Federal Reserve proposes stablecoin safeguards
The Federal Reserve recently requested public comments on two proposals tied to the GENIUS Act.
One of the proposals requires that any stablecoin that comes under the supervision of the Fed should be 100% held against certain approved assets. One possible option for them is to be held up against short-term US treasury bills or some others that could easily be converted into cash.
The issuers would be required to possess the necessary capital capacity to take losses. Rules would extend from risk management to custody to their ability to allow their clients’ money to be returned when requested.
Another proposal would tell eligible banks and firms how they can get permission to issue stablecoins.
This move matters to Solana because stablecoins form part of both the large trading volume and payments that they host. Clear US regulations could attract regulated issuers and users to stablecoins for use on public blockchains.
The latest announcement does not mean that the Fed endorsed Solana or any other blockchain.
