to help protect consumers and investors.

The Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence has repeatedly asked for resources and it's high time we invest in protections against crypto-related crime and cybercrime. We can't wait for the next ransomware attack or allow terrorists to finance their attacks with crypto.

"It's crazy right now that you can actually develop a stablecoin and have it not be backed by anything," says @RepJoshG on #stablecoins. "Part of the concern is that it's unclear what they're backed by. They're going to actually have to show what those resources are."
