Yesterday a disastrous new bill was introduced to congress:
The STABLE Act, which stands for Stablecoin Tethering and Bank Licensing Enforcement.
Under the guise of "protecting people" it will require stablecoin issuers to obtain a banking charter. Meaning, only banks will be able to issue stablecoins.
They said: “Digital currencies, whose value is permanently pegged to or stabilized against a conventional currency like the dollar, pose new regulatory challenges while also represent a growing source of the market, liquidity, and credit risk.”
Indeed it does seem highly suspicious that the act seems to further entrench the interests of juggernauts like JP Morgan Chase, a bank that already has its own stablecoin, to the detriment of those who are looking for alternatives to the banking system rather than forced participation in it.

Naomi - you may eventually need more staff to help you: The legal cycle will hit a feverish pitch as the "Great Reset" gets underway.
You may be overwhelmed by a vast cacophony of legal spaghetti-code being spattered about.
We can anticipate a new law every thirty seconds somewhere on the planet as all the pond-scum we know as bureaucrats race to satisfy every crypto-curbing barrier erection in legislatures around the world.
