The Net of Payments Stablecoins Act recognizes the powerful role states play in regulating digital asset companies and builds on successful state regimes like New York's.
We are now at a crossroads to keep America at the forefront of digital asset innovation. Congress is making significant and nonpartisan legislative progress to enable the United States to lead the financial system of the future. We have to finish the job.”
