New developments are emerging regarding stablecoin regulations, which are closely followed in the cryptocurrency sector. It is reported that the agreement reached between industry stakeholders and the Senate Banking Committee, led by Thom Tillis, regarding stablecoin yield and reward mechanisms is no longer expected to be publicly released this week.
A statement from Tillis’s office said that, contrary to the schedule given last week, the release of the text has been postponed. A source close to the matter stated that the delay stems from concerns that releasing the draft text before committee discussions (markup) could create fertile ground for opposition maneuvers that could slow the bill’s progress. These committee discussions are expected to take place in the second half of the month.
The development comes amid ongoing intense negotiations between the cryptocurrency sector and representatives of traditional finance. Talks had accelerated again after an initial draft text agreed upon by Tillis, Angela Alsobrooks, and the White House generated dissatisfaction within the sector.
